Tricky Summer Silhouettes & The Panties to Wear with Them

No panty lines in sight.

Summer is here, and although we love the fashion that comes with it, dressing for all the events on our agenda can be tricky during these warmer months. Think: sundresses that cling to thighs, skirts that fly up in the wind, high slits, complicated fabrics—the list goes on. But before you rescind your RSVPs, let’s get real—the problem isn’t your clothing. And hint, the secret to pulling it off is your Panties. 

Ensuring the perfect coverage and that our clothes lay nicely, a great Panty will heighten the *wow* factor of all your summer outfits. However, knowing where to start can be challenging, as there are many types of Panties that offer a variety of coverage and undetectable properties. To help, we did the work for you, and curated a list of the top occasions and the perfect foundations for them. Read on to discover the best Panties to compliment every outfit in your summer wardrobe. 

​​Best Under Sheer Dresses: No-Show High-Waist Thong Panty

Notoriously tricky to pair with underwear, sheer dressing is one of our favorite special-event options and a trend that is not going away. When wearing your go-to see-through dress, make sure you’re in a Panty offering extra coverage. We’re obsessed with the super-flattering, No-Show High-Waist Thong Panty for the retro-cut (sans panty lines); and the high-waist cut of our new Modern Brief Panty for its near-invisible look under sheer dresses.  

Best Style with Tummy Control: Smoothing Shimmer Brief Panty

Offering a touch of light, smoothing compression that nips you in at the waist, this full-coverage style has a gorgeous satin finish, in a range of flattering neutrals for every day and a variety of skin tones. Pro-tip: it’s perfect under a tissue-fine, slinky knit dress.

Best Under a Wedding (or Bridesmaid) Dress: The Lacie, Lace Thong Panty

Beloved by our longtime customers, our top-rated Lacie Panties are now even softer and stretchier than ever for superior comfort—making it a must for wedding dresses, whether you’re the bride or a guest. The Lacie offers just the right amount of smoothing and coverage, to appear seamless under dresses.

Best Under High-Slit Dresses: Stretch Cotton High-Leg Scoop Thong Panty

If thigh-high slit Dresses are on deck, we recommend thongs only. First up, the Stretch Cotton High-Leg Scoop Thong Panty. The buttery soft, flattering, high-cut Panty will come in handy just in case a summer-breeze-induced wardrobe malfunction arises. And if lace is more your style, opt for the Lace String Thong Panty—now even softer and stretchier than ever for superior comfort.

Best Under Leggings: No-Show Cotton Cheeky Panty

Whether you’re working out or running errands, sportswear and athleisure leggings still benefit from the perfect foundation. They are your nearly invisible MVP for every day and special occasions.
