Leg Avenue Seamless Boyshorts

The quiet workhorse of the drawer. Seamless boyshorts are cut with no side seam to line up and no edge to print through, which is why they end up being the pair you reach for on the days nobody is going to see them and the nights when somebody is.

The short cut means they wear well on their own, layer straight over hosiery when a fishnet needs a base, and sit invisibly under a dress that shows every line. They are also the practical half of a lingerie drawer full of impractical things, and they travel without wrinkling. Black and white are both in stock in One Size. Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry, or run them through a delicates bag if you are honest about your habits.

Most basics in this category are sold on price alone and lose their stretch in a month. These hold their shape through a wash cycle, and the seamless construction is the reason they disappear under clothing instead of announcing themselves.
