Seamless underwear will be your new best friend, for those amongst us new to the woes of indiscreet knickers. Your go-to solution in times of a VPL (visible pant line) crisis, this magical invention opens up a whole new world of outfits without having to commit to going full-commando. While we champion 'no pants' for those who feel comfortable doing so, sometimes it’s just nice to have that bit of extra coverage and support - even if it’s invisible.

And let’s be honest with ourselves, that pesky panty line has happened to us all and ruined those outfits we had so meticulously planned in our heads for weeks. Whether you've got a fabulous destination wedding coming up, or simply work drinks on a Friday, a classic case of VPL can take the attention away from all your brilliant styling work.

So, in the name of fashion, we’ve trawled the depths of the internet to find the best seamless underwear, knickers, and thongs that are guaranteed to make you feel happy and secure in your outfits. You’re welcome.

Kim Kardashian is the queen of shapewear right now, and her billion-dollar empire is a must for combatting those VPLs. This sculpting SKIMS bodysuit doesn't just flatten the edges in the panty department, but it also shapes your whole body.

Ethically made with recycled materials and stamped as PETA 'vegan-approved', these seamless briefs have an organic cotton gusset (the bit between your legs) and are sent out with CO2 neutral shipping. Plus, the cheeky high-rise style comes in black, white and four different neutral shades.

Ah, ASOS. What would we do without you, eh? Always on-hand to provide us with *literally* everything we need, (like these shaping shorts from Spanx) - we can't thank you enough.

These high-rise stretch-woven shorts come in the most beautiful bronze colour and work effortlessly to protect you against the dreaded VPL.

These no VPL knickers from Next are finished with the cutest scallops. Available in neutral or black, you can wear them at your next do for the pleasure of just £9. Yes, please.

Luxuriously lightweight with seamless coverage, the clue is in the name 'commando' without having to actually go underwear-free. These briefs offer support without feeling constricting.

A lingerie brand that set out to redefine what 'nude' means, Nubian Skin launched suitable skin-tone hosiery and lingerie for women of colour, which had long been lacking before. Their no VPL classic briefs are exactly what you need under that dream white dress.

These no-VPL shorts are made from smooth, floral lace, and provide a generous amount of coverage and support due to their mid-rise style. They've also got added stretch, so you can relax and feel comfortable all night long.

This magical little seamless thong addresses the occasional problem that can come from wearing a low-waisted thong - if it's too tight (or even if it's not) the material can dig in at your waistline, creating a bumpy silhouette. Thanks for solving that one, Figleaves.

We love the higher waist on this thong style for added tummy support. This microfibre design is super soft-ribbed and durable and can be paired with a matching seamless bra.

When you hear 'indiscreet underwear', you think of neutral colours, but it doesn't have to be classic black or nude all the time. These bold and bright pairs from Les Girls Les Boys do the trick nicely under jeans and dark trousers. We love the daffodil hue. Plus, their seamfree range uses a zero-waste seamless knitting technique. Stylish and sustainable, win win.

Modibodi is part of the new guard of multitasking knickers that are helping save the planet (not to mention keeping us comfortable) by cutting down on sanitary product waste. With a built-in absorbency panel for heavy flow and overnight wear, this seamless pair has rave reviews with several women describing them as "life-changing" on their website. We're in.

An underwear institution, if you are looking for seamless knickers - or knickers in general, really - Victoria's Secret is a good place to start. The seamless hipster panty comes in a multitude of colour and print options, we love this logo printed teal pair. But if you can't decide, you can bulk buy five pairs for £30.

The high rise leg works great beneath silky feeling skirts and dresses and don't you just love that bright sandy shade? These Brave Soul briefs are on sale at only £6, along with their matching bralette. Nab yourself the set quick.

These comfy seamless knickers from M&S' B by Boutique range are ultra stylish in hot pink. The relaxed rib texture looks and feels beautiful and the matching bralette has multiple thin straps giving the set a sport edge. If you're looking for something a little more neutral, they come in white and a dark brown colour too.

The bikini shape is an easy, wearable style. Lululemon's pair are designed to wear during yoga and training, so they are light, airy and quick-drying for when you work up a sweat. As well as this cute purple shade they come in black and a dark olive colour.

Aussie brand Cotton On has excellent seamless co-ord sets in plenty of colours like this crisp white pairing that are extremely affordable, too. This high rise '80s style fit is so flattering you won't want to cover them up.

If you want proper coverage, these barely-there anti-chafing shorts from M&S are superb. They're smoothing and feature their cool comfort technology, meaning they will help protect against any chafing in hot weather. Whoop!

A bargain at £8, the high waist, as well as the super high leg, is ideal for wearing beneath silky soft dresses. This pair will no doubt become a popular one in your rotation.

These thongs really are undie-tectable, and we love it. From their elastic-free edges to ensure a clean line to the cotton gusset being comfortable and breathable, you'll be able to feel confident and attractive in whatever you wear.

As well as regular shapewear, SKIMS has a great range of maternity options, too. These sculpting shorts are non-compressive, and they allow your little one to grow easily.

If you prefer slightly more coverage than something itty-bitty, try John Lewis' shorts-style seamless knickers. Oh, and it's three for £16 - bargain.

Try these Spanx on for size for your next no VPL outfit. Designed to support the tummy and provide a streamlined shape throughout, these power panties really are what they say on the tin. Powerful.

Get a smooth start to your day with these shaping high-waist full-coverage briefs. In classic black for that special night-out vibe, they are available in sizes 16-28.
