Are you looking for ways to maximize your wardrobe and add romance, excitement, and flair to your look? Enter the cami, evolved from the somewhat shapeless satin piece found under the boxy jackets and full suits of the ’90s, to become a fashion piece in its own right—once again. The camisole has been a staple of women's fashion since the Victorian age when it was worn over the corset. These pieces, which could be seen peeking through in a similar fashion to the petticoat, were intricately designed and crafted with lace and fancy work.  

By the 1920s, the cami came into full view, as women daringly (and sometimes scandalously) wore it and their slips out as evening wear while firmly eschewing the corset. This period was a fashion renaissance. Although times were hard, women found solace as they always do in fashion and beauty. As times change, so did the cami. By the prosperous but steady 1950s, the camisole had become again quite sedate and concealed. 

Today, camisoles are coming back into vogue again, designed to be seen, whether worn alone or as a layering piece. Mixing and matching have never been more fun as people pair glam and sporty and have a play with texture, color, and contrast. 

You can have fun with these trends by layering a lighter piece with something heavier, for example, a puffy jacket, or glamming up your jeans or shorts. No matter how you wear it, the cami is a great way to add a splash of interest and drama to any look and to show off your shoulders and arms, and back. 

Today, the camisole can be layered or worn alone—the possibilities for styling are nearly endless. It can even be found layered over sheer blouses and tissue turtlenecks! 

The Style Shark Cami Collection

Moving away from a shapeless boxiness, we take the classic satin and give it a pop of color, using more modern cuts and colors. Icy pastels and metallics are the mood, and the cuts are daring and dramatic. These are stand-alone statement pieces designed with lines that flow to help create a willowy silhouette, or dramatically cropped for a waist-slimming effect—or to show off those hard-earned abs! Necklines are not only boxy, they dip, billow, gather and plunge. While we borrow from some classic shapes and patterns, the execution is absolutely modern! 

From demure to bold, these camis can fit any mood or sexy look—sassy, sweet or sophisticated. 

For a sophisticated look, pair the basic cropped with a pleated mini and some fabulous heels. Throw a fancy wrap on, and dance the night away. 

To bring on the sunshine, wear the light pink ruched bust cami with some high waist jean shorts or a summer skirt for sweet, lazy afternoons. 

Glam it up for a night out on the town (or at home for a more private showing) by pairing this lightweight, airy dream of a backless satin ruffle trim halter top with these curve-hugging high waisted vegan leather pants. 

With styles ranging from barely-there simplicity to full-on glamor, the cami is a great way to express your personality and create instant interest and drama. Style Shark’s Exclusive Cami Collection is modern and edgy, with looks that can go from day to evening and keep the romance going all night. Perfect for dressing up and playing at home, too!

Some tips: 

You can wear a strapless bra, bralette, bandeau, or go sans bra. There are even pasties designed to be worn under clothes if you just need to smooth things down a bit. Layering camis and bras can be a bit tricky, but you can also create some very stunning and unique looks.  

Create contrast with a play of fabric textures, colors, or styles—a glamorous piece with something sporty or professional. 

Wear a cropped cami with a fuller skirt or wider leg and pair a more flowing cami with cigarette pants or skinny jeans. 

You can layer a cami under almost anything, from tailored business jackets to flowing sweaters, shrugs, or peeking out in an off the shoulder sweater or wrap.

Here are some tips for styling a few pieces in the collection:

The Asymmetrical Cami

Accentuate your curves with this style. The dramatic cutout captures the eye. Wear the Asymmetrical Cami with some short shorts or hip slung jeans for a private photo shoot. 

The cropped basic

This simple but versatile style works with almost anything! With yoga pants and a jacket, under any sheer or transparent fabric, or layered under other camis or other tops. Grab a few in your favorite neutrals. You will not regret it!

Bustier-inspired 

A new take on a classic style: Laced up the back with a classic square neckline and ribbon straps, this casual but playful piece can be worn with jeans or joggers, paired with a skirt and sandals, or worn with short shorts for that girl next door sexy.
