I firmly believe shopping is not the same experience from one person to the next. Everyone has different priorities and challenges when it comes to building their wardrobe. Searching for the perfect pair of jeans or comfortable sandals may feel arduous for some and joyous for others. Whatever the case, shopping is a very individualized experience, especially when you're shopping for undergarments.

While everyone's experience, needs, budget, and style differs, there's no denying that building a strong capsule wardrobe takes time. Even for lingerie lovers, it can be overwhelming to identify the best places to shop and what's worth investing in. To make the process easier, you have to be willing to try different types of underwear (e.g., thongs, classic bikinis, and boxers) to see which works best for you. One style is almost foolproof: cheeky-cut panties.

Characterized by a narrow cut of fabric across the backside that provides more coverage than a thong but less than a bikini, this style has become known for its balance between functionality and design. It's no surprise that this style is beloved by women everywhere, and we've got the receipts to prove it. While this has long been a popular style, this cut has provided big business for Skims. The Fits Everybody Cheeky Brief is consistently a best seller for Kim Kardashian's lingerie empire, and it's currently available in 14 colorways.

Below, we rounded the best pairs of cheeky underwear from across the internet from the likes of Skims, Eres, Savage X Fenty, and more. We considered reviews, price points, materials, functionality, and originality of design to ensure these really are the best of the best, so make room in your dresser because upgrading your everyday lingerie has never been easier.
