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: fit discreetly, not chafe, remain comfortable all day long.
Why Lyocell dominates here
Lyocellhas a smoother surface structurethan cotton: it is less bulky under a suit and shows through less. The fiber is produced using a closed-loop process, in which over 99% of the solvent is recovered.
Cotton as an alternative
Cottonalso works for business, especially in cooler temperaturesor if you prefer its feel. It is minimally bulkier than Lyocell, but in modern cuts (narrow waistband, flat seams) the difference is slight.

- Long pants: close-fitting, longer leg, perfect for sports.
- Undershirt(deep neckline): under the shirt, as a sweat-wicking layer.
