A hipster sits lower on the body than a bikini brief — on the hips rather than just below the waist — but still provides full coverage at the rear. The leg openings are cut straight or slightly scooped, and the waistband is usually wider and flatter than a bikini brief.
Hipsters were a defining silhouette of the low-rise jeans era of the early 2000s and remain popular as an everyday comfort style.
