The Everyday Essential That Feels Anything But Ordinary
There’s a reason high-leg knickers are one of the most flattering and best-loved styles in women’s underwear. Offering the perfect balance of style and comfort, this silhouette elongates the leg, supports the waist, and provides just the right amount of coverage. At British Boxers, we’ve refined the high-leg knicker to be as soft, comfortable, and beautiful as possible — whether in breathable cotton or ultra-soft bamboo.
Let’s talk about why this timeless cut deserves a prime spot in your underwear drawer.
The Flattering Fit That Works with Everything
High-leg knickers are designed with a higher cut on the thigh and a gentle rise on the waist, making them universally flattering across all body shapes. This silhouette naturally elongates the appearance of the legs and enhances your natural curves without cutting in or riding up. Whether you’re wearing jeans, a fitted dress, or lounging in joggers, high-leg knickers create a smooth, invisible line under your clothes — so you can move confidently through your day.
Unlike low-rise cuts that can feel too minimal, or full briefs that some find too traditional, high-leg knickers offer that sweet spot — stylish yet practical, sexy yet comfortable.
Softness You Can Feel All Day Long
British Boxers womens high-leg knickers come in two much-loved fabric options: 95% cotton with 5% elastane, and 95% bamboo with 5% elastane. Each offers its own unique benefits, but both are soft, breathable, and designed for everyday comfort.
Why Choose High-Leg?
While underwear is one of the most personal choices we make every day, it’s also the one that can transform how we feel — physically and emotionally. The high-leg cut is perfect for women who want:
A flattering silhouette under clothes
A breathable and comfortable fit
A style that blends practicality with subtle elegance
And whether you’re a loyal fan of cotton or curious to try bamboo, our knickers give you choice without compromising quality.
The cotton jersey option is fresh, lightweight, and cool against the skin — ideal for those who prefer natural fabrics with just a touch of stretch. The bamboo version takes softness to a new level. Bamboo fabric is often compared to silk or cashmere for its ultra-smooth feel, and it’s also naturally hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking. That means fewer irritations and better breathability — especially during warm weather or long days.
Whether you choose cotton or bamboo, both options are machine washable, hold their shape wash after wash, and stay soft over time.
If you run hot, experience irritation from synthetic fabrics, or are simply looking for something you’ll barely notice throughout the day, bamboo high-leg knickers are a dream. They’re thermoregulating, anti-bacterial, and naturally moisture-wicking — ideal for everyday wear, travel, summer heat, or just when you want that extra bit of softness. On the other hand, cotton knickers are the long-time favourite for good reason. They’re breathable, durable, and give you that crisp, fresh feel that’s perfect for daytime wear or sleep. And thanks to the little bit of elastane blended in, both fabrics move with you and maintain their fit without stretching out or sagging.
Designed for Comfort — No Gimmicks, No Fuss
Let’s address one detail that many women will appreciate: there’s no unnecessary bow on our high-leg knickers. We get it — not every pair of pants needs a dainty ribbon. At British Boxers, we believe great design should be simple, thoughtful, and wearable. Instead, each pair is finished with a contrast trim at the waist and a discreet British Boxers logo label, giving them a clean, modern look that feels both elevated and relaxed. These are knickers you’ll reach for again and again — not just because they look good, but because they feel right. Everyday Luxury in Sizes UK 8 to 18 Our high-leg knickers are available in sizes UK 8 to 18, because comfort should never be limited by size. The waistband provides gentle stretch without digging in, and the leg openings are cut to sit comfortably without riding up or cutting across the thigh. It’s a style that truly supports your body — and your day.
