These Nude Panties Are Invisible Under White Jeans—And They’re Really Cute, Too
Embrace summer's freshest color without showing off your underwear.
During the summer, everything is lighter: meals, hair, and clothing. High on my list of favorite summer clothes ranks all things white. We’re told we can only wear the color for a few months out of the year (although I do break the rule sometimes), so I like to take full advantage of the whites season by wearing all the things: jeans, linen pants, sheer skirts, and sundresses, all in crisp white fabrics. But with white bottoms comes a higher rate of visibility—aka, people can see your panties.
No one wants their underwear out on display. So when you have a cute outfit all planned out—white pants or an ivory sundress laid on your bed for dressing—it’s a major buzzkill when you realize that you only have hot-pink and lime-green panties left in your underwear drawer. The bright fabrics will show right through your otherwise perfect outfit, and you’ll end up hanging that sundress back in your closet. Enter: nude panties.
Nude underwear is a summertime necessity, but the intimates can be tough to find in flattering silhouettes. Slick nude fabric covering your bum just doesn’t do the trick like red lace does, but not all nude underwear has to be purely practical. Below, we rounded up seven nude panties that will not show under your white summer staples—and will also make you feel like your best self.
