Sometimes, old trends make a comeback in the fashion cycle. While some trends should probably stay in the past (I'm looking at you, jelly shoes), there are some that should be welcomed back to the modern era.
"Granny panties," as in that underwear your grandma likely wore and still wears, is back in a huge way. Not only is this trend chic, but it's also so, so comfortable!
These high-waisted or hip-hugging briefs are usually made out of cotton and sold in packs of six. They have been considered the definition of "un-sexy", even though, truth be told, THEY ARE COMFORTABLE.
Remember when they were the "butt" of the joke (sorry, I had to) in Bridget Jones' Diary?
Oh, so my husband can wear comfortable, breezy boxers and no one bats an eye, but I want full butt coverage and people think I'm crazy? That's a double-standard right there.
Don't ask me how this math adds up, but a pack of granny panties is like, what, $6? Meanwhile, one lacey thong from Victoria's Secret is $12 or more. What?
After years of being neglected, granny panties are finally having their moment. Brands like Savage x Fenty feature granny panties prominently in their new lingerie line.
Rihanna is fully embracing the granny panty trend, especially when it comes to her body-inclusive lingerie line. Yaaaasssss, Riri!
So besides being super comfy, granny panties can be just as sexy as thongs. Come, on. You're not going to tell me Kim isn't working it here, are you?
Not only do they look amazing, but they come in plus-size options, too. Yes!
I'm so glad that people have come to their senses and embraced these practical, yet stylish, panties. Who else is going out right now to stock up on a fresh pack?
