Good Backing

ADK Halters

You have jeans that flatter your bum. Strappy stilettos to slim your ankles. And, of course, the bra that that keeps you perky.

But who watches your back?

ADK’s halters are just the thing for that oft neglected region. Created by Arianne de Kwiatkowski (yip, Lulu’s sister), the tops turn jeans and skirts into racy little numbers. Each one flatters with just the right amount of coverage, to accentuate without looking skanky. They come in cotton and Indian sari silks, and the styles are solid and bright. Even better, only a handful of each is made, so you can count on your friends to line up to borrow yours.

Which means you may just have to watch your back.

Available at Poppy, 281 Mott Street, between Houston and Prince Streets (212-219-8934).
