How comfortable are V-cut one-pieces? We tested four to see whether it’s possible to avoid a wince-inducing wedgie

THE latest fast-fashion trend is enough to make you wince.

High-cut, pelvis-exposing bodysuits are taking over the high street but leaving some shoppers crossing their legs.

The thong one-piece – made popular in the Eighties by workout movie star Jane Fonda – has seen a re-emergence with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Vicky Pattison and Miley Cyrus spotted in them.

Gabriele Dirvanauskas asked model Sophie Miller, 23, from Peterborough, to try on four different styles and rate them out of ten for comfort . . .

Verdict: The low neckline and seriously high-cut legs were really uncomfortable–it felt like I was being pulled in different directions.

Comfort rating: 1/10

• Leopard print, £10, from boohoo –
• Jeans, £15.99, from New Look –
• Heels, £35, from Miss Selfridge –

Verdict: This style wasn’t too uncomfortable. The colour is loud and you couldn’t wear it with anything but plain trousers. It is so skimpy it sits over my hip bones. But it does make my legs look longer.

Comfort rating: 6/10

• Hot pink, £20, from Pretty Little Thing –
• Jeans, £38, from asos –
• Heels, £35, from Miss Selfridge –

Verdict: This was actually far more comfortable than it looks – I’d wear it with a skirt, but NOT with my hips on display.

Comfort rating: 8/10

• Striped, £18, from Topshop –
• Skirt, £25, from asos –
• Heels, £65, from Office –

Verdict: This style has to be the highest. My friends thought it looked painful but it wasn’t,and on the plus side it does make my legs look longer.

Comfort rating: 5/10

• Red, £25, from Pretty Little Thing –
• Trousers, £42, from Topshop –
• Heels, £22.99, from New Look –
