Women's Briefs

Shopping around for women’s brief underwear? With their comfortable fit and endless array of designs, colors and prints, women’s briefs are true classics that deserve space in any undie drawer.

There’s a place where you can find all kinds of brief panties for women: at Macy’s. From simple cotton panties to wear anytime, lace versions delicate enough for a bridal trousseau or plus size brief underwear designed to fit up to size 4X, they’re all available right here.

We’ve got some tips below that will help you figure out what to look for when buying brief-style underwear. Let’s get to it now!

Cotton Comfort Comes First

If you’re looking for panties in a natural fiber with optimal breathability, plain cotton briefs are your best bet. You’ll find them in silhouettes with high rises (up by the belly button) to low rises (down on the hips).

Cotton briefs for women are also available in both high-cut and low-cut leg silhouettes. Can’t remember which is which? Low-cut briefs have leg openings further down, though still higher than boyshorts. High-cut briefs expose more leg and a bit of hip, too.

Consider Your Clothing

It’s important to choose women’s briefs that suit the type of clothes you’ll be wearing on any given day.

Seamless styles are ideal for tight skirts and pants since they sidestep unsightly visible panty lines. Underneath fitted dresses, brief panties with shaping panels offer control where you need it. And for anything goes clothing like shorts and jeans—pick whichever pair of briefs you like the best.

Dial Up the Style

Want to spice up your lingerie drawer? Start with women’s briefs that feature stretch-lace waistbands, or opt for bold hues like pink, purple, teal and turquoise. When you’re ready to level up from there, try sheer mesh or lace briefs. These daring styles go way beyond basic but still wear comfortably all day.

If you prefer your lingerie to “go together,” pick out women’s briefs and bras in matching fabric to make perfectly coordinated sets.

Underwear for Every Body

Whether you’re in need of a single pair of cool microfiber briefs or cotton multi-pair packs, stock up on women’s briefs at Macy’s.
