Inside Out
I really like the is-it-lingerie-or-is-it-not style principle that's the crux of stylist-turned-designer Victoria Bartlett's line, VPL (an acronym for Visible Panty Line). It's refreshing to see a fashion brand that doesn't take itself too seriously, and while the concept is kind of cheeky, the execution is still very sharp and sophisticated. I bought one of her tops last year and can vouch for its lounge-worthy comfort. The cotton it's made out of is softer than most of my T-shirts that have already been through the wash 50 times, and though the cut is very lean, it's also very forgiving. I've been looking to add another VPL piece to my closet, and this black and navy breaker tank I just spotted on Hejfina's site is definitely next.
