I avoided the crotchless panties and pearl thongs at Agent Provocateur and gravitated toward a sheer, bright-orange set with a matching garter belt. The full briefs were simple and surprisingly high-cut, but the bra was so low that it actually rested below the nipple—not practical or attractive. I liked the neon bright color, but as I haven’t been practicing my pole-dancing routine recently, I put the bra back on the rack. Agent Provocateur, 133 Mercer St., nr. Prince St.; 212-965-0339.
