Seamless Underwear: An Edit for Every Outfit
Seamless underwear is underwear made without visible seams, bulky elastics or stitched edges, so nothing shows through clothing.
It is the piece that lets an outfit work. A fitted knit, a silk slip, a sheer shirt or a backless dress all depend on what sits underneath.
This edit brings together three layers. Everyday seamless pieces from Else Nano. Invisible shapewear from Bye Bra. And adhesive solutions for the outfits that leave nowhere for a strap to go.
Everyday seamless underwear: Else Nano
For every day, the Else Nano collection is the place to start. Else is the cult LA lingerie label, made in Europe, and Nano is its most pared back collection.
Each piece is cut from Else's supremely soft microfibre. There is no lace at the waistband, and seams are hidden for a clean line. A single row of zig-zag stitching is the only detail.
Else Nano Soft Bralette. Wire-free, with double-lined cups and more support than the silhouette suggests. The plunge sits low enough for wider and lower necklines. A narrow backband, hook and eye closure and adjustable straps.
Else Nano Everyday Thong. A sleek, invisible profile in the same soft microfibre. The piece you reach for without thinking.
Else Nano Everyday Brief. Mid-rise, with full seat coverage. Everyday underwear, made well.
Wear them under a fitted tee, a fine knit or a silk shirt. Nothing shows. Pair the bralette with one or two bottoms, and the bottoms are reduced at checkout.
Invisible shapewear: Bye Bra
When an outfit needs a smoother line, Bye Bra's invisible pieces add light control without visible panty lines. Bye Bra is a shapewear label from Belgium, built around solutions for the outfits that are hardest to dress under.
Seams and stitching are minimised with laminated finishes, so the edges lie flat against the body.
Bye Bra Invisible High Waist Thong and Invisible High Waist Brief. Medium control in a soft, lightweight fabric. For fitted skirts, tailored trousers and knit dresses.
Bye Bra Sculpting High Waist Thong, Brief and Short. Strong control through the waist, tummy and seat. Silicone strips keep each piece in place.
Bye Bra Low Back Mid Waist Thong, Brief and Short. Light sculpting with a lowered back, for open-back dresses.
Bye Bra Short Sleeve Bodysuit and Long Sleeve Bodysuit. A seamless foundation layer that sits smoothly under anything.
What to wear under tricky outfits
For backless, strapless and plunging outfits, an adhesive bra or a low-back solution replaces a bra entirely. The right one depends on the neckline, the back and the support you need.

Getting the most from body tape. Apply to clean, dry skin with no oil or moisturiser. The Pre-Taping Adhesive Spray helps tape stay in place for longer. The Adhesive Remover, made from natural oils, lifts it gently at the end of the night.
