PANTONE’s newest collaboration doesn’t just color outside the lines—it goes straight for your bottom line! The color authority has paired up with underwear and lingerie brand Hanky Panky to bring a splash of chromatic history to intimate apparel, celebrating 25 years of Color of the Year.
The spectrum of undies transforms Hanky Panky’s Signature Lace thong—dubbed the “World’s Most Comfortable Thong”—into a wearable timeline, starting with Cerulean from 2000 and ending with 2022’s Very Peri, 2023’s Viva Magenta, and 2024’s Peach Fuzz.
The styles, available in low-rise and original-rise fits, are a nod to the most unforgettable fashion highlights of the 2000s. Hanky Panky’s Signature Lace, touted for its flexibility and softness, is designed to complement the body’s natural movement, allowing wearers to feel both supported and sexy. In this journey through 25 years of color, wearers are invited to embrace past trends while expressing themselves in the present.
