When the temperature rises, the last thing you want is clingy, sweaty underwear ruining your flowy summer vibe. Whether you’re brunching outdoors, heading to work, or twirling at a sunset party, the question comes up every season: what should I wear under my summer dress? Let’s break it down so you can breeze through summer with confidence, comfort, and zero panty lines.

Why Your Underwear Matters More in Summer

In the cooler months, we layer up and usually don’t think twice about what’s going on underneath. But summer dresses, especially the floaty, lightweight ones don’t leave much room for error.

Here’s why choosing the right women’s underwear for summer is crucial:

• Breathability: Say goodbye to synthetic fabrics that trap heat. Your skin deserves to breathe.
• No Visible Panty Lines (VPL): Lightweight fabrics = every seam shows.
• Comfort: Chafing and riding up? Hard pass.
• Support for All Body Shapes: Because feeling confident starts with the right fit.

1. Seamless Underwear: Your Best Friend in Summer

Let’s start with the MVP: seamless underwear. These are made to disappear under your clothes, and they do a stellar job of it.

• Why it works: No stitching, no seams = no panty lines.
• Ideal for: Fitted dresses, bodycon styles, and anything clingy.
• Material picks: Look for soft touch fabrics and cotton gussets for breathability and moisture control.

2. Bikini Briefs: The Everyday Hero

Bikini briefs are a solid go-to for most summer dresses. Just make sure you’re choosing the right fabric and cut.

• Best for: Mid-rise and A-line dresses.
• What to look for: Cotton-rich fabrics or bamboo viscose blends. These materials naturally wick moisture and feel gentle against the skin.

• Editor’s Pick: Try the Freya Loveland Brazilian Brief, it offers minimal lines with maximum confidence, perfect for slipping under flowy summer styles.

Tip: Choose a bikini brief underwear in a nude tone that matches your skin for an invisible finish.

3. High Waist Full Briefs: For a Smooth Silhouette

If your dress is snug around the tummy or hips, high waist full briefs give light support without feeling restrictive.

• Why we love them: They smooth muffin tops and provide a clean line from waist to thigh.
• Comfort factor: Look for seamless finishes and stretchy yet breathable fabrics.
• Perfect for: Body-hugging cotton dresses, shirt dresses, or wrap styles.

• Try This: The Empreinte Tess Full Brief is a go-to for invisible shaping and silky-soft comfort that won’t dig in.

Full coverage never looked (or felt) so good.

4. Organic Cotton & Bamboo: Natural Fabrics That Breathe

Natural fibres aren’t just eco-friendly, they’re body-friendly too.

• Bamboo viscose: Hypoallergenic, breathable, and soft as a cloud.
• Organic cotton underwear: Gentle on the skin and naturally absorbent.
• Great for: Sensitive skin, hot climates, or long days on the move.

Bonus: Our organic cotton and bamboo underwear is crafted with sustainability in mind, kind to your body and the planet.

5. Chafe-Free Options for Thigh Comfort

Let’s get real, thigh chafing is a summer nightmare. If your dress rides up or your thighs touch (hello, most of us!), body shorts are a game-changer.

• Choose: Seamless, mid rise underwear with soft, stretchable fabric.
• Extra benefit: No riding up. No adjusting. Just smooth support.

Chafe prevention is self-care. Trust us.
