Whether you call them knickers, panties, or simply underwear, the right pair can make all the difference in how you feel throughout the day. At Understatement, we design our styles to bring together comfort, confidence, and great design - with no compromises.
In this guide, we break down the most-loved styles, materials, and coverage options so you can find what works best for your shape, outfit, and mood.
Shop by Style
Cheeky
Flirty, feminine, and cut to highlight your curves. Cheeky knickers (or panties) offer moderate back coverage and sit between a brief and a thong. They’re perfect for days when you want something fun and flattering - and yes, still comfortable.
Brief
A timeless classic. Our briefs give full back coverage and a smooth, second-skin fit that works under anything. Whether you call them high-rise panties or traditional knickers, they’re your go-to for all-day ease.
Thong
Loved for their invisible lines and minimal feel. Thongs offer barely-there coverage and a seamless look under fitted clothing - ideal when you want comfort with zero VPL (visible panty line).
Highwaist
Supportive and effortlessly sleek. Highwaist knickers (or high-rise panties) sit above the hips and offer light tummy coverage with a smooth silhouette. Equal parts retro and modern, they feel as good as they look.
Hipster
Low-rise at the front, full coverage at the back. Hipsters offer a secure, everyday fit that stays in place, with a cut that works under most waistlines - from high-rise jeans to mid-rise trousers.
Shop by Material
Lace
Delicate, stretchy, and breathable. Our lace knickers are made from recycled fabrics that feel soft against the skin - offering comfort and elegance all in one. Whether you’re dressing up or lounging in, lace adds that extra something.
Mesh
Light, airy, and ultra-modern. Mesh is perfect for warmer days or when you want a more breathable feel. Our mesh underwear is designed to look bold but feel like you’re wearing nothing at all.
Microfibre
Sleek and smooth with a second-skin finish. Microfibre knickers (or panties) move with you, offer great stretch, and stay invisible under clothes. They’re the ultimate everyday essential.
Shop by Coverage
Minimum Coverage
Think thongs or cheeky styles - ideal for figure-hugging outfits or when you want less fabric and more freedom. These cuts prioritise lightness and invisibility.
Medium Coverage
Perfect for everyday wear, hipsters and cheeky briefs strike a balance between coverage and silhouette. Soft, flattering, and never bulky.
More Coverage
Prefer something more secure? Briefs and highwaist styles give you the most coverage at the front and back - while still looking modern and clean under clothes.
Final Thoughts
Your underwear should support your lifestyle - not restrict it. That’s why we offer a range of cuts, materials, and fits to suit every body and every day. Whether you say knickers or panties, what matters most is how they make you feel.
