Overview

Choosing the right bra color for your outfit can make all the difference. Whether you're wearing a white shirt, a shoulder-baring top, a form-fitting skirt, a sheer lace top, or skinny pants, you need lingerie that either discreetly stays hidden or intentionally adds a touch of allure. But what underwear should you wear for each look? STYLEBOOK has the answers!

The Right Bra Color for a White Shirt

If you don't want your bra to show through your white shirt, avoiding a white bra is a must! The trick: opt for nude or red underwear. The white color of the shirt neutralizes red pigments – just make sure the T-shirt fabric isn't too thin, or your bra may still be visible. Seamless T-shirt bras and unpadded underwire bras made from silk blends also remain discreet under tight tops.

While white underwear may seem like a natural choice for white pants, it's a mistake. A pure white panty will shine like a spotlight under the white fabric. The safer option is a flesh-toned, champagne, or cream-colored panty. Avoid animal prints or other patterns, as they can also be see-through.

What to Wear Under Off-Shoulder or Spaghetti Strap Tops?

Steer clear of latex bras with transparent straps! While they may suggest a sense of nudity, they tend to draw even more attention. Plus, when you sweat, plastic straps become even more visible. Instead, opt for strapless bras – thanks to a wider underbust band and an inner latex layer, they stay in place even for those with a larger bust. If you have a smaller bust, bandeau bras without padding are a good option. Alternatively, you can skip the bra altogether as underwear.

What Underwear to Choose for Tight Clothing?

A thong may seem like the logical choice for tight pants and skirts, but beware! The lower the waistband, the more likely your underwear will peek out. A more elegant solution is to go for laser-cut hipsters at hip level or low-rise Brazilians that sit discreetly. These panties are made from polyamide or a similarly stretchy material and are literally cut with a laser, making seams disappear gracefully. For those who want to play it safe, opt for seamless panties – they leave no seam lines visible.
