High-Waisted vs High Leg Knickers: What’s the Difference?

Are you confused about the difference between high-waisted and high leg knickers? You're not alone! These two styles may seem similar at first glance, but there are some key differences that can affect how they look and feel on your body. In this blog post, we'll break down the distinctions between high leg and high-waisted knickers so you can choose the perfect style of knickers for you.

SO, WHAT ARE HIGH-WAISTED KNICKERS?

When it comes to lingerie, understanding the difference between high-waisted and high leg knickers can make all the difference in how they look and feel on your body. High-waisted knickers are designed to sit above your belly button, providing extra coverage and support around your midsection. Featuring a wide waistband that helps to prevent them from rolling down and ensures a comfortable fit all day long. Plus, they're perfect for pairing with high-waisted trousers and skirts for a seamless look. Take, for example, the Sofia Lace Embroidered Deep Brief, which features a high-waist design and delicate lace embroidery for a touch of elegance.

For those who prefer a more retro-inspired look, high-waisted knickers like the New Romance High-Waist Midi Brief offer a flattering silhouette with a vintage flair. These knickers sit comfortably on your waist and provide ample coverage while still looking stylish and feminine. If you're looking for another flattering option, consider the Imogen Rose Embroidered Brief. With its high-cut openings and intricate rose embroidery, this knicker style is perfect for adding a touch of glamour to your lingerie collection.

WHAT MAKES HIGH LEG KNICKERS DIFFERENT?

On the other hand, high leg knickers are cut higher on the hips, that flatter and complement your legs and natural figure. These knickers sit lower on the waist than high-waisted styles, making them a popular choice for those who prefer a lower-rise fit. High leg knickers often feature a high-cut leg opening that extends up the hip, such as the Viva Luxe High Leg Brief. With its high leg design and smooth satin fabric, these knickers provide a comfortable and stylish option for everyday wear.
