CAMISOLES

CAMISOLES

Camisoles are pieces great for staying in or going out They come in lace satin cotton and just about any material you can find even leather Worn tastefully that means keeping your assets covered and not looking like youre ready for bed when youre out on the town these can be some of the hottest tops around

The Skinny On Strappy Tops
There are quite a few kinds of camisoles out there

Sheer Seethrough mesh and lace tops are best left for the bedroomor at least underneath another layer leaving them well concealed

Shaping Smooth out your bumps and lumps giving yourself a more streamlined silhouette instantly Shaping tops like those from Spanx Shapewear are a great option under fitted tops Check out this one from Bloomingdales

Maternity Nursing or maternity tanks often come with a clasp built in for easy nursing However they look like normal tops and can be worn that way No one has to know that its a special design for your babys needs

Good for layering When you want to layer multiple camis its best to choose just one or none with a shelf bra Otherwise the fabric may bunch up and youll be uncomfortable Put the shelf bra on the bottom next to your skin and then layer another camisole on top

Underwire These are similar to those with shelf bras but offer extra support for those who dont want to wear a bra and a shelf bra just to feel comfortable First things first You can wear them with or without a bra Often camisoles come with built in shelf bras so you can opt to go with a strapless bra underneath if youre larger chested or with no additional bra at all If youre wearing a satin or silk number in public keep in mind this style looks best with a seamless strapless bra underneath
Layers The beauty of a cami is that it is an essential layering piece One popular look is to wear two at once in complementary colorswith blue jeans yoga pants shorts or a skirt You can also wear one under a longsleeved boatneck tshirt so the strapsagain in a complementary colorpop
Wear a buttonup shirt unbuttoned over a cami for a classic casual look For work wear a camisole underneath a blazer or sweater for a pop of color and if its lace or satin a bit of subtle sex appeal and femininity Wearing the cami that way makes it easy for you to go from work to happy hour toojust remove the blazer or sweater take down your hair and touch up your makeup
