Consider your outerwear What do you need in your underwear drawer? Mariela Rovito, president of Eberjey, suggests you consider what you wear. "French briefs, also known as boy shorts, are ideal to wear under skirts or jeans, but if you're wearing lightweight or formfitting pants, you'll definitely need a thong to eliminate visible panty lines. Traditional thongs work well, but lace boy thongs are much more flattering," she says. "If you want to wear a lower-cut blouse to work, try it with a higher-necked cami, which features double layering so you're not busting out!"
Separate "work" from "non-work" undergarments Work-friendly bras are discreet, flesh colored (not the color of the shirt you're wearing) and seamless. They cover breasts completely, are imperceptible under clothing and support you while not offering extra cleavage. Work-friendly undies are those that lie smoothly across your rear and offer full coverage — seamless boy-cut or hot pants styles are a good bet. After-work bras may allow for extra cleavage and come in every color of the rainbow. Go ahead, let them peek out or show through sheer fabric. After-work undies are those you may feel a sense of amusement, romanticism or whimsy wearing — maybe they have little bows or lace trimmings. Fanciful or racier underwear can be worn for work too, if indeed it lies clandestinely under clothing. For example, if you gravitate toward G-strings and thongs, it's fine to don them for work — just make sure the waistband isn't peeking out.
