In an ideal world, Adam Smith would have been a fashion designer instead of an economist and the ‘invisible hand’ would be a line of imperceivable lingerie that kept your assets secure. Instead, we have bra straps that migrate and VPL (visible panty lines) at every turn. Luckily, there are new fabrics and styles that stay hidden until you decide to show them.
Gap
Racer back bras have straps that stay put and out of sight when worn with sleeveless tops. Look for one in a smooth fabric to prevent lines under your clothes.
Maidenform
Originally called a ‘merry widow,’ these torsolettes are now known as ‘long line’ bras. Unlike traditional strapless bras, these stay in place, can be worn with backless tops and often come with removable straps.
Jockey
Of all the ‘no line’ dainties on the market, the ones by Jockey are my favorite. With a full range of styles, from briefs to string bikinis, they’re comfortable, affordable and invisible under skirts and pants.
