When on the market for a new pair of underwear, this summer and beyond, consider a matching cotton underwear set. As the ideal understated undergarment and a top-drawer essential, this combo is trend-proof and a classic for a reason. Especially as temperatures rise, keeping cool on a summer night is possible thanks to lightweight cotton underwear sets that are both comfortable and, of course, breezy. The fabric is known best for being a breathable and reliable underwear fiber with less hassle than delicate lace or those high-tech textiles that have been dominating the market lately. Cotton underwear is also known to include sweet details like lace appliques and romantic floral prints. A white-on-white cotton bra and panty set, however, is as classic as it gets.
Next time you find yourself in the lingerie aisle, reach for adorable pink sets from Araks and & Other Stories and vintage-inspired bralettes and culottes from Cou Cou Intimates. Basic blacks never go out of style, especially when sourced from heritage underwear brand Calvin Klein. For a subtle amount of color, choose a lilac bra and brief from Boy Smells or a lime green set from Skin. Borrow a pair of boxer shorts from the boys like these from Skims and new label, Gil Rodriguez.
