Seriously, who in their right mind would wear any of these modesty or shirt panels?!I was browsing through the Betterware catalogue that came through our door, not as good as the Lakeland daydreams I have whilst looking through their catalogue but just as fun to imagine buying random items. Like the above... or not.
I can to a certain degree, imagine in the long dark tea-time of my soul, there may be a couple of poor deluded women that would buy the modesty panels. Maybe they work as a librarian or in the 1940s, where a modesty panel would be needed to ensure the sweater bunnies don't escape and scare the menfolk. No one wants to be all Blake Lively boob-tacular all the time. It may be nice to still have the option to wear your favourite low cut tops in a professional setting for example, without being able to keep pens in your cleavage.
But come on! What sane person thinks, "aha I think a shirt would look great under this jumper but it's too hot. What to do? I'll buy a FAKE shirt collar from a mail order catalogue and it will look ace. I'll be the best dressed woman in the office or in the street. Depending on the street, definitely in the top 3 of the most beautiful girls on the street."
Just reading the blurb beside the photo is suitable miserable, "Achieve the look of layered clothing without the discomfort and bulky effect." I really don't want to live in a world where clothing is solely judged on how comfortable it is, this may be one of my worst nightmares.

Wise words indeed. Also, no way could you get away with these not looking totally fake and cheap, what with them beng exactly that. Raised a good question about how to layer effectively without looking like a version of the Michelin man- fine knit cardigans, pashminas and other options yes, but these things? NononononnoNO!
