Compare the Zimmerli Pureness slip and hipster on fabric, fit, and sizing. Find out which modal underwear style matches your everyday comfort needs.
Quick answer
Choose the sky blue slip if you prefer a second-skin feel with a close, temperature-regulating fit and are willing to size up. Choose the white modal hipster if you want a body-hugging cut with a glossy elastic waistband and no leg bands, and you can stick to your usual size.
Fabric and construction: what changes against your skin
Both styles rely on micromodal for softness and breathability, but the slip is made from a sustainable micromodal blend and hand-sewn in Switzerland, while the hipster uses a micromodal and elastane mix. That difference matters less in daily wear than the finishing: the slip is designed as a close, second-skin layer, whereas the hipster skips extra bands at the leg openings and relies on the fabric’s stretch for hold.
If you are sensitive to seams or bands, the hipster’s band-free leg openings may feel lighter. If you prefer a more uniform, contained feel, the slip’s construction is the closer match.
Sizing and fit: the practical trade-off
The slip runs close enough that Zimmerli recommends ordering one size larger if you are between sizes. The hipster is described as body-hugging and close-fitting, with no such sizing note. That means the slip asks you to adjust your usual size, while the hipster is more likely to match your standard size.
Consider how you want the waistband to feel: the hipster’s elastic band has a slight sheen and sits flat, while the slip’s fit is more about all-over stretch. Neither is loose, so if you prefer a relaxed cut, both are the wrong starting point.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Fit priority: second-skin vs. band-free: The slip delivers a close, contained feel; the hipster offers a body-hugging fit without leg bands. Pick the slip if you want more overall compression, the hipster if you prefer fewer edges.
- Sizing effort: size up vs. usual size: The slip may require going one size up; the hipster is designed to fit true to size. If you want a no-guess purchase, the hipster is the simpler choice. Check the size chart for the slip before ordering.
- Waistband feel: smooth stretch vs. glossy elastic: The slip’s waistband is part of the stretch fabric; the hipster has a distinct elastic band with a slight shine. Choose based on whether you prefer an uninterrupted feel or a defined band.
