Women's underwear

Light underwear dries more easily on trips; beneath pale clothing, colour matters too.

Guide

Women's underwear

For everyday wear look for soft edges and a cut that stays smooth beneath your clothes. Travelling also calls for manageable drying times and a small change of underwear.

Key points

Look for flat edges beneath close-fitting trousers.
Wash merino according to its label and let it dry openly.
Choose between a bralette and sports bra for the support you need.

Common questions

Can I wear merino every day?

If the fabric feels comfortable on your skin and the fit works, a merino blend can suit everyday wear. Check the composition and care label: wool content and fabric thickness vary between individual garments.

Do I need a different bra for sport?

Choose support for the activity. A soft bralette can feel comfortable in daily life but offers different support from a purpose-built running bra. Base your choice on the movement involved and the support your bust needs.

Which colour works beneath pale tops?

A shade close to your skin tone often shows less than strongly contrasting underwear. Check the combination in daylight, as seams, fabric thickness and close-fitting outer garments also affect what remains visible.

How can I pack fewer spare pieces?

Allow time for washing and complete drying. Thin briefs and vests are easy to change, with a long layer added for cold evenings. Keep damp underwear separate in your luggage and hang it openly at your next stop.
