French Lingerie: The Perfect Silk-Lace Camisole

Ask anyone who has properly surveyed luxury lingerie for the best silk slips, and she will tell you: Carine Gilson. Pieced by hand in her Brussels workshop, each camisole receives a couturelike due diligence. The end result is a garment that, once slipped on, you might never want to take off. Wear it under a blazer, layer it year round, or pair it with barely nothing, as the French do.

Carine Gilson Sonia Silk & Lace Camisole, $770 at Net-a-Porter.
