Last week, we shared the new complicated underwear trend that’s becoming a thing (as a hint, it resembles a G-string with extra details). Back on our lingerie browsing spree recently, we spotted another undergarment trend springing up among several brands. Let us explain "cage” undies to you. The term, coined by Victoria’s Secret, represents underwear with a crisscross detail typically placed in the backside that resembles a cage. After seeing this trend across several lingerie lines, I noticed the "cage” aspect can really range from a small detail to statement strap-like bands. In other words, there’s something for everyone, whether they want to go all-in or prefer to try something subtler for their first time dabbling with the trend.
Whether you’re looking to update your underwear drawer or simply curious about what the heck "cage” panties look like, everything you need to know and shop is right below. Keep scrolling to see the latest polarizing underwear style.
