Quick Answer
Choose the Shortie Brief for a classic 90s silhouette with ample back coverage and a higher leg cut. Choose the Hipster for a lower rise and a more minimal, everyday fit.
Coverage and Cut: The Main Difference
The Shortie Brief sits low on the waist but offers ample back coverage, thanks to a higher leg cut that creates that signature 90s shortie look. The Hipster, as its name suggests, sits on the hips with a lower rise, providing a more minimal silhouette that many find ideal for everyday wear.
If you prioritize full coverage and a cheeky yet modest look, the Shortie Brief's higher leg cut and ample back coverage will be more flattering. If you prefer a lower rise that sits below the natural waist and offers less fabric, the Hipster is the way to go.
Comfort and Fabric: The Shared Foundation
Both styles are made from TENCEL™ Modal fibers, which are naturally soft, smooth, and breathable. This fabric is designed for all-day wear, minimizing the need for adjustments and preventing wedgies—a common annoyance with other underwear styles.
The key difference in comfort comes down to personal preference: the Shortie Brief's higher leg cut may feel more secure for some, while the Hipster's lower rise might be less restrictive for others. Both are designed with a women-led design team that understands what bums want.
Shortie Brief vs Hipster: Trade-offs
- Back Coverage: Shortie Brief offers ample back coverage; Hipster offers less, making it more minimal. If you prefer more coverage, choose Shortie Brief.
- Leg Cut: Shortie Brief has a higher leg cut for a 90s look; Hipster has a standard leg cut that sits lower on the hips. Higher leg cut can feel more secure and prevent riding up.
- Rise: Shortie Brief sits low on the waist; Hipster sits on the hips, offering a lower rise. If you dislike underwear that sits at the natural waist, Hipster may be more comfortable.
