Summer is the time of the year when stylish women flaunt their curves. It’s when you go on long holidays and finally wear that cool top or try on the sleeveless blouse you’ve been hiding in your wardrobe through the winter months.
But that’s usually just slimmer women!
For curvy women, summer comes with a wave of pressure to hide, cover up, or tone down their natural shape. But it does not have to be like that. Like most style experts, it is not about having the perfect shape, but finding the right wardrobe that is perfect for your shape. It’s about owning who you are. So, this summer, it’s time to finally embrace your curves, own your body, and radiate confidence from the inside out…starting with your lingerie collections. And we are here to help you!
Here are our 10 lingerie-focused ways to celebrate your curves and step boldly into the sunshine.
#1. Start with a Well-Fitted Bra
Confidence begins with comfort, and nothing feels better than a bras that actually fits. A well-fitted bra doesn’t just support your bust, it lifts your posture, improves your silhouette, and can even boost your mood.
Whether it’s a padded balconette bra that gives your curves a rounded, perky lift, or a plunge bra that enhances cleavage under summer dresses, the key is getting your size right. Many women wear the wrong bra size without even realizing it. If you haven’t been fitted in a while, now’s the time. You could go to a store and opt for a professional fitting or use Wacoal’s online bra size calculator guide.
#2. Choose Lingerie That Highlights, Not Hides
Your lingerie should celebrate your body, not fight against it. Instead of choosing pieces that compress, conceal, or smooth you into a different shape, opt for designs that frame your curves beautifully.
Think high waist briefs that cinch your waist, lace bras that showcase your decolletage, or bodysuits that highlight your natural silhouette. Lingerie should feel like a second skin, not a mask. When it fits right and looks stunning, your confidence will speak for itself.

#3. Embrace Bold Colors and Prints
Summer is all about color, so let your lingerie drawer reflect that too. Rich jewel tones, vibrant florals, animal prints, and neon accents look incredible on all skin tones and body types.
Colorful lingerie brings joy. It energizes your wardrobe and gives you a secret confidence boost that’s just for you, even if no one else sees it. So don’t hesitate to embrace emerald green lace bras or a hot pink set. Wear it like a celebration.

#4. Try Wireless or Soft-Cup Bras for Comfort
Summer heat and sticky weather can make underwires feel like the enemy. Luckily, soft-cup and wireless bras have come a long way. Today’s designs offer support, lift, and style without sacrificing comfort.
For lounging at home, running errands, or slipping under a breezy maxi dress, a wireless bra or bralette with wide bands and structured cups can be your best friend. So, combine them with the wired staples that are already a part of your lingerie wardrobe. Look for breathable fabrics like cotton or modal to stay cool and confident all day long.

#5. Play with High-Waist Panties and Matching Sets
There’s something powerful about slipping into a matching lingerie set. It instantly makes you feel put-together, even if you’re just hanging out at home. High waist briefs, in particular, are flattering and functional. They accentuate your waist, provide gentle tummy support, and look gorgeous with longline or balconette bras.
Choose sets in lace, satin, or mesh to feel luxurious. Pair them with a robe and your favorite playlist for an instant confidence ritual.

#6. Don’t Shy Away from Sheer or Cut-Out Styles
Sheer lingerie isn’t just for the runway, it’s for real bodies. Strategic mesh panels, peekaboo lace, or tasteful cut-outs add allure without making you feel overly exposed.
These details draw the eye in ways that celebrate your curves, not hide them. A well-placed cut-out on the waist or hips can enhance your shape and make you feel empowered in your skin.

#7. Choose Lingerie That Moves with You
Let’s face it: summer is hot. You want lingerie that breathes, stretches, and moves with your body, not against it. Look for pieces made from lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics like bamboo, stretch lace, or microfiber blends.
Comfort is not the opposite of sexy. In fact, lingerie that fits well and lets you move freely is more alluring—because nothing is more attractive than someone who’s clearly comfortable in their own skin.

#8. Use Lingerie as a Styling Layer
Lingerie isn’t just for behind closed doors. It can be part of your summer wardrobe too. Lace bralettes peeking from under tank tops, corsets layered over a shirt dress, or satin slips worn solo with sandals are all on-trend ways to integrate your favorite pieces into everyday outfits.
Styling lingerie as outerwear not only adds dimension to your look but gives you more chances to show off the beautiful pieces that usually stay hidden. Let your lingerie be part of your fashion statement.

#9. Wear Lingerie Just for You
You don’t need a partner or a special occasion to wear beautiful lingerie. Do it for yourself. Wear lace on a Tuesday. Put on that matching set under your work outfit. Lounge in a satin robe with no plans at all.
Confidence comes from knowing your body is worthy of adornment just as it is. Lingerie isn’t about impressing others…it’s finally about honoring yourself.
