Hot or Not: "Granny Panty" Bottoms

Posted by Hafsa | Tuesday November 30, 201017 comments

We thought it a bit odd seeing shorts bearing an unfortunate resemblance to the dreaded Granny Panty on trend-conscious celebs...

Sienna Miller, Rihanna, Katy Perry

...and we dismissed it as a Gaga-esque trend we hoped we'd never see again-- that is, until we spotted the shorts on models walking the catwalk during the Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Week!

Elie Tahari, Jeremy Scott, Project Runway Season 8 Winner Gretchen Jones

Could this be on its way to becoming a bona fide trend during spring and summer of next year? If you're interested, here are a few pieces we spotted online...

Urban Outfitters Pleasure Doing Business RicRac Shorts US$178, Stolen Girlfriends Club Cableknit Shorts US$138
Topshop Gem Covered Knicker Shorts US$50, Topshop Seventies Style Shiny High Waisted Shorts US$55, Savant Embroidered Silk Hot Pants US$250

Would you could you like this trend?

Yeeesh!!! Gross!! :( Why would anyone want to wear granny panties at all, let alone on top of tights, in public!?!? I'm totally there with mamaluv, only reason for such pants is to hold in what i can't suck in...and even that is only for me to know! jeez...

Who's setting these trends?? Wearing underwear on top of tights, hmm sounds like some superhero i know. Also sounds like Captain Underpants lol

I like what Katy Parry is wearing. Its cute but I wouldn't be able to wear that in public, maybe if i was part of a show or dance group. I don't think this trend is going to last, like mamaluv said "its for gut n butt".

There is only one reason for such pants, and that is for gut 'n butt support under my clothing. I would never wear this trend as a fashion statement!
