Jewelry designer Alison Lou and sleepwear designer Morgan Lane collaborated on a collection of undergarments titled the 'Emojis of the Week' panty set. These expressive panties detail the kind of emotions each day brings to its wearer.
The Emojis of the Week panty set features seven silk panties that are representative of the seven days of the week. Each panty comes with its own day of the week heading as well as an emoji motif best associated with that particular day. While the blue 'Saturday' panty is decorated with the dreamy heart-eyed emoji, the white 'Monday' undergarment is branded with the weeping emoji. The panties are sold in a bikini style and include seven different colors which range from crimson red to plum.
While they may seem like a novelty item, these panties are pop-culture themed and illustrate millennials' love of text and social media emoticons.
