1. Skinny Jeans and Strappy Sandals

For balmy summer days, a breezy cami paired with your best pair of high-waisted skinny jeans is the perfect combination. Accessorize with strappy sandals or ballet pumps for the perfect outfit for brunch with the girls.

When wearing a cami on its own, choose one with interesting strap details such as the  Amoena Valetta Camisole which has a chic double spaghetti strap and a flattering rounded neckline.

2. Cozy Cardigan and Wide Leg Blue Jeans

Pair a soft snug camisole in a neutral shade with a cozy knitted cardi and your favorite pair of wide leg jeans for the perfect early fall style.

The  Still You Alise Lace Mastectomy Camisole comes in a range of elegant shades and the floral lace overlay adds an eye-catching textural detail to your outfit.

3. Pencil Skirt and Blazer

Perfect for spring or summer at the office, a silky cami combined with a pencil skirt and a blazer give you a tailored feminine look that can take you from day to night.

Choose a more modest cut neckline for the office such as the  Luisa Luisa Mastectomy Tank Top which features a chic cowl neck to provide ample coverage.

4. Leather Biker Jacket and Pleated Skirt

Find the ideal balance between masculine and feminine aesthetics by matching a lacy cami and flirty pleated midi skirt with a bold leather biker jacket.

The  Coobie V-Neck Camisole has a touch of delicate lace along the neckline and comes with a built-in bra with removable padded cups to enhance your shape.

Tips for How to Style a Cami

Do:

  • Wear a seamless strapless bra to avoid exposed bra straps. The ABC Strapless Mastectomy Bra features padded underwire for added support and foam cups to enhance your natural shape.
  • Tuck your camisole into a skirt or jeans to create a more pulled-together look.
  • Contrast colors when layering camisoles with darker shades layered on top of lighter colors.
  • Go braless. Camisoles look best without bra straps showing, many styles of camisoles come with a built-in shelf bra to provide support if you choose not to wear a bra.

Don’t

  • Pair a skin tight camisole with skinny jeans. For a well-styled outfit your top and bottom should have opposite proportions. Choose a billowy silk cami with form fitted bottoms, or a snug fitting cami with voluminous bottoms such as a midi skirt or wide leg pants.
  • Layer too many camisoles. If you are wearing your cami as a warming layer underneath other clothing, layering too many pieces can make your outfit look bulky and unsophisticated. Opt for one warm layer underneath your favorite sweater or cardi.
