A camisole, also known as a cami, is an article of women’s clothing that is designed to be worn under another garment such as a sweater or blazer. Some can also be worn alone, but traditionally they are worn as an undergarment. They are sleeveless, typically having spaghetti straps, and they are similar to a tank top. The main difference between a camisole and a tank top is that typically the camisole is usually more refined in appearance and has delicate details. A tank top also usually has a scoop neckline while a camisole is straight across.

Camisoles are available in a wide variety of styles. Many feature built-in bras. The built-in bra is often a simple shelf style, but some camis do have built-in underwire bras. Many underwire camisoles feature wider straps also and are designed with larger busted women in mind. Backless or low-back camisoles are also available and are popular for wearing under dresses with an open or low-cut back. Some camisoles also have body shaping features.
