The Best Underwear to Wear With a Silk Dress

Soft and luxurious, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of wearing a flowing silk dress. But if you’re wondering what underwear to wear under a silk dress, you’re not alone. The fabric tends cling to the body, which means you need underwear that will be completely invisible. 

As for what to wear with silk dress, we recommend two main categories—both of which happen to be our specialty, hint hint. The first is silk underwear, and the second is seamless underwear. Here’s a closer look at the benefits of both types (and yes, we have plus-size underwear up to a 3X in all styles!). 

Silk Underwear

If you’re wondering “is silk underwear good underneath silk clothing?” The answer is a resounding yes. And good news: We have the best silk underwear on the planet. 

Our Soft Silk Thong has gorgeous stretch lace finishes at the waist and leg openings, and because the lace lays flat against your skin, you never have to worry about VPL. Unlike a lot of other silk thong panties, it also has a substantial—not string-like, but not bulky—thong back, so you won’t have to do any strategic moves on the dance floor to pick your wedgie. (Hey, we’ve all been there!) It also has a mid-rise waist, as well as a tear-off label for added comfort. 

Prefer your silk panties to be briefs? Our Soft Silk Briefs are the ultimate choice in silk seamless underwear while offering more coverage. They have side seams to better fit under your dresses (and around your curves), and because they’re made from 100% silk, they’re also naturally breathable and moisture-wicking. We love this option for those wondering what to wear under a satin dress.

How to Style It

We love matching our undies to our dresses! With a wide range of hues available in our Soft Silk Collection, you can find a neutral or a bright color to complement any outfit. Our Soft Silk undies also look and feel great under our Soft Silk Slips, which layer beautifully under sheer styles, keeping you cool and dry all day long. 

Seamless Underwear

Another option to wear with silk dresses is our lightweight seamless underwear and plus-size seamless underwear. They feature body-hugging fits and a dreamy lightweight blend that feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. 

Our Soft Seamless Briefs and Soft Seamless Briefs with Lace are a perfect choice to wear with a silk dress if you like mid-rise briefs and no VPL, ever. They have thermowelded seams and laser-cut leg openings, which not only prevent wedgies but also ensure a perfect fit. Some of our Soft Seamless collection also has a planet-friendly upgrade, as they are created with CiCLO® fibers, which are designed to behave more like natural fibers when they end up in the environment. 

If you’re wondering what underwear to wear with a slip dress in particular, we recommend our Soft Seamless Thong. This style has a barely there feel and removable tags, making it completely invisible under even the clingiest silk silhouettes—not to mention super-comfortable. 

How to Style It

A thong is our go-to under longer dresses like maxi dresses, where your risk of exposure is lower! For those who want the most coverage, our new High Waisted Seamless Brief keeps you all tucked in and secure under tighter styles.
