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?
