Believe it or not, we spotted yet another complicated underwear trend to hit the world of lingerie. Let us introduce you to the side-tie trend we’re seeing brands like Le Petit Trou,

Love Stories, and Coco de Mer design. So what makes this feature complicated? Well, regular underwear you simply slip on and you’re good to go, but with this new style, it requires an extra step of adjusting and tying the silky strings (hence the subtle complications).

Over the past year, we’ve seen several lingerie trends like keyhole and cage underwear, the new wave of string undergarments, and the item that weirdly made me happier, to name a few polarizing topics. Whether you’re simply curious what the side-tie look is all about or looking to invest in some new briefs, thongs, or high-rise underwear, we have a variety of options for you below.
