Camis - YouLookFab Forum

Shopping in my closet has brought a problem to my attention: I'm severely lacking in camis, and I really need them. A lot of my tops and some dresses require a cami because they dip down too low. I'm trying to determine which colors I should get. I'm looking for a minimal amount of colors that will work for most of my tops. The camis I have now are from H&M but I would like to replace them with a few that are better quality.

Here are some of the tops/dresses I wear a lot (or want to wear a lot) that need camis:

The print is yellow and green.

I also have these 2 cardigans that would be a lot more comfortable in the spring with camis:

And also a teal marled cardigan which I don't have a picture of, but it has little flecks of orange and pink.

I was thinking I definitely want citron, black, yellow, and white. Is there anything else? And where can I find a good selection of colors? I know Express has them but I hate the feel of shelf bras, especially in the summer. It's just too much fabric for me, and also tends to squash my chest. I also like some kind of detailing at the neckline, but I can live without it if I get the colors I want.

Thanks!

The cami colors I reach for the most are white, black, mossy/grassy green, pink, and light blue. As a matter of fact, I just picked up 2 more white camis because I find 1 isn't enough.

I have to admit that I think of camis as disposable garments and don't spend a lot of money on them. As long as they fall at my hip, I'm happy. The last batch I got at Target, and they do have them w/out the shelf bra. If you want a better quality one, then check out BareNecessities.Com and Figleaves.Com

I think that your color choices are OK, maybe add orange in there? And I agree with Nicole on needing more than one white cami, I have three and still find sometimes when I need one that they are all in the dirty laundry!

The yellow cami I just bought bough was from Nordstrom's BP department, it was $12, has no shelf-bra and comes in gazillion of colors! Here it is online, and it comes in 20 or so more colors in the store!

I have had a lot off difficulties finding citron and finally got one at J Jill:

Good colour choices, Maya. Throw in turquoise.

I'm hoping to get all my camis from one place. It's not the kind of thing I want to spend a lot of time on, to be honest. The citron cami will be the hardest, so I might have to make that the exception. Maybe I'll have to make a special trip to the BP dept.

I have a few BP camis and they do the job.

Sorry to be such a dunce, but I don't have a Nordstroms close. What is the BP department?

I believe it's their juniors department.

Thanks, Tanya

Dani, I was just going to ask the same question.
