I Live In These Sheer Underwear & Bralettes—& Love That They’re On Sale

Super Sale Alert: Get 30% off all seamless sheer bralettes and underwear at EBY, now through September 18, no promo code needed.

Many of us are on a constant search for the best bra, and it feels like that often means having a “best bra” for every category occasion. “Bra that looks cute” can often be a totally separate category from “bra that looks good under my cute clothes,” or “bra I can just wear around the house.” But we have just uncovered a bralette that manages to tick multiple elusive boxes. We’re here to put you on the best bralettes and underwear that are *sheer* perfection.

EBY, the intimates brand with comfort-first, size-inclusive products (including the Only Bra, which I previously reviewed and loved) offers a selection of sheer underwear and bralettes that we think should be on your radar. And right now, you can try them for less. During the Sheer Elegance Event, Eby underwear and bralettes from the Seamless Sheer Collection are on sale for 30% off. There’s really no better time to cart them up and try them out for yourself.

Read on to learn more about Eby’s seamless sheer intimates (that have already sold out 10 times before!) and my own review of the products. Then prepare to get your credit card out and buy them while the sale lasts until September 18.

Seamless Sheer Bralettes ($50 $35), Highwaisted Underwear ($23 $16.10) & Briefs ($21 $14.70)

Eby’s Seamless Sheer Collection includes V-neck bralettes, high-waisted bottoms, and mid-rise briefs in a range of classic neutrals, decadent color combos, and a couple of flirty prints. Each piece is made from stretchy and supportive mesh and features a seamless slip-proof fabric along the edges that all come together to provide a no-show feel and look under clothes.

When it comes to sizing for the sheer bralettes, you can input your typical bra band and cup size and Eby will give you a letter size that fits. The current size offerings across all colors are between XS and XLDD, or up to a 40E. Meanwhile, both the sheer high-waisted and brief underwear styles are available in sizes XS through 4X. Some colorways are also available as matching sets for a lower price.

No binding, pinching, or bulging. The fabric feels divine, and I no longer spend all day fiddling straps that don’t stay in place.

Seamless Sheer Bralette ($50 $35) & High Cut Highwaisted Underwear ($23 $16.10) in Cabernet

I’ve been able to try several colorways of EBY’s seamless sheer bralette as well as the high-waisted bottoms, briefs, and a (low-stock!) thong. And I have thoughts. Good thoughts. I got a size large in all of them, and they fit perfectly. (I typically wear a 36C in bras and L in underwear.) The seamless bralettes have become my go-to for wearing around the house (and even to sleep sometimes in lieu of a shirt on hot, humid nights) and under oversized tops.

I love that I’ve found a bralette that isn’t too tight or too loose, doesn’t dig into me shoulders or torso, doesn’t cause visible bra lines, and still manages to offer some lift and comfortable compression. I’m also happy to report that the mesh is super soft, much like the slip-proof fabric that has a velvety finish.

Extremely comfortable. It’s as if I’m not wearing anything at all.

Gabrielle E., Eby Customer About Sheer Underwear

The same is also true for the underwear, which I’m surprised actually don’t roll down throughout the day or cause miserable wedgies. It also surprised me that the high-waisted cut was my favorite, but it’s true. It’s super comfortable and flattering. Another pro for me is the non-sheer crotch panel in all the styles. I don’t think I’d be comfortable going fully sheer, and the extra protection is comforting and much appreciated.

Eby’s sheer underwear and bralettes have become a staple for me this summer, and I know I’ll continue wearing them throughout the year when I need a no-fuss intimates set that makes me feel good. In the search of the perfect bra, there’s really little more that you can ask for.

8 Jewelry Trends That Will Ensure You Shine Bright In 2023

If your outfits aren’t making you smile, it might be time to update your accessories collection. At least that’s what Shopbop fashion director Caroline Maguire believes, based on what customers are adding to their carts right now. The sartorial vibe for 2023’s jewelry trends, it seems, is happy, and nothing guarantees a good time like a bit of sparkle.

“Overall, we’re seeing a need for fun and functional styles that can be worn daily,” Maguire says. The right piece of jewelry in particular, she adds, can be just the thing to put the fun in functional. Think: a rule-breaking pair of earrings or a mood-boosting pop of color to decorate an otherwise-simple ensemble.

If bright hues and bold statement pieces aren’t quite right for your personal style, don’t fret. There is no one-size-fits-all answer in the jewelry department, and that has never been truer than for this season’s other top trend: barely there baubles that make a case for a less-is-more mentality.

Below, we’ve rounded up eight trending jewelry styles for the minimalist, the maximalists, and everyone in between.

Jewelry Trend 2023: Not Your Grandma’s Pearls

Pearls aren’t going anywhere (thank you, Harry Styles). But with the turn of each season comes a slew of interesting new ways to wear them, so we’re predicting even bolder, even better takes on the trend are in store for us all. We’re talking unusual shapes, architectural embellishments, and materials that are anything but traditional — the kind of pearls that’ll have granny clutching hers.

Jewelry Trend 2023: Barely There Baubles

Considering the hashtag #nonecklacetrend has over 5.6 million views on TikTok, some would argue that the biggest jewelry trend right now is, well, no jewelry at all. However, if stepping out without even the slightest something feels to you like leaving the house naked, consider a barely there alternative instead. From chains so thin they’re almost translucent to “sweet nothing rings,” these styles are a minimalist’s dream.

