It’s time for a light and lacy underwear update: Here’s what we’re buying on Opera Lane

By Yay Cork May 21, 2026May 19, 2026

Brought to you by Opera Lane. 

Bye, bye frumpy knickers.

There’s nothing like the feeling of refreshing your underwear drawer for summer — especially when the shops are full of soft pastels, delicate lace, and pieces pretty enough to peek out from under your outfit on purpose.

From barely-there bralettes to comfy everyday sets that still feel luxe, Opera Lane is currently packed with light, feminine styles we immediately want to add to basket.

Here’s what we’re eyeing up right now.

Lacie at Victoria’s Secret, Opera Lane 

Victoria’s Secret’s latest collection Lacie, the ultimate breathable collection, is now available on Opera Lane.

With ultra-flattering Balconette silhouettes, light-as-air knickers and unlined Lacie bras in bold and tropical colours, this collection is designed for golden hour moments.

Victoria’s Secret products are created to support a wide spectrum of bodies, with band sizes typically ranging from 32 to 38 and cup sizes from A through to fuller cups, including DD.

Knickers range from XS to X, from €13 in-store now. 

The Seamless Push-up Bodysuit at H&M

If you’re living in slinky summer dresses, linen co-ords, or anything backless and fitted this season, a good seamless body is genuinely a wardrobe game-changer.

This microfibre style smooths and lightly shapes without feeling restrictive, giving dresses a cleaner, more flattering fit while still being comfortable enough for all-day wear. The detachable straps and low-cut back make it super versatile for different necklines, while the padded cups add a little extra lift and support — ideal for those “what bra do I even wear with this?” outfits.

Basically, it’s one of those invisible staples that makes your summer wardrobe work a whole lot harder.

Buy it: €29.99, H&M, Opera Lane 

A Balcony Bra to show off at Next 

This embroidered balcony bra feels like the kind of piece that deserves to be seen, not hidden away under a hoodie. The vibrant orange shade is perfect for summer, especially under white shirts, loose knits, or slightly sheer dresses where a pop of colour can actually become part of the outfit.

With its non-padded fit and balcony shape, it gives a more natural silhouette while still offering support and structure, and the premium embroidery adds that expensive-looking detail that instantly elevates your underwear drawer. Pretty, breathable, and confidence-boosting — exactly what we want for warm-weather dressing

Buy it: Orange Non Padded Balcony Premium Embroidered Bra, €39, Next, Opera Lane 

Summer PJs at River Island 

There’s something about a matching summer pyjama set that makes even the most chaotic mornings feel a bit more put together, and this blue cotton pair is exactly the kind we want to spend all season in.

The lightweight cotton fabric keeps things cool and comfy on warmer nights, while the floral print and lace trim add a soft, feminine touch without feeling overly fussy. Perfect for slow Sunday mornings, getting ready with the girls, or romanticising your nighttime routine a little bit.

Buy them: €37, River Island, Opera Lane
