Yes, it turns out underwear goes through trend cycles just like other garments, and according to Who What Wear, the underwear world is going through a shift right now.
The boy short underwear, which were very popular until recently, are becoming less and less sought after. New collections feature more retro styles, like high-waisted thongs and high-rise briefs, which are now the crowd favorites.
Another trend that’s currently taking hold is high-cut French briefs, which throw us back to aerobics outfits supermodels like Cindy Crawford and Jane Fonda used to wear in the 1980s.
What’s great about this trend is that high-waisted briefs elongate the line of your legs and emphasize the waistline. In other words, they give you legs for days.
Another more practical upside is that high-waisted underwear is less likely to bunch when you’re wearing high-waisted pants and skirts. The look has been gaining momentum, with current-day supermodels like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid regularly sporting it on Instagram.