Jewelry Trend 2023: Kid-Friendly

According to Maguire, finding an accessory that can add a pop of color and happiness to your look is key for the seasons ahead. “Shoppers are loving bright and festive charmed jewelry right now!” she says, pointing to brands like Vanessa Arizaga and Lauren Rubinksi as coveted examples. You could even borrow from the little ones in your life. Sharing is caring, after all.

Jewelry Trend 2023: Mixed Media

For an aesthetic that’s fit for maximalists and the indecisive alike, look no further than the mixed-media trend. Instead of choosing between pearls and silver, resin and rose gold, or whatever other materials set your sartorial heart aflutter, opt for a piece that combines them all at once. Break the rules. Mix those metals. The limit does not exist.

Jewelry Trend 2023: Flower Power

From birth flowers to Carrie Bradshaw-approved rosettes, the appeal of floral details is strong, especially with spring now here. Big or small, bright or subdued, there’s no wrong way to rock this floral-forward trend.

Jewelry Trend 2023: Statement Silver

Since silver metallics and aluminum-like materials are all the rage thanks to their party-ready shine and futuristic feel, the trend has found its way into jewelry boxes, too. A statement silver piece adds an undoubtedly stylish touch to your ensemble and is the next best thing to wearing actual foil.

Jewelry Trend 2023: Cuffs

In quintessential Y2K style, cuffs are back. A ubiquitous staple from decades past, this chunky accessory is the sweetest kind of arm candy no matter where on your appendage you choose to wear it (hint: upper arm cuffs are also cool).

Jewelry Trend 2023: Tennis Necklaces

Classic jewelry trends don’t ever go out of fashion, but each season one style among them tends to shine a bit brighter than the rest. Right now, it’s the tennis necklace that’s stealing the spotlight, and when real diamonds are out of the question (and by question we mean budget), lab-grown pieces from brands like Dorsey are an increasingly popular choice. Plus, there are always Cubic Zirconia styles to get the look without breaking the bank.

7 Shoe Trends To Up Your Footwear Game In 2023

If your fall wardrobe calls for a seasonally appropriate update, the best place to start is from the bottom. Solid style choices begin with a fashionable foundation, so what better way to step into a series of fresh ensembles this year than in one of the biggest shoe trends of 2023? 

Maybe you’re contemplating a pair of sneakers to kick things off but have no idea if something dad-approved, chunky, or classic white is the way to go. Perhaps you’re in need of a trusty boot but are unsure if it should land above, below, or right around the knee. Toiling over whether or not giant platform heels are really worth the inevitable tumble? 

Ahead, we’ve got answers to all these questions and more. And while the best fashion trends will always be whichever ones are worthy of your very own style moodboard, let this be an accessory guide for what the sartorial savants are adopting this year, should you wish to follow in their footsteps.

Shoe Trend 2023: Mary-Janes

The appeal of preppy attire has yet to fade, but when it comes to the aesthetic’s favored shoe style, don’t settle for a plain old Mary Jane. The latest twist on this trend takes the classic silhouette up a notch, sometimes even literally with chunky soles and sky-high heels. Think: luxe fabrics, bold patterns, multiple straps, and pearly embellishments.

Shoe Trend 2023: Knee-High Boots

In the same way skirt hems are (somewhat) believed to rise and fall with stock prices, certain boot lengths are favored over others depending on the mood of each season. Not as low as a bootie but not as tall as its over-the-knee counterpart, the knee-high boot is the perfect in-between option no matter what color, fabric, or heel you pair it with.  

Shoe Trend 2023: Magenta

Pantone revealed Viva Magenta to be the official color of 2023, meaning a magical melange of crimson red, hot pink, fuchsia, raspberry, and maroon will be making its way into our closets in the form of one bright, bold hue. There’s no wrong way to wear this mood-enhancing hue, which can give everything from sneakers and flats to heels an extra punch. 

Shoe Trend 2023: Fancy Flats

As much as platform soles are having a moment right now, so, too, are flats, from ballerina styles to the pointy-toed tips that were peak Y2K. But don’t confuse these flats for commuter shoes, because what they lack in height they make up for in sparkle. These are fancy flats fit for dance floors and fabulous fêtes. 

Shoe Trend 2023: Moto Boot

Biker fashion is officially in thanks to motorcycle-inspired everything on the spring/summer 2023 runways. There were buckles and gloves and leather galore, with protective pants and moto jackets cementing the aesthetic as a style staple. You don’t need to be racing to appreciate what the trend can add to your fall wardrobe, and dipping your toe in with a chunky boot is a good place to start. 

Shoe Trend 2023: Bow Ties

As much as we love chic suiting, this dazzling trend has nothing to do with tuxedos. Instead, think of your feet as gifts to be wrapped, your toes as tiny presents you can tie right up in a bow. That’s the signature look of up-and-coming brands like Mach & Mach, founded in 2017 by a pair of Tbilisi-based sisters who are on their way to having their biggest year yet. 

Shoe Trend 2023: Hybrid Sneakers

What happens when you cross the always-cool sneaker silhouette with a practical hiking shoe? Believe it or not, you get an ultra-trendy hybrid model that can take you from outdoor excursions to indoor reservations — no footwear change required.
