Camisole Lingerie is an Essential Item for Women

Camisoles are versatile and can be worn both under clothes and as a top by itself.

Under Clothes

Camisoles are very comfortable piece of lingerie to wear under clothing. Body hugging and non-constrictive, they provide a thin layer of coverage.

When shopping, be aware of the texture of camisoles. Many lacy varieties are beautiful and sexy; however the pattern may show through tops made with thin or sheer material. Silky, smooth textured camisoles are perfect for wearing under clothing. The silky texture ensures no sticking or bunching against the outer shirt, and smoothness ensures no bumps and lumps.

The color of camisole you choose depends on the color and sheer-ness of the shirt you wish to wear. Women often make the mistake of wearing a white camisole under a white, sheer shirt. Even though the color of the camisole is the same as the color of the shirt, there’s a good chance the white camisole will be seen through the sheer fabric. As the fabrics double up, the white of the camisole will appear more solid and bright and may stick out like a sore thumb. Choose a nude color (ie – skin color) camisole to be more discreet.

Sleepwear Camisoles

Many varieties of camisoles are available as pyjama tops. Especially for the summer, the thin straps and delicate material of camisoles make comfortable and feminine sleepwear.

Many Choices

You’ll be surprised at the number of choices and variety of camisoles in stores. The types of materials, colors, patterns and textures available are very diverse. When choosing one that is right for you, consider the color and type of material of the shirt you wish to wear with it. Many women have several camisoles in their lingerie collection to accommodate different styles of shirts.
