Even though I run cold, I don't like the Heatech camis under sweaters—I find myself getting too warm when I'm indoors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011581 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 13:36:46 +0000 viva 2011581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am generally not a cami wearer but I am finding that I have a decreasing tolerance for wool (even cashmere) next to my skin -- it's all part of being "of a certain age" and running warmer than I ever have. This is good info for me to file for future use. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011567 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 13:08:27 +0000 Beth Ann 2011567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the detailed recommendation!&nbsp; I wear a cami under my tops all year round, but sometimes it would be better to have sleeves for just the reasons you mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011544 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 11:46:24 +0000 April 2011544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Uniqlo can be maddening in their color options.&nbsp; Their HeatTechs, for example, come in a true white for men but only a cream/ivory for women.&nbsp; Go figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011515 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:37:20 +0000 Adriana 2011515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I discovered something similar. The German brand Mey had camis in its sale in all kind of strange colors like taupe, beige and other palish brownish mix. To try the shape I bought a few, because cheap. And then I learned how much easier these colors were to wear onder colored sweaters than my usual black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011513 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:26:26 +0000 Greyscale 2011513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read partway through your post and was about to suggest Uniqlo!</p> <p>Sometimes they also have beige nylon seamless Airism undershirts for women. They’re not the usual Airism fabric. The beige is a little darker than my pale skin so they’re not perfectly invisible, and they’re very light so they won’t provide much smoothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011457 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 22:48:45 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2011457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea. Thanks for the tip and the review! Layering under clothing is something I've come to rely on, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011448 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 22:11:51 +0000 The Cat 2011448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting solution. Thank you for reminding me to look in men's departments for certain HEWIs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011424 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 21:01:52 +0000 Style Fan 2011424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea.&nbsp; I have a couple of old tanks and camis that are hanging in.&nbsp; I dread the day I have to replace them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011249 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 03:09:19 +0000 Anonymous 2011249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use cheapie Target tanks under blouses and everything. They are a available in an ever-changing variety of colors. So I stock up when something nude like blush or beige is available. White under white is a crisp clean look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011239 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 02:34:12 +0000 RobinF 2011239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know! I’ll have to check them out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi---underlayer-for-blouses#post-2011231 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 02:21:30 +0000 ChrisM 2011231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a huge fan of the crisp white shirt, but have struggled to find the proper under layers. Years ago LLBean sold short sleeve (not sleeveless), v-neck silk pointelle tees in a nude color, which were perfect under layers. Lightweight and invisible under my shirts, they protected my shirts from antiperspirant stains, smoothed out the lumpy bits without compression and help hide any gaping in the bust area. Yes, they were pricey, but I wore them to bits completely.</p> <p>The key is the color: tee shirts with sleeves are rarely offered in a beige/nude doesn’t show under my white shirts.</p> <p>I finally found a suitable replacement: Uniqlo’s men’s beige v-neck undershirts, Airism for warmer weather and Heatech for cooler. </p> <p>They are offered in a beige color, and best yet, the price is so very reasonable. The Airism tee is mesh with no hems, so it lays nice and flat on the sleeves and on the neckline. The v-neck is deep enough to fall below my top button. No hem on the bottom also allows it to lie flat when I tuck.</p> <p>I also wear them under sweaters or silk shirts for the same reasons. I find that they help protect the outer shirt/sweater from body odor and oils and the tops stay fresher longer.</p> <p>I have a 43” bust (size US 14 usually, and I’m 5’10”) and chose a size men’s large. They are fairly long in length, but it works for me.</p> <p>(Is it weird that their women’s Airism tees aren’t offered in beige?)</p> <p>Anyway, I thought I would share since there have been several discussions on button front shirts lately - these men’s undershirts solve some of my issues. </p>
