Lately I've become obsessed with high waisted panties. I just find them more comfortable, flattering and the hold me in so I have a much smoother silhouette, especially since I love to wear fitted dresses and skirts. The only problem is that the majority of big knickers (in my price range) that are around are those nasty granny ones (which do have their uses but can make you feel less than desirable). For years knickers were teeny and unless you had a massive budget you were forced to wear teeny knickers with cute prints and pretty fabrics or wear big knickers that would resemble your aunts!
Thankfully though, more and more places are making and stocking sexy and luxurious high waisted knickers. From the bra makers Curvy Kate to the good auld Dunnes. But I don't think that's enough. Over the past few months I've been browsing the web to find more high waisted panties to add to my collection and the majority are unnaturally expensive! People seem to link high waisted knickers to either granny pants or super sexy lingerie that only come out when you are seducing your man. And super sexy lingerie happen to have a super sexy price tag that one cannot afford. But why are they so expensive and why do only exotic boutiques stock them? Why can I not find them in Penneys or La Senza on a daily basis (and not one every year or so).
Am I alone in this? Am I the only one who loves seductive high waisted knickers? Is that why they are not trickling down into high street shops at decent prices? Does this annoy anyone else or am I just a wee bit mad?
Rant over...
i hear ya! American Apparel where I work has been stocking big pants for about a year now, we have a pretty good selection of them. They aren't Penneys cheap, but then they are reasonable and are better quality and made ethically, so i guess that's why....anyway. big love to big pants!
ReplyDeleteI really like high waisted pants! But i find really difficult to find nice ones...
ReplyDeleteI love them too! Hipster pants are so bloody uncomfortable. I have yet to find a nice cheap high-waisted pair however.
ReplyDeleteThey're incredible and now that manufacturers have realised ways to get rid of cheek VPL, big knickers are making a come back. Love them too! I have a few pairs, but I have the same experience as you, you just kind of grab a pair as and when you come across them quite randomly. I can't afford the beautiful ones online! If you find anything gorgeous and cheapish lemme know! Xx
ReplyDeleteIn total agreement..! I love them, they're so flattering but too hard too find, I've only one pair :(
ReplyDeleteOoh, what are those darling pink cut-outs in the lower right? Too cute!
ReplyDeleteSF: I'm afraid I don't know... tis from google images, sorry
ReplyDeleteWhen I find some, I get 3 or 4! I love big pants..care not! haha!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, thought this was something shameful I had to keep to myself! Hipster style knickers cause such unpleasant lumps and bumps in a dress. Especially love the animal print ones in last pic as they come down the thigh a little, even more flattering.
