You’ve probably heard the term "moisture-wicking" tossed around a lot in fashion, especially when it comes to activewear or summer outfits. But what does it actually mean—and why is it important?

What is Moisture-Wicking Fabric?

Moisture-wicking fabrics pull sweat away from your skin and move it to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly. This keeps you dry, cool, and comfortable.

Undersummers Fabrics: Built to Breathe

Our Original Shortlettes® use a custom silky-stretch fabric that’s both moisture-wicking and ultra-breathable. That means less stickiness, less odor, and no embarrassing sweat marks.

Same goes for our Relaxed Fit Tank Dress and Lounge Shorts—they’re made to keep up with you, not cling to you.

Why It Matters for Midsize & Plus Size Bodies

Bodies of all sizes sweat—but midsize and plus size women often face increased friction, which makes moisture management even more important. Moisture-wicking fabric keeps you comfortable longer and helps prevent heat rash and skin irritation.
