# High Waisted Panties Are Riding High

**By Lavinia Lingerie** · 2018-05-29

Just as hemlines rise and fall with fashion, so too does the rise of your briefs – and with high waisted denim back in favor, it’s time to discover the charms of a [high cut panty](https://lavinialingerie.com/collections/high-waist-briefs "High Waisted Panties") to wear underneath.

At its simplest, a high waisted panty is one where the waistline finishes at the belly button. Within that, though, you’ll find everything from practical shaping panties to pin-up styles with serious va va voom.

Shapewear devotees, of course, have long known about the power of high waisted briefs. With control panels to smooth your tummy and a seamless construction for a no-show look under fitted clothing, shaping panties from brands like Maidenform, Rosme and Wolbar can help define your figure to take a little black party dress from “meh” to “wow” in a heartbeat.

More than just a practical solution for making your clothes look good, a high waisted panty makes a pretty option for your everyday lingerie collection too; Vova is just one of the brands at Lavinia Lingerie that offers high waisted styles alongside low rise bikinis to co-ordinate with its feminine bras. These [hot pink briefs](https://lavinialingerie.com/products/lace-embroidered-high-waist-panty-vova-lingerie-delicatesse-v33342?variant=37631460417 "High Waisted Panties") are a vibrant pick for summer.

But let’s not forget the history of the high waisted panty. High waisted briefs have a vintage appeal that brings to mind the classic pin-ups of the 1940s and 50s – and it’s a look that lives on today in sexy styles by brands including [Claudette](https://lavinialingerie.com/collections/high-waist-briefs/products/claudette-fishnet-pin-up-panty-cd16012?variant=35472100097 "High Waisted Panties"), [Lise Charmel](https://lavinialingerie.com/products/lise-charmel-reve-andalou-sheer-lace-high-waist-panties-ccc0612?variant=35509476673 "High Waisted Panties, Lise Charmel Luxury Lingerie") and [Oh La La Cheri](https://lavinialingerie.com/collections/high-waist-briefs/products/high-waisted-fishnet-panty-garters-oh-la-la-oh6296?variant=35493343809 "High Waisted Panties"). In sheer lace or tulle, with vintage style seaming or even detachable suspenders, a high waisted brief might just be the sexiest panty style of all.
