1This Shockingly Soft Underwear With Scalloped Lace Trim

There’s absolutely no reason comfort can’t come first even if you’re shopping for cute underwear. These hipsters are made from bamboo-based viscose that feels silky-soft with many of the benefits of cotton, but in a ribbed knit with scalloped lace trim they feel a little more special than those plain but trusty briefs. They’re thin enough to lie smoothly under clothes and fully lined in the crotch like any good pair should be. “These are cute and very soft. Like extremely soft,” one shopper emphasized. “Also, they don't shrink in the dryer! Definitely get 'em if you're thinking about it.”

The wide waistband hugs tight without pinching or rolling, and a small slit in the back ensures you have room to stride when you’re on a deadline. “You can add a mesh top or bodysuit and wear it for a night out, but you can also add a crop top or casual top to it and wear it for comfortable shopping girls day,” a reviewer raved of its versatility.
