English term or phrase: hipster briefs
Bonsoir,

Toujours dans la description de vêtements, je me retrouve avec "hipster briefs". Je pensais à "slip hippie". Est-ce correct ou y a-t-il un autre terme ?

Contexte simplifié : "Triangle cups bikini set [...] matched with low cut hipster briefs with string tie to the sides."

Merci pour vos suggestions.

agree  emiledgar: Or maybe it's "slip branché"...never seen 'hipster' used to mean 'cut low on the hips' but that must be it given the context.

  -> Thanks! Lots of ghits for 'hipster briefs', although I'd hate to encourage excessive browsing for women's underwear and beachwear :-)
