October 2026 Pick — The Best Fashion and Jewelry Advent Calendars, The Strategist
New York Magazine's The Strategist added the Hanky Panky 25 Days of Low Rise Thongs Advent Calendar to its 2026 roundup of the best fashion and jewelry advent calendars.
25 Days of Low Rise Thongs Advent Calendar
What to Know
Our 25 Days of Low Rise Thongs Advent Calendar holds 25 Signature Lace Low Rise Thongs, one behind every door from December 1 to Christmas. It's $660. It's for anyone who wants an advent calendar full of things she'll actually wear, not another box of samples she'll use up by January.
Why The Strategist Picked It
Strategist writer Brenley Goertzen, who covers clothing basics, added Hanky Panky to the list in her October 28, 2026 update. She's a fan herself:
"I'm a longtime wearer of these lacy Hanky Panky low-rise thongs that don't dig in."
She also pointed to another devotee, Barbara Corcoran, who told The Strategist she loves the range of colors: "it's like a lace crayon box when you open your drawer." As Goertzen put it, "Now you'll have 25 options to choose from."
