Learn how to choose the right boyshort fit and style the Inspired Eyelet Boyshort from b.tempt'd for comfort and everyday charm.

Quick Answer

For a comfortable and flattering boyshort fit, choose your usual panty size and prioritize the leg opening and fabric stretch. The Inspired Eyelet Boyshort from b.tempt'd offers a modest cut with delicate eyelet lace, making it a versatile everyday option.

Why Boyshort Fit Matters

A boyshort's fit depends on two key areas: the waistband and the leg openings. A waistband that digs in or rolls down ruins comfort, while leg openings that are too tight can cause irritation or visible lines. The Inspired Eyelet Boyshort features a scalloped edge detail that adds a feminine finish, but it also affects how the leg opening sits on your skin.

Because boyshorts cover more than a typical brief, the fabric and stretch play a bigger role in how they move with your body. The eyelet lace construction provides a textured look, but it also means the fabric has less give than a smooth knit. If you prefer a barely-there feel, you might choose a different style; if you want coverage with a pretty finish, this boyshort delivers.

How to Find Your Boyshort Fit and Style It

Measure your hips and waist: Use a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your hips and your natural waist. Compare these numbers to the b.tempt'd size chart. Boyshorts sit lower than briefs, so hip measurement is the most important. Your hip measurement, not your dress size, is the best starting point.
Choose your usual panty size: For most b.tempt'd styles, your regular panty size works. If you are between sizes, size up if you prefer a looser leg opening, especially because the eyelet fabric has less stretch. When in doubt, size up for comfort in the leg.
Check the leg opening: Before wearing, hold the boyshort against your thigh. The scalloped edge should sit flat without digging in or leaving marks. If it feels tight, try a size up or consider a different cut. Leg openings that are too tight can cause chafing, so test for comfort.
Style for everyday wear: Pair the Inspired Eyelet Boyshort with high-waisted jeans or a midi skirt. The modest coverage prevents visible panty lines, and the lavender hue adds a subtle pop of color. Avoid wearing it under very tight leggings if you prefer no lines. Choose bottoms with a bit of structure to let the boyshort shine.
Care for the lace: Hand wash in cold water with a gentle lingerie detergent, or use a mesh bag on a delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry to keep the eyelet lace and scalloped edges in shape. Proper care extends the life of the delicate fabric.
