A vast majority of lingerie trends come and go, but knickers are for life, which is ironic, seeing as they’re the underwear style that is constantly overlooked.
Bras command most of the attention, likely because they can be styled in a way that makes them integral to your outfit—think a flash of lace underneath an unbuttoned blouse, or simply on its own as your ensemble’s main focal point. However, as knickers are, for the most part, going to be covered up (sheer and naked dresses aside), they’re all too often forgotten about. It’s a shame, seeing as there are so many beautiful briefs to be had out there.
