How to Choose the Right Underwear for Tight-Fitting Clothes

How to Choose the Right Underwear for Tight-Fitting Clothes

Choosing the right underwear for tight-fitting clothes can be a challenge. When wearing body-hugging outfits, you might want to avoid visible panty lines (VPL) for a smooth, seamless appearance.

 

From thongs to bralettes, here’s how to pick the perfect base layers for your more fitted outfits.

Barely-There Panties

Seamless panties are designed to be invisible under clothing. These no-show underwear options feature seamless edges that lie flat against your skin, making them the best choice for tight skirts, jeans, and dresses. 

Thongs for Bodycon Dresses

If you’re wearing a bodycon dress, thongs are your best friend. They eliminate panty lines entirely, ensuring a smooth finish. Look for soft, stretchable fabrics that move with you for added comfort. Luckily, we're the makers of the World's Most Comfortable Thong® so you have endless thong options to choose from. 

Choose Second-Skin Fabrics

Underwear made from lightweight, second-skin materials offers a barely-there feel, perfect for tight-fitting outfits. Fabrics like our moisture-wicking, barely-there BreatheSoft® and Hanky Panky Body™ are perfect base layers to blend seamlessly under clothes and prevent bunching.

Smoothing Briefs for Extra Coverage

For those looking for a bit more coverage, smoothing briefs are ideal. Our Hanky Panky Body™ undies provide a gentle hug of support. Smoothing and supportive, they are our non-squeezing solution to shapewear. 

Barely-There Bralettes 

When layering under a tight top, a bralette offers a comfortable and subtle option. Bralettes without underwire and padding work well under body-hugging tops and dresses, creating a smooth silhouette.

Lingerie Tops for Versatile Layering

Lingerie tops like lace camisoles or lace bodysuits can double as layering pieces under sheer or fitted tops. Made with our buttery soft Signature Lace, these tops are a perfect way to add a lace touch to your look. 


Finding the right underwear for tight-fitting clothes can be easy, especially with feel-good options like seamless panties, second-skin fabrics, and no-VPL thongs.
