G-String Bras Are the New Lingerie Trend Taking Hold
Step aside, string bikinis and thongs—bras want in on the dental floss action too. Lately, I've been noticing a ton of bras with ultra-thin bands and straps, which is why I've dubbed them G-string bras. I know not everyone will be a fan of this skimpy lingerie trend, as most styles only offer light coverage. However, if you are excited to try a barely-there bra, this look is super cute for showing off under semi-sheer or backless tops. Plus, it's in line with some people's summer philosophy of wearing as little as possible.
At first, I was having trouble finding enough examples to compile a story, but then I kept coming across these G-string bras left and right, proving that it's a major trend. Some of the most popular lingerie brands all have versions of the razor-thin trend, including Hanky Panky, Cosabella, Kiki de Montparnasse, and more. Scroll down to shop the 27 best G-string bras.

The same bra also comes in black and I might have already added it to my cart as well.
Fleur du Mal is one of the most popular luxury lingerie brands with fashion girls, so you can always trust it for high-quality pieces.
French-inspired brand Kiki De Montparnasse is known for its very Parisian pieces.
This super cute Intimissimi bra also comes in three other classic colors: black, navy, and nude.
Kim Kardashian West's Skims brand continues to sell out insanely quickly.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
