If you've ever worn racerback tops, much like this Express Sexy Basics Racerback Tank ($17), then you know that they have a slight flaw. If they're cut too low, your bra ends up showing from the sides and back. Unless you want to pull a Carrie Bradshaw, I came up with a solution without sacrificing comfort.

Racerbacks are usually in the back of tops, not the front. This Mason by Michelle Mason Classic Racer Detail Gray Tank ($187) is playing tricks on us by bringing the racerback detail to the front. It's cool to push the envelope, I would probably sport it if it weren't so expensive. What about you?

Leighton Meester's body is smokin', but by no means curvalicious. So why am I using her as a poster child for curves? Because in her BCBG dress, she proves that you don't need major curves to look womanly. Here, her body looks more hourglass-like than usual, thanks to the dramatic racerback bodice of her LBD.
Notice how the straps sit closer in, away from her shoulders, and how the sides dramatically curve below her armpits? That inverted cutout draws in your gaze and makes you picture an hourglass figure. Of course, a body-conscious fit also helps to move this illusion along. Watch out, dangerous curves ahead!
