What business underwear needs
If you wear a suit or shirt daily, you know: the wrong underwear shows through, chafes at the waistbandor traps heat. Business underwear must do three things: sit discreetly, regulate moisture, and last all day.
Why Lyocell dominates here
TENCEL™ Lyocellhas a smoother surface structurethan cotton — it's less bulky under a suit and shows through less. Additionally, Lyocell regulates moisture faster, which becomes relevant during long meeting days or in warm offices. Closed-loop processwhere over 99% of the solvent is recovered.
Cotton as an alternative
Organic cottonalso works for business, especially at cooler temperaturesor if you tend to have dry skin. Cotton is minimally bulkier than Lyocell, but in modern cuts (narrow waistband, flat seam), the difference is minor.
