The “airy” pair also served her well during a bachelorette trip to Vegas when she wore them beneath a mesh dress that was a “tad see-through.” Strategist senior editor Jen Trolio owns several pairs she rebuys them for their “unbeatable” price and minimal look (“I’m extremely averse to logos on my underwear,” she says). These also come in a colorful crossover version, if you like a lower rise in the front. Strategist junior writer Brenley Goertzen likes that the ultraflattering waistband can be lowered for less coverage or moved up for more. In addition to being soft and lightweight, they have a mid-rise, low-cut hip and full bum coverage that Chan considers to be the perfect silhouette - one that’s not always easy to find with the high-rise, high-hip cuts popular these days. Although the boybrief is available in only two colors (a nude called “sand” and black), Lauren Chan, founder of plus-size womenswear company Henning, owns about 20 of them. But it’s the Real Me boybrief, which sits at the intersection of a brief and boyshort, that really caught our eye. Former Strategist senior writer Karen Iorio Adelson wrote that her Real Me thongs are “comfortable all day, stay in place, and provide full front coverage.” Because Aerie has a “ seven for $30” deal, you can usually buy all the Real Me styles in bulk for cheap. Sizes: XXS–XXL | Cut: Brief-boyshort, mid-rise | Material: Nylon, elastane | Price: $Īerie’s Real Me underwear line is much-loved among Strategist staffers. Although the elastane blended with the cotton makes for a super-stretchy fit, I’m not pulling at these - or shifting around to keep them in place. It’s so barely there - I couldn’t see any lines from the bikini no matter how much I looked (including my most leaves-little-to-the-imagination pants). This ultrasmooth cotton panty might be the best of all the undies Commando sent me to try out so far (I’ll be reporting back soon about the rest). Bee Stuart, a personal stylist and the founder of QueerYorker, is another Commando convert, describing its bikinis as luxe-feeling even for every day, showing off a hint of skin while offering full (comfortable) coverage her favorite style is the frillier Double-Take. Stylist Jasmine Caccamo describes them as seamless with a shape that easily works underneath body-skimming clothing. “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, a costume designer and Strategist contributor. The label’s underwear was repeatedly praised for its right-there-in-the-name, almost-gone-commando fit. But in the making of this guide, we heard about Commando the most (and just shy of 60 pairs were discussed). I know, I know: $36 makes for a pricey panty.
