How To Style a Camisole, the Underpinning Must-Have for Fall

You might recall the slip dress was all the rage about a year ago. Now it’s time to embrace another lingerie item: the lace camisole! Cost per wear, camisoles offer an incredible value being both versatile and essential to a well curated wardrobe. There are many sweaters and tops that we would otherwise avoid if not for the perfect cami. With such a wide variety of styles available from designers, it’s fairly easy to locate this staple at any price point.[nemus_slider id="53392"]TSALT has a wonderful selection from Gold Hawk this fall. If you haven’t heard of Gold Hawk, the brand has made it their mission to provide women with a quality garment designed with elegance, incredible fit, and timelessness.The colors you’ll see at TSALT are in luscious, rich shades like navy, green, steel, and ochre.So just how do you incorporate a beautiful camisole into your wardrobe? Below are a few tips and inspirational looks that I hope will prompt a trip to TSALT where you can explore the beauty of Gold Hawk camisoles.

  • Wear a strapless, smooth-cupped bra underneath your camisole for a polished look.
  • Wear a silk camisole under a buttoned up blazer or cardigan at the office for a hint of feminine charm.
  • Tuck your camisole into a ladylike skirt and pair with heels, booties, or sneakers; think of it like your cotton tank but more elevated for fall.
  • A simple pairing of a lace-trimmed camisole with the antithesis of boyfriend jeans or a wide-leg trouser will balance your masculine and feminine sides.
  • Wear a silk camisole with a kimono or robe-style jacket and jeans for a bohemian vibe.
  • Keep it loose — a camisole with a more float-y, relaxed fit will ultimately be more flattering. Keep that skin-to-fabric ratio in mind.
  • Keep in mind the overall look you are going for. Tight jeans may not be the best choice for a camisole. A looser fitting pant will keep the look balanced.
  • If you are fuller busted, opt for lace trims on a more substantial, tank-like cami with thicker straps, or wear it as the underpinning with a jacket or sweater. Also, consider a cami with a more conservative, straight-across neckline. Don't forget to accessorize your neckline with a series of simple necklaces or a classic choker.
  • Silk and crepe camisoles should be hand washed in a delicate detergent (dry flat) or dry cleaned to preserve the color, shape, and fit.
