You may have noticed some posts from our friends at the Strategist on the Cut. They’ll be dropping in every now and again, sharing their expertise on the basics you don’t have time to research and the weird and wonderful things you don’t yet know you need.
If, these days, one sweep of your underwear drawer unveils an embarrassment of riches (with the emphasis on embarrassment), it might be time to replace those college-era pairs with new ones. According to writer, Girls of a Certain Age–helmer, and Lucky founding editor Kim France, OnGossamer’s mesh bikinis may be the only new style you need: “I have a hard time understanding why anybody wears anything else,” France told us of the underwear she can’t live without. “It is so far and away the perfect underwear: superlight, highly breathable, and — most important — hugely VPL-resistant. My underwear drawer is the most boring place in the world, because all I have are dozens of pairs of the same thing.” Right now, the normally $20 bikinis are on sale at Zappos, with this pretty “rose water” shade discounted by a not insignificant 40 percent. Other colors are also on sale (though not as steeply), so you can pick up a week’s worth for far less than you would normally pay.
