Moral Dilemma - See Through Bottoms

Almost on a daily basis I come across various ladies cycling through London with completely see-through leggings. They might not be see-through standing up, but hunched over a bike they often go completely transparent - with all that's underneath on show.

Now the question is - do I tell the owner of the transparent clothing that their undercrackers are on show? Or would that be deemed offensive/pervy?

Are there any ladies here that could give a view? Would you like to be told?

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

If they've got underwear I'd leave them to it, no worse then people bending over or having their trousers around knees.

Have seen a few horrors on males who have squeezed themselves into very old/thin shorts that look several sizes too small.

My missus thinks it looks horrific. She'd want me to tell her, but I doubt she would be happy with a stranger telling her. I think her view is that any self-respecting woman would check before she left the house.

Haha this! The leggings thing has to be my biggest pet hate at the moment, i just don't think it looks good...skinny jeans fine but leggings nooo......BUT

BUT BUT BUT (lol) - as others have said, I think the best thing to do is to ignore it - if it irks you (the OP) that much then I think maybe you need to look at yourself and why this is a problem for you first...

Live and let live dude, what a stranger, male or female, wears really shouldn't be an issue - unless you're (example) a paramedic and you're dealing with a motorcycle rider who wasn't wearing leathers.

i've thought several times I "should" say something but can never come
up with the right words so tend to just shut up ....

Tricky, isn't it. See a lot of it myself. Stretchy cheapo Primark leggings, not lycra ones...

I choose not to say anything.
