Summer is officially here, and with it comes intense heat, sunshine, longer days, and… a whole lot more heat! While we love soaking up the vibrant energy of the season, staying comfortable and feeling fabulous when the temperatures soar can be a challenge. Here at Baba’s Lingerie, we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice style or comfort, even when it’s scorching outside.
The secret to staying cool and confident isn’t about what you wear on the outside; it’s just as much about what’s next to your skin!
Here are our top tips for choosing your lingerie to beat the heat:
- Choose Breathable Fabrics: This is paramount! Ditch heavy, synthetic materials that trap heat and moisture. Instead, reach for natural fibers like cotton. This fabric is truly breathable, wicking away sweat and allowing your skin to breathe, which is key to staying cool and preventing irritation. Look for unlined or lightly lined options in any cool materials.
- Think Light & Unstructured: Heavy padding and restrictive underwired bras can feel stifling in the heat. Opt for bras that have soft-cups, or are unlined that offer gentle support without adding the extra bulk. Seamless designs are also a fantastic choice, as they minimize friction and maximize comfort.

- Color Me Cool: it is understood that dark colors absorb heat and lighter shades reflect it. So, when picking your everyday essentials, think whites, pastels, and nudes. Not only do these colours scream Summer, they feel fresh like that just shower feeling and they do make your skin feel cooler.
- Prioritize Comfort in Undies: Just like your bras, your undies should be made from breathable fabrics. Cotton is always a winner for everyday wear. Consider styles like bikinis or hipsters that offer good coverage without being overly constricting. Thongs can also be a good option for minimal fabric on warmer days, provided they are also made from a breathable material like cotton.
- The Power of Sheer & Mesh: For those special lingerie moments or when you want an extra touch of allure without the bulk, sheer and mesh pieces can be your best friend. They offer incredible breathability and a lightweight feel, perfect for balmy but romantic evenings.
Beyond the fabric, here are a few extra tips:
- Cool Out: Allow your skin to breathe whenever possible. When you get home, change into something light and loose-fitting.
- Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Staying well-hydrated is crucial for regulating your body temperature.
- Cool Shower: A quick cool shower can work wonders before dressing for the day or before bed. Just heat the water just enough to take the chill off.
Staying cool in the heat doesn’t mean sacrificing your beautiful lingerie collection but by making smart choices about fabrics and styles, you can feel comfortable, confident, and utterly gorgeous all summer long.
