With the lightweight layers of spring slowly slipping away to reveal tanned shoulders, bare backs and a hint of décolletage in strappy tops, it’s officially time to update your lingerie drawer. After all, if that favourite black lace bra will clash with your white maxi dress, it’s a smart sartorial go to pick up sleek new underwear! From upgrading your everyday bras to stocking up on summer-ready shapewear, here’s how to ensure that your warm ride out looks start with flawless undergarments.

1) Add a couple of essential white T-shirt bras to your collection: With pastel hues and white fabrics making a splash for Summer 2015, white bras just may be your new lingerie must-have. For day after day use, slip into a comfortable cotton T-shirt bra under a flowing top, or wear a lacy white bra under a structured silk blouse in a lighter colour.

2) Look for a supportive strapless bra: For fashionistas who plot to wear off-the-shoulder bohemian blouses or fitted crop tops with 1990s style halter necklines, a quality strapless bra is a wardrobe essential. Embrace a versatile look with a neutral light brown style to flatter a variety of summer outfits, and avoid the gaudy look of strapless bras with bright floral prints, neon lace or contrasting colours.

3) Pick up a nude bra if you plot to embrace the sheer trend: With the trend of sheer and lace blouses and dresses making a statement, a nude bra can save you from the embarrassment of a wardrobe malfunction. A dark bra under a creamy white lace blouse can quickly cheapen a subtly sexy look, while a bold printed bra will clash against solid sheer designs.

4) Wear a breathable body shaper under a fitted dress: As temperatures rise, don’t allow hot, sticky shapewear to ruin your Friday night out. Stick to breathable cotton shaping garments under your skintight frocks, and leave shapewear made with acrylic fabrics for the colder months.

5) Pair shaping shorts with skirts for a smooth lower half: When you step out in light, breezy ensembles this summer, it’s also vital to deliberate the type of shapewear that you’re wearing. An overall full slip or bodysuit may leave you wanting to peel off the layers. Meanwhile, a pair of sleek control shorts under a skirt can help you achieve toned thighs and hips, without the extra bulk of a full body garment.
