Celebrity fashion stylist Gok Wan said: “What was once viewed as an ugly piece of underwear women were almost embarrassed about — fast-forward to today, and big knickers are now a core piece to building an outfit, an essential in helping women feel sexy and to embrace and support their shape.
“Undergarments can suck you in, push you up and smooth you out, contributing to a more flattering silhouette.”
Esme Stone, of JD Williams, said: “Big knickers are not just for grannies, they can be confidence boosting under a more figure-hugging outfit and they can be sexy too!”
