WOMENS BOXER SHORTS SKIN
Bee Stuart, personal stylist and founder of QueerYorker, is another Commando convert, describing its bikinis (her favorite is the frillier Double Take) as luxe feeling even for everyday, showing off a hint of skin while offering full (comfortable) coverage. Stylist Jasmine Caccamo describes it as seamless, with a shape that works underneath both leggings and body-skimming silk dresses. When it came down to deciding which style to crown as our overall winner, we chose Commando’s bikini because the cut was pretty popular among the obsessives we talked to. “If you’ve ever wondered what the stars on the red carpet were wearing underneath those sheer, unforgiving gowns, the answer is almost certainly a pair of Commandos,” explains Alison Freer, costume designer and Strategist contributor. The label’s underwear was repeatedly praised for its, well, almost-gone-commando fit. Of all the labels that are popular with our panelists (keep in mind that we heard about just shy of 60 pairs), Commando was cited the most. Sizes XS–L/XL | Bikini, seamless edges | Cotton, elastane | $$$ Each of the picks is denoted as $ (under $15), $$ (under $25), or $$$ (over $25). Our focus, therefore, was on the undies that truly feel well worth it. Price: Even though almost all of us would consider underwear an essential, it isn’t always priced that way.
Since underwear is such a personal choice, there’s really no right answer to which material is best - but to help you, we’ve detailed the materials used in every recommendation. To make a panty more moldable to the body, some stretch (either elastane or spandex) will generally make an appearance on tags. For its airiness, mesh (usually manufactured from nylon) works as another popular textile. Modal is an alternative often seen in sustainable options since it’s biodegradable.
Cotton is a favorite for its breathability. Material: How a pair feels will depend on what it’s made from. Rise is another consideration - maybe you prefer a high-rise (à la “ My Calvins” ), low-rise, or something in the middle. Then there are the capitalized cuts, like the French cut that harks back to the Baywatch days of one-pieces, and the G-string, which is the next best thing to nothing at all. There’s the sisterhood of briefs, bikinis, and thongs from which others descend, such as the boyshort, hipster, and cheeky. Size inclusion was a big sticking point for us, and so we tried to highlight undergarments offered in a wider range of sizes.Ĭut: Whereas men’s underwear comes down to three main cuts (boxers, briefs, and boxer briefs), it’s the Wild West out there for women. Sizing: The intimates industry has a reputation of being exclusionary - though that’s slowly changing.
