Fashion arbiters say stockings are gauche? And bare-legged is the way to go?

Take it one step further, baby.
Underpants are o-v-e-r.

Yes, you heard right, and you heard it here first. This season, the undergarment industry is going to take a beating, because now, along with stockings, panties have been declared passe.

In the words of LA stylist Jessica Paster, who dresses Heather Graham, Minnie Driver, and Cate Blanchett, “Going commando is not as much about fashion as necessity. Sometimes panty lines need to be absent in order for clothes to look beautiful.”

No panty lines! No mix-and-match! Recession-sensitive, too!

And oh yeah. The guys will love you for it.
