Undie fabric 101: Your underwear guide

Put a little love in your undie drawer! Aerie undies are here to keep you feeling good in your fave fits, prints and tried-and-true fabrics. Buying underwear should be easy, not confusing! Let’s talk about our fabrics and what makes them feel so good.

First up: basic cotton undies. Our cotton undies come in all of our fits: thong, cheeky, bikini, boybrief, boyshort, high waisted and high cut styles.

Here’s why they’re your best basics:

• Smooth and stretchy cotton is breathable and an easy choice for everyday wear.
• We have basic, flat stretchy cotton and breathable, ribbed cotton.
• We also have multiple waistband options: a smooth and lightweight elastic band that never digs in, soft binding that always stays in place, Aerie logo elastic bands and pretty, signature lace waistbands.

Our lace undies are here to be your everyday pretty undies. New laces come in every season and ALL of our laces are soft and comfy.

Our basic Eyelash Lace is available all year long, and comes in thong, cheeky, bikini, boybrief AND high waisted boybrief fits. There’s a reason (or 2) that we have Eyelash Lace undies all the time:

• Soft and dainty allover lace with a pretty, textured eyelash trim
• Smooth and stretchy (amazing for every day)

Our Eyelash Lace matches back to so many of your fave bras and bralettes, too! Grab a matching one for a pretty set.

Seam-less is more! Seamless means no seams at the sides and all comfort. Seamless undies are offered in thong and boybrief fits. They are always knit with spandex yarns, so they’re super stretchy!

Seamless undies are great for:

• When you want sporty, stretchy and breathable fabric
• Any time you want to get MOVING

However you want to sweat it out, seamless undies are here for you. Adventure away! Shop our sports bras and pair with your seamless undies for the ultimate active duo.

No Show is the way to go. We offer No Show undies in cheeky and in thong fits. The undie lines are invisible, but the reasons to love it are all clear:

• Let’s hear it for raw cut edges (Aka: NO. UNDIE. LINES!)
• Special wicking properties to keep you cool all day long
• This fabric is especially smooth and stretchy 

Feeling like the REAL you is always the right move. Our Real Me undies come in thong and boybrief fits. If you haven’t tried this fabric yet, do yourself a favor!

• It’s a dreamy, buttery-soft fabric that shapes to you 
• It’s lightweight, giving you that second-skin feel 
• THE stretchiest fabric we make! (Fun fact: this was originally designed as a one-size-fits-all fabric because of its AMAZING stretch qualities.)

Shop these undie styles and so many more in stores and at Aerie.com! Fill your undie drawer with the cutest, comfiest underwear and the best bralettes. Happy mixing and matching!
