The brief in all its forms — mini, Brazilian, high-waist, mid-waist, open. Bought as a single considered purchase or in multiples because the right pair is worth having more than once. From the houses that understand that fit and fabric are the whole point.
Maison Close brings the same precision to its briefs as to everything it makes. Lise Charmel's French lace engineering sits beautifully against the body. Atelier Amour works in sheer fabrics and delicate embroidery with quiet directness. Bracli's pearl-strung styles remain in a category entirely their own. Aubade's Boîte à Désir offers the kind of considered sensuality the house has always done well. Coco de Mer edits with a discerning eye.
