Even though boyshorts and hiphuggers seem very similar, there is a subtle difference. Boyshorts cover more skin and really do look like shorts — though we probably wouldn’t recommend wearing them out of the house.

So who is the boyshorts wearer? Don’t say tomboy, warns Rygorsky. “Boyshorts are flirty and sassy, just like the girl who wears them.” Not only does this panty type love going out, but she’s not afraid to get active and have fun. “This girl wouldn’t mind dancing around in her undies like Cameron Diaz in ‘Charlie’s Angels,'” says Rygorsky. Someone better turn on that music.
