Top Lingerie Picks for Sheer Summer Outfits: What to Wear Under Light Fabrics

Top Lingerie Picks for Sheer Summer Outfits: What to Wear Under Light Fabrics

Summer style often means lighter layers—think breezy linens, soft cottons, and semi-sheer whites. But with sheer or lightweight clothing comes the question: What should I wear underneath? 

Whether you're dressing for a hot day or a warm night out, the right lingerie can help you feel confident, supported, and seamless.

Why Red Is the New Nude

It may sound surprising, but red lingerie is often the best choice under white clothing. That’s because red blends in with most skin tones, especially medium to deep shades, creating a near-invisible look under sheer white. Try this trick with thongs, bralettes, or bodysuits when you're styling crisp white dresses, linen sets, or lightweight trousers.

Explore red options across our Signature Lace® Collection for a flattering and unexpected base layer.

BreatheSoft®: Lightweight and Workout-Ready

Made for movement and warm-weather layering, our Breathesoft® fabric is buttery soft with plenty of stretch. It’s the go-to thong for those looking for cooling comfort beneath body-skimming dresses or summer workout wear.

  • Breathable, soft, and moisture-wicking

  • Smooth finish that disappears under clothes

  • Ideal for hot days or active errands

The #1 Thong: Signature Lace®

You can’t go wrong with our best-selling Signature Lace® Thong. Loved for its ultra-soft lace, flattering v-front and v-back waistband, and minimal coverage, this style offers a no-show look even under the most delicate fabrics.

It’s the foundation your summer wardrobe deserves—available in a wide range of colors (yes, including red).

YourFit™: Light Support, Perfect Fit

When you’re looking for an ultra-stretchy and accomodating fit, YourFit™ is our answer. Engineered to mold to your shape without losing theirs, these styles offer everyday comfort for a range of bodies in a one size panty that fits sizes XS to XL. The smooth silhouette lies flat under  all your summer looks.

Hanky Panky Body™: Smoothing Shapewear That Breathes

If your summer outfit calls for a little more structure, Hanky Panky Body™ offers a supportive base that’s breathable, soft, and smoothing—without the squeeze.

The High Rise Biker Short acts like a gentle hug thanks to its double-layered 4-inch waistband that sits comfortably below the natural waist. With full back coverage and a longer leg, it’s the ideal seamless layer under airy skirts, dresses, or fitted trousers. The cotton gusset adds breathability where you need it most, while ultra-soft elastic keeps it in place, all day long.

  • Seamless design for invisible layering

  • Soft, sculpting feel—never restrictive

  • Stretch flexes with your body for a personalized fit

  • Ideal under sheer pieces or figure-hugging outfits

It’s shapewear you’ll actually want to wear in summer that gently hugs you without squeezing uncomfortably.

Whether you're styling a sheer summer top or a floaty summer dress, the right lingerie makes all the difference as a base layer.
