What Knickers to Wear in Summer

When the sun comes out, so do the floaty dresses, linen trousers, and pastel tones we've been waiting all year to wear. But while we're quick to update our wardrobes for Summer, our knicker drawer deserves the same seasonal refresh.

Choosing the right Summer knickers isn't just about looking good. It's about staying cool, feeling fresh, and avoiding any visible lines under those breezy outfits. From breathable knickers for hot humid days to styles designed to disappear under light fabrics, this is your complete guide to what knickers to wear in Summer.

Breathable Knickers for a Comfy Summer

Hot weather calls for fabrics that let your skin breathe, and your underwear is no exception. Choosing Summer underwear made from breathable, lightweight materials can make all the difference in your day-to-day comfort.

Microfibre knickers are a Summer favourite thanks to their super lightweight, ultra-thin feel. They offer smooth coverage without clinging, making them ideal under flowy dresses or fitted skirts.

For next-level breathability, modal knickers are a great option. Made from natural fibres, modal allows air to circulate, keeping you cool when it's warm. It also helps to reduce sweating, keeping you feeling fresh. Our Period Pants are made from modal, offering discreet protection and the ultimate comfort throughout Summer during your time of the month.
And for added reassurance, all Boux Avenue knickers include a cotton gusset (aside from the microfibre ones, they’re super airy already), giving you an extra layer of breathable fabric where it matters most, so you don't have to compromise style.

Summer Colours for Your Knickers

When the heat hits, our wardrobes naturally shift. Lighter fabrics, brighter colours, and easy, breezy silhouettes. Your knicker drawer should be just as considered. Whether you're matching your mood or your outfit, choosing the right colour can make all the difference.

If you love pops of colour and are more of a thong wearer, you might like the Fran Lace High Leg Thong in Green. With delicate lace, a flattering cut, and a fit designed for everyday wear, it brings a bold energy to your base layers.

Bright colours aren't for everyone. If you prefer a softer Summer palette, then pastels are where it's at. The Kaylee Ultra Light Microfibre Lace Shorts in Lilac tick every box: featherlight, super soft, and designed with 4-way stretch for all-day comfort, ideal for warm days on the go. Then there are the essentials. For light or sheer clothing, nude tones are super practical. The Lucie Microfibre G-String Thong is sleek, seamless, and super comfortable to wear all day, making it the perfect under-everything option.
Of course, Summer's also the perfect excuse to have a little fun with prints. The Eloise Printed Pointelle High Leg Thong in Ivory Mix features a sweet lemon print and lace trim — ideal for those carefree, sunny days.

Knicker Styles That Won’t Be Seen

When it comes to Summer dressing, lightweight fabrics can be unforgiving, especially if your underwear isn't pulling its weight. From linen trousers to slinky slip dresses, the last thing you want is visible panty lines showing through. That's where No-VPL Knickers (no visible panty line) come in.

These seamless knickers are designed to disappear under your clothes, thanks to smooth microfibre finishes and stitch-free edges that lie flat against your skin. No harsh seams, no digging in — just soft, lightweight comfort that moves with you.

The Seamless Microfibre High Waist Briefs in Nude offer gentle support and coverage without creating lines, making them ideal for floaty dresses or figure-hugging styles. If you prefer minimal coverage, the Seamless Microfibre Thong in Nude keeps things just smooth and streamlined with no digging, no readjusting throughout the day, and zero fuss.

The right knickers can make all the difference on hot days, keeping you cool, comfy, and confident. Whether you're slipping into something colourful, opting for breathable fabrics, or making sure nothing shows under sheer Summer styles, it all starts with what you wear underneath. Shop Knickers now.
