A camisole can be a bra-strap minefield. This Michelle Obama-approved alternative has more substance
I don’t really approve of underwear as outerwear. I don’t mean this in a puritanical way. I’m certainly not slut-shaming anyone here. I just have a low opinion of it as a genre, in the same way that I have a low opinion of sleeveless knitwear (comfortable in absolutely no weather situation, so what’s the point?) and of contrast white collars on colourful clothes (unless they detach so that you can wash them separately, these look good for a maximum of three laundry cycles).
Clothes should make your day easier and a spaghetti-strap camisole, or one of those flimsy cotton vests, is a bra-strap minefield. Even if by some miracle the front straps behave themselves and sit flush over your underwear, the back view is almost always a spaghetti-junction mess. Half-dressed just isn’t a vibe that works for me – nothing to do with the raunch factor, but because clean lines always look more chic.
