Camisole

Deutsch: Camisole / Español: camisola / Português: camisola / Français: camisole / Italiano: canottiera

Camisole refers to a lightweight, Sleeveless undergarment for women, typically extending to the waist. Traditionally worn under clothing for modesty or to protect finer garments from body oils and sweat, camisoles have evolved into versatile fashion items that can be worn both as undergarments and as outerwear.

Description

In the fashion context, the camisole is known for its simple, unstructured design, which usually includes thin spaghetti straps and a straightforward cut. Modern camisoles may be made from a variety of fabrics, including silk, satin, cotton, or synthetic materials, and often feature decorative elements such as lace, embroidery, or appliqués. They are designed to offer comfort and a smooth silhouette under clothing but can also be styled as part of an outer ensemble, providing a soft, feminine look.

Camisoles are incredibly versatile and can be worn in numerous ways in contemporary fashion. They serve as a layering piece under sheer tops or jackets, can be paired with jeans for a casual look, or dressed up under a suit for professional attire.

Application Areas

Camisoles are prevalent in both the lingerie and mainstream fashion sectors. They are staples in many women's wardrobes due to their functionality and comfort. In high fashion, designers often incorporate luxurious fabrics and intricate details into camisole designs, making them suitable for wear in more formal settings.

Well-Known Examples

Camisoles have been featured prominently on the runway in collections by designers like Calvin Klein and Diane von Fürstenberg, who have showcased them as symbols of Minimalist chic and relaxed elegance. They are also a common garment in collections by lingerie brands like La Perla, where they are crafted from fine silks and laces.

Similar Terms

Related terms include tank top, slip, and lingerie top. While tank tops are generally more casual and often made from cotton or jersey, slips are similar to camisoles but are longer, typically worn under dresses or skirts to prevent clinging and to ensure a smooth silhouette.

Summary

A camisole is a lightweight, sleeveless garment that functions as both an undergarment and a fashionable piece of clothing. Its adaptability and ease of wear make it a perennial favorite in women's fashion, suitable for a range of styles from casual to sophisticated.
