As seen worn by numerous celebrities, the camisole top is a classic garment which will be a key piece of your spring and summer wardrobe. Wear a camisole on its own on steamy summer afternoons, or layer up with a cardigan for the evening this is the ultimate versatile and feminine style. If you are shopping for camisole tops for these season, the following dos and do-nots will ensure you always look stylish, sexy and on-trend.
Camisole Dos
For daily wear, always choose a bra which is strapless and moulded or seamless for an invisible effect under your camisole.
If you wear a camisole to work out, look for designs which are intended for active-wear and feature a built-in shelf bra. Added support and high-performance fabrics will ensure that your workout is comfortable and you look gorgeous
Wear one camisole over another for a relaxed look which is sexy and chic. Choose similar necklines and strap detailing to avoid an overly busy look you should just be able to see one top under the other. For fabrics and colours think contrast or tone match. For contrast try different textures like lace with a satin. Choose colours that make each other sing! Or choose two camisole tops in closely toned shades for a more subtle look.
A sheer or lacy camisole can be smartened up for office wear. Wear a fitted suit jacket or blazer in complementary or contrasting colour, for a feminine look which says you mean business.
For casual wear, try combining an ultra-feminine camisole which is made from delicate, pretty fabrics with masculine styled garments such as denim jeans or a boxy, tweed jacket. The soft innocence style of the camisole gets an edgy fashion look when worn next to more structured apparel.
Camisole Don'ts
Never wear a camisole with the wrong colour or style of bra this is a fashion disaster. If your camisole is a light, colour and/or sheer, choose a nude tone instead of black or white. Bras which have wide straps which are visible under the camisole must also be avoided.
If you are big busted, don't wear flimsy tops which will let your breasts bounce around without support, as this is unsightly, and uncomfortable.
Stay away from very sexy camisole styles as office-wear, after all you are there to work not distract your colleagues!
The camisole look is reminiscent of lingerie, so avoid that just rolled out of bed look in a smart environment by taking care over what you wear your camisole with. Loose silky pyjama style pants teamed with a camisole, for example, are a definite no go if you want to be taken seriously!
