These "French" Underwear Are Trending
In the spirit of National Lingerie Day (yes, it's a thing, and it's today), we celebrated by asking one of her favorite veteran lingerie brands, Hanky Panky, about a fresh trend that's on the horizon. Since they make what many would call (including this editor) the world's best underwear, we were happy to see that it is indeed an underwear trend that they called out.
"We're loving the renewed emphasis on leg-lengthening and flattering high-cut undies and bodysuits," Hanky Panky co-founder Gale Epstein told us. "Our high-cut Signature Lace French Brief is a chic and comfortable take on this trend (and a customer favorite!)" She had us at leg-lengthening and flattering, but the fact that they're made of the brand's signature soft and stretchy lace gives us even more reason to welcome this '80s-inspired style back into our lives. Not only that, but we did a little research, and sure enough, the customer reviews for the French Briefs are excellent everywhere that they're sold. Oh, and they come in tons of pretty colors.
