Hip-hugger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hip-huggers are a style of pants worn by both men and women, generally made of denim and fitted tightly around the hips and thighs, while flaring out towards the lower leg.

Hip-huggers are worn in a variety of different styles, sometimes "riding" low (possibly intentionally) to expose the buttocks to varying degrees. There are also variations of hip huggers created with a material designed to stretch and tighter fitting stretch materials that vary in color. Hip-hugger jeans have been popular in the past during the 1960s and into the early 1980s. The hip-huggers of the 60s and 70s can be distinguished from those of the 90s by the tightness of the knee.

Hip-hugger jeans are not to be confused with Hip Hugger underwear, a form of female panties or swimwear that fit snugly around the hip reducing visible panty line.
