I love, love, love getting questions from readers. This one came through earlier this week, and I thought it was a GREAT fashion question.
Here goes…
I wear a lot of t-shirts, especially in the summer, and more and more they are sheer t-shirts, like this one:
… which I love, but which is super see-through. The way I’ve been handling this is to wear a tank/camisole underneath it in white, but is there some more fashion-forward solution I’m missing? Would you suggest a nude camisole, or just a nude bra?
I LOVE this question because I have the same fashion dilemma with a bunch of my cotton tees – short and long sleeve. I would suggest trying NUDE (as you mentioned) – but only under the darker colors where it wears better. I would also suggest – which is what I did this summer – looking for some dark brown, gray and pink camisoles. Especially when you’re wearing a white tee – you can see the color of the camisole underneath very clearly, so having a color like brown, gray or a pink gives it that subtle, but chic, look. Having white and black sometimes makes a sheer tee appear even more see-through, or like you left home without looking in a mirror!
I know what you mean about the bras… I would stay away from just doing a bra – simply because, as you said, these tees can be super see-through.
Try some other colors in the camisole department for a fashion statement. I promise, you’ll love the look.
Thanks SO MUCH for the question!
Oh, thanks so much for answering this! Great idea on the alternative colors–I will look into some pink and brown ones today!
