Women’s Clothing Necessity: The Camisole
November 22, 2007 | Filed Under Womens Fashion
I love camisoles (camis). My roommate makes fun of me for it, but I can’t help it. I think I have a cami in almost every color (no purple), and that’s because they’re very versatile. Some are just plain, some have lace, and I recently bought one with a little embellishment along the top. I can wear them at home, out on a date with my boyfriend, to bed (so comfy), for Holidays, or even to Church - with something else.
Today, cami length varies as much as the color, so they can be worn under the long shirts that are fashionable, or help lengthen out a short shirt. They can also offer a splash of color, or an embellishment. That’s why I love my lace ones - the lace can peek out - just a little bit - under or over the shirt. You don’t need to match a shoe color or purse color with the cami… think of it as an accent, like a pair of nice, long fashionable boots.
One thing to keep in mind about camis, though: they often come with “bras” inside of the shirt. These don’t offer very much support, and they’re not very comfortable. With these, try it on, and if it’s not comfortable, you have two choices: cut it out, or find another one. I recommend finding a different one.
This plain cami is available at Wet Seal for only $10 in cranberry, pink, blue, purple (hmmm…), violet, aqua, brown, white, black, and gray.
This embellished cami is available at Sears (www.sears.com) for $20 in black and white.
This pleated cami is available at JC Penny for $30 in cobalt blue.
Vanity Stores also has some nice camis for under $20, and those are my favorite, because they have lace on top, and on the bottom, the straps are a bit thicker, and they wear well. Unfortunately, I can’t get pictures from the site, but the website is very user friendly.
Wear these in the summer as they are, with layers, or wear them in the spring or fall with layers, or wear them in the winter under a jacket.
