Summer is a time when we all want to feel fresh, light, and comfortable — even underneath our clothes. High temperatures and humidity can be a real challenge for our skin, making the choice of the right lingerie absolutely essential. It’s not just about looks; it’s also about comfort and skin health.
In this article, we guide you through the best lingerie fabrics for hot weather and share practical picks from Zaletta.co.uk that combine style with breathability.
Which Lingerie Fabrics Work Best in Summer?
1. Cotton – The Natural Classic That Never Fails
Cotton remains one of the most beloved lingerie materials for a reason:
🔸 Breathability – lets your skin breathe in the heat
🔸 Moisture Absorption – wicks away sweat to keep you dry and avoid chafing
🔸 Hypoallergenic – perfect for sensitive skin
🔸 Durability – retains its shape and softness even after many washes
👉 Try our lightweight cotton briefs for everyday comfort and a minimalist summer look.
2. Satin – Cooling Luxury with a Chic Finish
Satin might be associated with nightwear, but it’s a summer favourite for a reason:
🔸 Smooth & Cooling – feels cool and soft on sun-kissed skin
🔸 Elegant Sheen – adds a luxurious feel
🔸 Featherlight – a second-skin feel that doesn’t weigh you down
Perfect for pyjamas, slips, or romantic summer sets.
👉 Discover our satin pyjama set with shirt and shorts – feminine, breezy, and ideal for warm nights.
3. Lace – Delicate, Airy & Sensual
When chosen wisely, lace can be breathable and comfortable:
🔸 Sheer and Lightweight – allows airflow, keeping you cool
🔸 Stretchy and Soft – won’t irritate your skin
🔸 Visually Elegant – adds charm and femininity
Avoid heavy or stiff lace in the heat and stick with soft, fine textures.
👉 Shop our lace-trimmed nightdress – flirty, lightweight, and perfect for summer evenings.
Key Tips for Summer Lingerie
✅ Avoid heavy embellishments – they restrict airflow and can cause irritation
✅ Choose the right fit – tight lingerie causes discomfort; loose styles might lack support
✅ Opt for second-skin feel – soft, seamless designs work best when the heat is on
