Baring your undergarments in the name of fashion is nothing new, but it has been trending stronger than ever on recent runways and in street style photos. Miu Miu alone has been popularizing exposed undergarments for several seasons now with its sexy-yet-studious aesthetic — who could forget the viral mini pleated skirt and branded underwear set that covered our social feeds for months?
In addition to bows galore, coquette-core has also made bloomers a popular ‘It’ item over the past year, with many brands catering to the trend with frilled or ruffled hot pants in their new collections. Also supporting the no-pants trend, boxers — either as shorts or exposed over a waistband — were big this past summer as well.

Although visible undies are innately sexy, one needn’t risk a wardrobe malfunction or indecent exposure penalty to adopt the trend. Pair them with stockings, nude leggings or just let them peek out of a low-rise pant. You can also opt for a high-coverage brief or boyshort (Fleur Du Mal’s lace boxers or Negative’s air-light shorts, for example).
If you’re looking to expand your intimates collection, invest in a statement pair reserved for special occasions, such as something sequined or embellished (like those by Miu Miu or Osèree). Or simply go with classic cotton undies you’d wear all the time. LaQuan Smith, Ser.O.Ya, Eres and Alaïa offer chic knit options for fall, while fluttery accents from Cou Cou Intimates or Honey Birdette veer more dainty. An exposed branded waistband via Calvin Klein or Heron Preston will also earn you infinite style points. For something new, consider textile innovations such as Huha’s breathable, bacteria-fighting zinc fabric, or special algae-based dye from Organic Basics that’s fully biodegradable.
