Camisoles are a shining example of wardrobe staples. As far as versatility goes, the garment is a workhorse. It’s a layer, it’s an undergarment, it’s a top all on its own. Wear it to work with a blazer, fall asleep in a cotton tank, or turn up the sex appeal with a lace trim. There’s a cami for every occasion, and thank goodness for that.

There’s a lot of room for interpretation on the subject. A cami can be fitted or flowing, seen or unseen. It evades a singular definition. Like so many other things (beach sandals or travel shoes, for example), you just know one when you see one. No matter what you need it for, there’s a good chance you’ll find the perfect one below. I narrowed it down to the 19 best camisoles that meet all your needs, here.
