No matter the size or shape of your body, there are undies for everyone, and trying new styles will probably help you see and appreciate your body in a different way.
Let’s talk about high-cut panties, which were very popular in the 80s and early 90s. This type of underwear is characterized by narrower and higher side panels that show more of the thighs.
High-cut styles have made a comeback in recent years, not only in panties but also in swimwear. And it makes sense: this panty style is perfect for showing off long legs (or lengthening shorter legs) but is also comfortable because it offers moderate coverage. It’s ultra-flattering and comfortable.
Additionally, high-cut underwear can be found in a variety of different styles, from bikinis and thongs to briefs:
High-cut styles elongate the legs and tend to highlight the waist, as long as the side panels are thin. The thicker the panel, the more the waist will be “blurred.”
The Difference between High Waist and High Cut Underwear
Pay attention here because they look similar but are not the same: one is high waist and the other is high cut.
High waist underwear sits an inch below the navel and has a retro, pin-up girl vibe. They are very romantic, comfortable, and flattering.
The main advantage of this style is that they can smooth out your silhouette, especially with certain dresses, skirts, and pants, and can also function as shaping garments.
On the other hand, high-cut panties, as the name suggests, have a high-cut leg. In other words, the sides of the panties are narrower and show more thigh.
Almost every underwear brand offers both models. Don’t stick to just one style, there are multiple cuts that cause different effects on your body, and you can take advantage of them to show off your clothes.
