The Essentials: The Camisole

Your wardrobe is made out of several elements: the essentials, the staples, and the fun things. The essentials are your foundation pieces; the ones you need to build up your outfits from the ground up. Part of your essentials should include a variety of camisoles that can go under sheer tops, add coverage to the chest area, and slide under your jackets and cardigans for an easy go-to outfit that’s chic and put together. On #ShopNTL, we have more than just lingerie, and hold a great variety of options that will work with your current wardrobe. Here are just some of our #ShopNTL camisoles that we carry from fabulous brands and how we think you can work them into your wardrobe.
Arlete Cotton Camisole With Soft Shelf Bra and Lace Detail by Arianne Lingerie

A square neckline is not often seen, which is a shame because it’s such a flattering and surprisingly sexy shape on a woman. Show off your decolletage with accents of lace in this very comfortable camisole option. A shelf bra lets you go braless if you choose. Try this cami under your Fall cardigans for work, or just simply tuck it in to your bottoms to show off the lace detail and the neckline.

Wide Strap Cotton Camisole (M-5XL) by Naturana Lingerie

We don’t all want spaghetti straps that show our bra straps, so this cami is a perfect option for that. It offers great thick straps and lace detailing to make it stand out from a typical camisole. You can wear this on its own tucked into a skirt, or with a pair of jeans for weekend errands. We like how you can dress up this basic staple as the lace decoration adds visual interest.

Glamour Lace Slimming and Shaping Camisole by Body Hush

You wouldn’t believe this very pretty camisole was shapewear just by looking at it. Get the benefits of smoothing in a garment that is so nice, you’ll want everyone to see it. This is a wise option for under those sheer tops that are unforgiving, but you can really wear this with almost anything. Once again, lace brings the top to another level for a little bit of glamour in your basic piece.

Slips Seamless Camisole With Adjustable Straps by Arianne Lingerie

When you don’t want the outline of your cami to show under your clothing, this seamless number will help you eliminate that problem. The slinky straps and neckline remind us of a sexy nightie which is super fun. It’s a light layer that will work with your wardrobe. For a really cute look, tuck this on its own into a nice pencil skirt for a cute casual/work look.

Bamboo Shelf Bra Camisole With Shelf Bra by Elita Lingerie

If you sweat when you wear a lot of layers, try this bamboo cami that fights against built up moisture. A shelf bra adds a little more support, and the soft fabric virtually disappears under your thin layering tops. Thick straps are aligned with contrasting trim for a unique touch. It’s so comfortable you’ll want to wear it every day.
Cotton Camisole With Built-in Bra (s-4XL) by Naturana Lingerie

The detailing on this camisole is truly sweet and forms into a light built-in bra. There is a little bit of support to go braless under this if you wish, and it can be worn as a layering piece. We like the thought of a nice bright jacket and a pair of dark denim to pull this cami together into an outfit. The cotton is also quite soft against the skin.
