Why do underwear have a small knot on the front? - Page 2

With the arrival of the elastic band in the 19th century, the fastener ribbons disappeared, but the knot remained. Why? Because it already symbolized femininity and elegance. He gradually lost his functional role to become a decorative element, adding a romantic touch to the underwear.

A detail that is still useful today

Even if we don't have to have our panties anymore, the little knot still keeps a discreet function:

A visual reference: On some symmetrical models, it allows the front of the back to be seen at a glance.
A nod to tradition: It recalls the elegance of the undersides of the past and perpetuates a touch of refinement.
An element of seduction: He brings a romantic and glamorous note to the lingerie, reinforcing his aesthetic appeal.
