10 Must-Have Summer Lingerie Pieces for Every Body Type

A law of Summer states that when the sun arrives, the clothes exit. Well, not entirely, but their quantity certainly drops. They're suddenly less baggy, bulky, and well - big. Conversely, they become smaller, more revealing, and tight around the edges. This may not seem like a big deal but to your lingerie, it is.

That's why summer lingerie matters. It needs to be a little more sheer while hugging just right enough to be seamless. And don't forget breathable and flexible and certainly beautiful. With that all considered, whether you're lounging at home or planning a romantic getaway, the right lingerie can make you feel confident and fabulous. At VienneMilano, we know that everybody is a work of art. And everyone deserves to feel stunning in their skin. Here are ten must-have summer lingerie pieces that cater to every body type, including thigh highs, stockings, and plus-size options.

1. Sheer Bralettes

• Style Tip: Pair with high-waisted shorts for a flirty summer look.

Sheer bralettes are the epitome of summer lingerie. They provide just enough support while allowing your skin to breathe. Look for designs with delicate lace or mesh for an added touch of elegance.

2. High-Waisted Panties

• Why We Love Them: Retro charm meets modern comfort.

• Perfect For: Adding a touch of glamor to any outfit.
• Style Tip: Choose sheer stockings under 20 denier for an irresistibly seductive ensemble.

Thigh highs are the leggings of the Summer. After all, they offer coverage, but since you're bare from mid-thigh up, you're not going to swelter in the Summer heat.

Lace bodysuits are a wardrobe essential. They can be worn alone or as a statement piece under your favorite summer outfit. With options ranging from plunging necklines to high collars, there's a lace bodysuit for everyone.

• Why We Love Them: Coordinated, chic, and confidence-boosting.
• Perfect For: Anyone who loves to feel put together.
• Style Tip: Choose a set in a summery pastel or vibrant hue.
