Heat, despite being something we wait for all year, can be tiring. Inappropriate clothing exacerbates the discomfort associated with high temperatures. Underwear is particularly important in this regard – not all of it is suitable for summer.

Irritation, excessive sweating, unpleasant odour – oops, let he who has not experienced this cast the first stone. But that’s enough of that! Find out what underwear to choose for summer, and don't let the heat get the better of you.

What underwear should you choose for summer? Breathable, first of all!

This is absolutely the most important feature of summer underwear. Our skin wants and needs to breathe, especially when the heat is relentless. So, if you're wondering what underwear to choose for summer, opt for breathable above all else. Natural materials will work wonderfully, such as cotton (the simplest solutions are often the best).

As summer lingerie, you can also choose mesh models, such as. Emotional Carousel. It's lightweight underwear that lets air pass through and allows skin to breathe. Ideal, right?

When it comes to underwear for summer, it has to be breathable and airy. It minimises excessive sweating, which translates to greater comfort, even when temperatures reach extremely high levels. 

The ideal underwear for summer – the less the better

It seems obvious, and yet we still don't follow this rule. If you don't know what underwear to choose for summer, focus on breathable materials and minimalist styles. Avoid heavily covered briefs and bras. For summer, choose bralettes, for example, like Your Narration. When it comes to knickers, we suggest classic briefs. Cosmic Love. Of course, remember to adjust the model to your figure.

The less you wear in the summer, the better your body breathes. Some women give up underwear completely at this time of year. Is that a good thing? Not necessarily. It has a negative impact on our hygiene, as well as our appearance. All you need to do is choose underwear that fits well, and you can wear it comfortably all year round.  

Here's what to wear under your summer crop tops:

Of course, in the summer we like to wear crop tops, backless dresses, and low-cut tops. It's the perfect time for such outfits. But what about the underwear that's hard to hide under such clothing?

When considering what underwear to choose for summer, you definitely need to take stock of your wardrobe. If you have a lot of „tricky” outfits, you should opt for unusual underwear. What do you think about a light bodysuit with deep side cut-outs, a back neckline ending at the waistline, and at the front ending just above the navel?

Universal underwear for summer that goes with everything

Replace four or five sets of underwear in your wardrobe with just one? Yes, you can have one summer set and be more content than if you owned a full drawer of lingerie. In this case, opt for a universal colour, namely beige. Also, consider whether you can wear it with everything, including floaty dresses with open backs. Don't forget about mesh fabric and a perfect fit for your figure. Psst…at Bouduar, we make custom lingerie!

The best underwear for an evening gown depends entirely on the style of the dress. For a smooth, seamless look, consider seamless thongs or briefs. If the dress has a low back or a plunging neckline, you might need to opt for special bras like a backless or adhesive bra. For structured dresses with shaping qualities, you may not need any special underwear, or perhaps a shaping slip. Always try on your underwear with the dress to ensure it's invisible and comfortable.
