At the end of the article, discover THE collection that answers your questions!
What is invisible lingerie?
Invisible lingerie is, by definition, lingerie that does not appear under clothing. It differs from traditional lingerie through its composition and fabric. It is often made from a soft, lightweight, yet stretchy material: microfiber. This fabric naturally blends into the skin, leaving no visible marks.
What are the different types of invisible lingerie?
When it comes to invisible underwear, you are spoilt for choice and can even create stylish yet discreet sets.
The plus-size invisible bra: the versatile essential
Most bra models are available in an “invisible” version thanks to their color. You will find balconette bras, triangle bras, or push-up bras. But there are also specific models designed to remain completely undetectable under your tops.
- The spacer bra
Spacer bras are seamless thanks to a special manufacturing technique: laser cutting. These bras are known for their comfort thanks to their smooth and soft material, and their ultra-flat finishes prevent marks and irritation.
The ARUM PRIMA bra is ultra-light and thin: its breathable material adds no extra volume.
- The bustier bra
As the name suggests, the bustier bra is ideal for outfits with a bustier. This bra provides good support: the wide band placed under the bust applies gentle pressure to the lower part of the chest, creating a flattering shaping effect.
The bestseller from Sans Complexe Paris, the Arum bra, is reinvented here as a bustier in a more romantic and structured version, without losing what made it an essential piece.
- The strapless bra
The strapless bra is sufficiently covering to support the bust well and ensure excellent support, even for larger cup sizes. Generally, strapless bras have removable straps, allowing you to easily wear outfits that expose your shoulders and back.
The ARUM PRIMA strapless bra is designed to enhance your shoulder- and back-baring outfits with discreet elegance.
- The bra with adjustable straps
Some bras feature adjustable straps, meaning you can style them as you like depending on your outfit. They can be worn traditionally on each side of the bust or crossed.
Discreet and versatile, the NUDE ELEGANCE bra adapts to all your outfits thanks to its removable and multi-position straps.
Invisible lingerie: choose the ideal bottom
Once you have found your ideal bra, it is time to choose the bottom. Good news: there are also briefs, thongs, and other underwear bottoms made of microfiber with no visible seams.
- The invisible brief: Like bras, invisible briefs have no seams at the thighs, allowing them to go unnoticed. They also have no elastic, preventing any compression at the waist. Another advantage: they are suitable for all body shapes.
- The shaping invisible brief: Another option is shaping underwear or invisible shapewear. It smoothly shapes your silhouette and soft curves without marking the waist. Some shaping briefs are high-waisted, depending on your needs.
The PERFECT CURVES high-waisted brief smooths and shapes your curves discreetly thanks to its flat finishes.
- The invisible thong: Like a classic thong, the invisible thong does not show under clothing. Its seamless design leaves no marks at the waist. It particularly enhances women with defined hips and rounded buttocks.
- The invisible thong: The thong is also seamless, leaving nothing visible. It is slightly more covering than the thong while still enhancing the natural shape of the buttocks. Best suited for women with rounded shapes.
- The invisible shorty: The shorty suits all body shapes. It creates the illusion of volume for those with more discreet curves, without marking the skin. At the same time, it is ideal for curvier figures as it enhances the shape of the buttocks.
What outfits should you wear invisible lingerie with?
Since it is undetectable to the eye, you can wear invisible lingerie for all occasions and with all outfits. However, it is especially essential for the following clothing:
- Fitted or body-hugging clothing: dresses, skirts, and tops follow your shape and reveal underwear lines if it is not invisible;
- Sheer clothing: wearing transparent fabrics is not a fashion mistake—if you choose the right lingerie. Invisible lingerie will not show through;
- Lace clothing: lace tends to reveal skin and underwear. With invisible lingerie, you remain elegant;
- Strapless dresses or tops: there are strapless bra models available. It would be a shame to see straps showing when you want to highlight your shoulders.
How to choose plus-size invisible lingerie?
Before buying a discreet and invisible set, you should ask yourself a few questions to make the right choice.
- When will you wear this underwear?
To choose the right invisible lingerie, you need to consider your needs. Why do you want to buy invisible underwear? Will you wear it daily or for a special occasion such as a wedding? Will you pair it with a specific outfit? Do you need straps or not? All these questions will help you choose the most suitable model.
- What color is invisible lingerie?
Invisible lingerie is underwear designed to match your skin. Therefore, the model you choose should match your skin tone perfectly—from nude shades to brown, including powder pink, pearl, or caramel tones.

- What size should you choose?
The right size, of course! This is true for lingerie in general, but even more so for invisible underwear. If it is too small, it may create visible marks; if it is too large, it may wrinkle.
You now have all the keys to choose and confidently wear your invisible lingerie. Treat yourself!
