"   Dolce &amp;amp;amp; Gabbana&amp;#039;s retro set. Photo: Net-a-porter  As the sun creeps out and hems creep up, we&amp;#039;ve noticed the fanciest lingerie labels offering an increasing number of high-waisted briefs. They&amp;#039;re prettier than they sound, reaching one&amp;#039;s real waist\u2014above the belly button\u2014and featuring a flattering cut across the thigh for a slimming look that&amp;#039;s sexier than Spanx. And as the runway&amp;#039;s penchant for sheer summer dresses turns into a reality, they&amp;#039;re a practical (prettier) alternative to boy shorts. Below, we round up some of our favorites. Dolce &amp;amp;amp; Gabbana&amp;#039;s black silk satin briefs, $285 at Net-a-porter. You&amp;#039;ll probably want to wear these out and about\u2014or at least on the beach. Resist the urge, but feel free to raise your hem a few extra inches. Anthropologie`s two-way set, $88. These come with a matching reversible bra. Valerie Bluebell&amp;#039;s high waisted lace brief, $134 at Journelle, are so beautiful that you&amp;#039;ll want the world to see. La Perla&amp;#039;s high waisted, sheer paneled briefs, $144 at Barneys, come in black and nude, though they lose that edge in the latter. American Apparel`s high waisted lace briefs, $24, probably shouldn&amp;#039;t be worn under something sheer. DKNY&amp;#039;s sweet and sultry shaper, $50 at Shopbop, is anything but what you&amp;#039;d expect from a product with the word shaper in the name. Cosabella&amp;#039;s Never Say Never thong, $65 at Neiman Marcus, is the best of both worlds (and a reference to Justin Bieber?). "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
