As a girlie-girl, I am thrilled to see the comeback of frilly knickers. I’m not entirely sure but I would guess that Moulin Rouge and films like that may have had a teeny bit of an influence on this trend. Regardless of what started the new frilly knickers craze, I couldn’t be happier and I guess the sentiment is shared by many other women around the world who love this look that is the perfect fusion of sweet, naughty and chic.

Frilly knickers, or as some would call them - rhumba panties or patty panty, are basically a hip panty that has dainty frills, ruffles and/or lace trimmings. They are super feminine and depending what you pair them with can look vintage glam, retro chic or modern sexy. French Maid frilly knickers are a classic must have for any girl who enjoys dressing up. The colour you choose can also play a part in your overall look. For instance, pink frilly knickers with a matching bra and white hold ups can look demure and almost innocent, while red frilly knickers paired with some black hold ups and suspenders is reminiscent of a 1950’s pin up or burlesque star. It’s all in how you want to be perceived at that moment. And lovelier than the panties themselves is that you can own several colours and designs so that you can be anyone from the naughty-but-nice girl to the bad girl depending on your mood!

Frilly knickers are loved by gals worldwide, but when it comes to frilly knickers, the UK seems to be where they are causing the biggest stir. It’s funny when you hear about Brits being a conservative bunch when you consider that some of the most searched online terms are things like ‘sexy lingerie UK’ and yes, ‘Frilly knickers UK’. Conservative my frilly-knickers-clad tushy! What a sexy bunch. And speaking of frilly knickers UK, sassy popster Lily Allen was recently photographed wearing a tiny outfit that was a cross between and cat-suit and sailor suit with matching blue frilly knickers peeking out along with a whole lotta cheek! S-ass-y indeed!

One of the most gorgeous ways to wear your sexy frilly knickers is to pair them with something structured like a corset. The way the firm, boned corset offsets the pretty and oh so dainty frilly knickers looks amazing! It’s like hardnosed Dominatrix meets prissy school girl or something. You gotta love that! I love the look of lacy frilly pink knickers with a black satin corset because the opposites work so well and offer the most delicious contrast which results in some very nice eye candy for the one lucky enough to get to admire you in it. And, for those looking to really add some fun to their frilly knickers, I recommend some white frilly knickers, a black corset or bustier, a bow tie, top hat and bejewelled walking stick. How’s that for glam!
