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

The ads for feminine hygiene products are laughable. I don’t know about you, but when I’ve got my period, the last thing I want to do is put on a white bathing suit and go horseback riding. Heck, I don’t even want to do that when it’snotthat time of the month. During my moon time, […]
I’d be wealthy if I had a dollar every time a customer said they needed a black and beige bra. Why do some women limit themselves to the most basic coloured undies when they could be wearing bras and panties in a veritable rainbow of colours that will lift them in more ways than one? […]
