What goes around in fashion comes back around eventually…or so they say. Some fashion trends we are just happy to see “go” and one can only pray they never come back around to haunt our closets. Memorable-yet oddly hideous trends like Earth shoes or Poodle skirts should die peacefully and permanently in their place in history. Other trends might be fun to rekindle one day. It might be fun to see big shoulder pads back en vogue, or perhaps even stirrup pants. Fashion is fickle and it seems all relative to what I currently own. Whatever I’ve got is bound to not be what’s current and fashion forward, at least not for long. I just can’t seem to keep up!
Fashion trends are always changing in the lingerie world, too. Now that I have an entire wardrobe of g-strings and thongs, some consider them on their way “out” and other types of underwear are now “in”. Vintage styling in lingerie appears to be all the rage, largely inspired by hit televisions programs such as Mad Men, which is seen currently on AMC. The show takes place in the 60’s and has created a mini-resurgence in the fashion trends of this decade. The shows style mavens take you back to an era when clothing emphasized a more womanly and hourglass shaped figure. For whatever it’s worth, this seems to include “high-waisted briefs”—and yes, believe it or not they are sexy. The very pretty and very retro inspired underwear are Don Draper (and probably your boyfriend) approved.
Sexy you say? Are you dubious? I’m trying to stay away from calling them what may seem the obvious, as these definitely aren’t your average Granny panties. Several high-end lingerie retailers such as Hanky Panky and La Perla have come up with high-waister’s so luscious that nobody-yes, nobody-is going to be thinking about anybody’s Granny anything. These undies are not only sexy but comfy, too–now that’s a trend that may very well be worth repeating.
