While, culturally, Canadians have started to embrace the European style of showing a little bit of bra, sometimes you just want a smooth, even finish. Enter the T-shirt bra—a lightweight, seamless bit of confidence on days when you want to know you’ve got everything covered.
Recently, Vancouver lingerie mainstay Diane’s invited us to test-drive their new T-shirt bra collection, and we’ve been living in our Marty balconette bra from Marie Jo ($140). The Marty is a sweetly classic white bra with molded cups, French eyelet embroidery, and glossy spaghetti straps for discrete everyday luxury. We love the delicate details, which add a bit of playfulness without showing through your shirt.
Another winner for a simple summer bra that beats the heat—and the bra lines—is Marie Jo’s new Undertones line ($131) in Glossy Pink and Patine (an elegant update on the colour formerly known as Nude). These luxe, stretch microfibre bras add a little lift while creating a natural round shape. They fit like a second skin, and you’ll love the skin you’re in. —Kelsey Klassen

Women who, in the fitting room, confided they didn’t have their now sizeable breasts before menopause. Women who wondered what the heck happened to the magnificent breasts they once […]
