One of the first things we do in the morning is put on a fresh pair of underwear. It’s the backbone of any good wardrobe, along with bras that actually fit. If we’re being honest, though, our skivvies often play second fiddle to bras; we tend to put more careful thought into our bra choices, but selecting what goes on the bottom half of our bodies warrants equal consideration. So, with the help of our favourite lingerie ladies, I’ll be shifting the focus on thongs, boyshorts, briefs, and more.
Barring the few times you have gone commando, more often than not, you’re wearing the panties of some sort. To keep you-up-to-date on your terminology, I have listed underwear every woman should own- starting with G-strings and making our way to high waists. Get the skinny skivvies, right this way.
Below are 3 Classy and Sexy Underwear for Women
Underwear – G-Strings
You may be asking yourself, ‘what’s the difference between a G-string and a regular thong?’ That’s a valid question. And no, they’re not interchangeable terms I the lingerie world. For starters, G-strings are the skimpiest of skinny underwear choices.
Fleur du Mal founder and designer Jennifer Zuccarini explains. ‘G=string are usually a small triangle of fabric in the front, and just elastic or straps everywhere else. There’s a reason the intimate is jokingly referred to as ‘floss’. That said, Negative cofounders Marissa Vosper and Lauren Schwab note, ‘G-strings are useful under bodycon dresses and skirts, where you might otherwise go commando but aren’t quite down with that program.
Underwear – Briefs
Maybe briefs don’t have the sexiest connotations. So what? Briefs can be absolutely gorgeous and, unless you’re trying to hide panty lines, are great for everyday. They’re similar to bikinis, but they offer a more traditional cut and extra coverage – think more of a straight-cut leg versus a high cut on the hip.
Bikini – Underwear
With the advent of ‘checkie’ and ‘cheekinis’, today, the term ‘bikini’ is pretty vogue and can mean a lot of things. If you’re equally confused, think of the style as a middle ground between thongs and briefs. Typically slim on the sides, and with just enough on the behind to offer some coverage, a bikini is not only very sexy, but another great option for a less visible finish. The skivvy has a low-slung, cool vibe that’s perfect when layered under denim.
