Oh, honey. If you’re wearing a dress that’s already revealing in the back or made of mesh, you need opaque shorts. I’m talking no see-through materials. Lace shorts look adorable until the sun hits your dress at the wrong angle and suddenly you’re showcasing a pattern that’s not part of the design.
Stick to solid, non-shiny fabrics. Save the nude-toned mesh or lace for lingerie, not under your going-out dress. Trust me on this one.
The Sneaky “Butt-Coverage” Factor
Short dresses have a way of riding up when you walk. You want shorts that cover your entire butt cheek—yes, the whole thing. A classic mistake is buying shorts that are cut too high on the sides, leaving a flash zone.
Test this at home: bend over in front of a mirror. If you see skin between the shorts and your dress hem, size up or switch styles. Nobody needs a surprise reveal.
