While underwear comes in a variety of styles and cuts, most knickers usually feature a small bow at the front, but it turns out that they serves as more than decoration.

"The little bow is where you tied that ribbon, and of course, it's in the front because that's the easiest place to do something like that."
Someone else seconded this explanation, adding: "Originally the idea came from pre-elastic days when you had to tie it. Same for ballet flats. Ballet shoes that dancers wear tie in the front so ballet flats mimic that sometimes."
As you might expect, the bow has also been used to
