Cool Shorts

Boy shorts are quickly becoming a preferred swimwear style for women of all ages. Even those sexy gals with perfect bikini bodies are opting for this more conservative style of swimwear. the boy short style is unique in that it gives significantly more coverage then most bikini bottom styles but is every bit as sexy.

So what is a Boy Short?

Boy short style bottoms can be either swimwear or lingerie. They are also known as boys’ cut panties, boy leg briefs or shorties. These names may sound masculine but this style of panty or swimwear is ultra feminine and sexy. the boy short can vary to some degree in its design but to be considered a true boy short it must maintain the basic boy brief look.

The boy-leg-brief style of panty or swimwear is designed with a longer leg and a lower riding waistline. the leg opening normally rests at the start of the thigh and the waistline is at or below the hip. this resembles a pair of men’s boxer shorts or boy briefs. They typically have a banded or belted top, and leg openings that lack gathered elastic. They come in various lengths, fabrics and colors. a lot like cheeky hot pants, but worn as lingerie or swimwear.

Why choose this style?

There are a few good reasons to make the switch from traditional bikini, thong or g-string bottoms to the short and sexy boy short. in the world of swimwear, the boy short has been gaining in popularity for the past few years due to the fact that the shorts are comfortable to wear, provide more coverage and are very sexy.

If the idea of wearing a skimpy bikini bottom is not an appealing thought a boy short could be your perfect solution. Because of the wider hip band and fuller rear coverage women who are sensitive about showing to much in public can still enjoy wearing a sexy two peace swimsuit.

I doesn’t matter if you are petite or plus sized, this style is ideal for covering problem areas of the body. For example, many women with stretch marks on their lower torso love the higher waist, belted style because of its ability to conceal. By carefully selecting the boy short style best suited for your particular body type or perceived flaws, you can look and feel beautiful on the beach or pool side.

Mix and Match Tops and Bottoms.

One of the great things about boy shorts is that you can wear them with anything you like. with so many swimwear stores now selling bikini tops and bottoms as separates as well as sets, you can pair your boy shorts with a wide variety of different tops.

Make sure it fits properly

These panties fit beautifully on women of all shapes and sizes when selected properly. Proper fit is an absolute must when choosing any style of swimwear. You don’t want to spend your summer vacation tugging and pulling at your bathing suit or holding in your stomach every time someone looks in your direction. Also, a waist band that is too tight can create the dreaded muffin top look that should be avoided at all cost.

Want it a little more cheeky?

If you are in love with the look and feel of the traditional boy short cut panty or swimwear bottom, but would like it to be a little more revealing, try a tanga. the tanga is often referred to as the Brazilian cousin of the boy short. it has nearly all the same characteristics of the boy cut but with a higher cut in the rear area giving it a much cheekier look. the tanga comes in numerous levels of rear exposure. From a moderate style that just barely shows the cheek area to the ultra sexy mini tanga that is basically a g-string or thong style bottom as viewed from the back.
