Poll: Are High-Waisted Panties Chic And Retro Or Dowdy And Outdated?

Full coverage isn't just for period panties anymore. When we opened the current issue of Marie Claire with Ashley Olsen on the cover, we were a little shocked to see her wearing granny panties -- and making them look good. High-waisted briefs made the August cover of German Vogue, too. Then, while browsing for underwear online, we noticed that Hanky Panky has a few retro styles featuring a significant amount of fabric compared to their very tiny signature thongs. Has the understated sexiness of "Mad Men" rubbed off on the underwear business? For years, it's been "less is more" when it comes to undies, but now you might be able to find a pair that actually covers your butt and makes you feel sexy. But do they look like they belong in your grandmother's underwear drawer?

Crave: Retro Sailor Suit

Retro Sailor Swimsuit

Buying a swimsuit in February? Are we crazy? Well, yes, but that’s another story. It’s easier to get through the chilly winter months with a new bathing suit in our closet, reminding us summer will return. This winter we’re smitten with this retro sailor swimsuit, which is just so campy with those anchor buttons, it’s adorable. One pieces may not have the prevailing reputation for being sexy, but it’s all in the halter top front and the exposed back. One caveat: you have to be small- to medium-boobed to pull of a halter without looking totally boobalicious! [$124.99, ModCloth.com]

Cover Your Walls In Fishnet Wallpaper

Fishnet Wallpaper

I adore this fishnet-style wallpaper designed by Jon Sherman and created by Flavor Paper. The hand-printed paper’s pattern is composed of the stockinged legs of retro ladies, and old school bustiers and panties decorate the squares where the design crisscrosses. The available colors are hot: fireball, gold, electric raspberry, and licorice. Unfortunately, at $150 for a 27” x 15’ roll, this may not be the perfect wall covering for die-hard recessionistas. But can’t a girl splurge everywhere once in a while? [Cool Hunting]
