Boy Shorts, a Sexy Panty or Swimwear Style
By Barb H
If you are looking for a more conservative swimsuit style but still want something that is stylish and trendy, the Boy Short style of swimwear should top your list. What makes the boy short so appealing to a growing number of women is its coverage and sex appeal.
What are Boy Shorts?
Boy Shorts are also often called shorties, boy leg briefs or boys’ cut panties. These names may sound masculine but this style of panty or swimwear is ultra feminine and sexy. The boy short cut can vary to some degree in its design but to be considered a boy short it must maintain the basic boy brief look.
The boy short style of swimwear or lingerie panty is designed with a longer leg and a lower riding waistline. The leg opening normally rests at the start of the thigh and the waistline is at or below the hip. This resembles a pair of men’s boxer shorts or boy briefs. They typically have a banded or belted top, and leg openings that lack gathered elastic. They come in various lengths, fabrics and colors. A lot like cheeky hot pants, but worn as lingerie or swimwear.
Who is Wearing Boy Cut Swimwear Bottoms?
Women of every size and shape are enjoying this popular swimwear style. For those of us that want to wear a two piece swimsuit but feel a standard bikini bottom is too revealing the boy cut style of swimwear is a perfect compromise. It can be matched with any style swimwear top and look fabulous.
This style is also wonderful for covering problem areas of the body. For example, many women with stretch marks on their lower torso love the higher waist, belted style because of its ability to conceal. By carefully selecting the boy short style best suited for your particular body type or perceived flaws, you can look and feel beautiful on the beach or pool side. These are also very popular plus size swimwear bottoms.
Fancy a little less coverage?
If you are charmed by the look and feel of the traditional boy short panty or swimwear bottom, but would like a little more of a cheeky look, try a tanga. The tanga style panty or swimwear bottom has nearly the same characteristics as the boy cut but with a higher cut in the rear giving a more cheeky appearance. Tangas can range from barely any exposure to a mini tanga that is basically a g-string or thong style bottom as viewed from the back. The tanga style swimwear bottom is often the choice for those not comfortable with the exposure of the standard thong or g-string.
