What do you wear under your...

White cami's?

Nothing?  Bra?  Other?

 Can you suggest your bra or other item.  I have two bra's that I've tried and I just don't like they way they look under my cami...Thanks!

Anyone can be cool, but awesome takes practice!

    I wear black or dark bras under white. I'd wear nothing or double up the cami and wear two, but I have boobs and I could never go braless!

    Black or dark under white??  Unless you have dark skin then I don't understand this.  OP, you should wear nude under white, whatever color nude matches your skin tone.

     

    ETA:  you'll want a smooth t-shirt type bra, something plain without a lot of lace or embellishments.

    It's a tip a got in my much younger bra wearing days when I basically only wore/had white bras and it was showing through everything. I am African American, but light in skin tone (think slightly lighter than beyonce, but i have more yellow undertones). Depending on what shade the beige or tan bra is, they do come close to my skin tone, but dark bras (and undies for that matter-no pattern) have always worked best for me. And I'm hyper aware of my undergarments showing through. BUT, I will say that if it's a spaghetti strapped top, the black strap will show b/c the straps of the tank aren't big enough to cover them, and that's annoying. 

    I also tend to wear heavier tanks, both alone and under certain things like button downs. If the fabric is really thin or sheer that could affect things. Here's a site i found doing a quick google search on my phone about it.

    I always wear nude color bras under anything white, in a color that relatively close to my skin tone.  In particular, I prefer the Body by Victoria Secret line as it is relatively seemless.

    Interesting!  I always figured nude to mean something in the peach-beige-brown family but I guess it totally depends on what blends with your skin the best.

  • I bought a white 'foundation" cami at Kohl's which gives me the support of a bra and looks nice under my sheer tops.

  • A black bra won't show underneath a white can...except for the straps, of course.
