Classic or modern cut
Short answer: A classic cut sits looser and lies calmly, while a modern cut is closer fitting and shaped to the body. Choose by where you will wear the clothes and how you want them to sit.
What a classic cut means
A classic cut often has a little more room, a higher waist and a longer length. The clothes do not follow the body closely, but fall softly and give freedom of movement. That is pleasant if you want calm, and it hides small irregularities in the fit. Classic cuts also stay smart over many seasons, because they do not follow a particular trend.
What a modern cut means
A modern cut sits closer to the body, with narrower legs, shorter lengths or a lower waist. It gives a more defined silhouette and suits those who prefer a streamlined feel. For clothes worn under other clothes, such as underwear, a close cut is often practical because it does not bunch. See bamboo panties, which come in different cuts, so you can choose what suits you.
Fit in practice
What matters most is that the clothes fit well, whatever the cut. They should not pinch, leave marks or ride up. Try both a classic and a modern cut and notice what feels best when you sit, stand and walk. If you are torn between two sizes, think about whether you prefer looser or closer. See bamboo bodysuit, where fit matters especially, because the garment follows the body.
Under clothes and in everyday life
Under other clothes, the garment should be smooth and thin so that it does not show. Modern cuts often suit better here, because they do not make the clothes on top look thick. In everyday life at home a classic cut is pleasant, because you can move freely. Many have both: close under a smart outfit and looser in leisure time. It depends on what you use the clothes for.
Trends and timelessness
Modern cuts follow the trends of the time and can look dated after some years. Classic cuts last longer, because they are not tied to a period. If you want clothes that can be used for many years, a classic cut can be a safe investment. If you like to change, a modern cut is more fun.

Our recommendation by situation
Choose a classic cut if you want calm, room and clothes that last. Choose a modern cut if you want close fitting clothes under other clothes or like a defined silhouette. Try both and choose by what you actually wear. Fit and comfort matter more than trends, and a good cut is one you forget you are wearing.
