We've all been there: you're in yoga class and the teacher shifts to downward dog, and you know you're about to give the person behind you a real eye-full. Stupid see-through leggings! So many cheap (and sometimes expensive) black leggings are totally see-through and you don't even know it until you've already popped the tag and worn them a couple times. Well, have no fear--we have the most simple trick for telling whether your leggings are currently see-through or will be after just a few washes. 

 

Click the next slide to find out how!

Easy enough? And for those of you whose leggings-underwear-struggle is real, here's an entire Reddit thread on the topic. You're welcome!
