What makes the best cami with a built-in bra
-
Padded cups that stay put
Look for padded cups that are sewn in. They stay in place in the wash, so there is nothing to fix. Kischt Aurelle has smooth molded cups on a soft elastic band.
-
Thin straps that adjust
Kischt has thin spaghetti straps with small metal sliders. Use them to raise or lower the shelf bra for a better fit.
-
A smooth front for layering
A smooth lining covers the shelf bra, so no bra lines or bra straps show. That makes it easy to wear under a cardigan, blazer or open shirt.
-
Fabric for warm and cool days
Kischt uses smooth nylon and elastane jersey with moderate stretch. It is light on warm days. When it is cool, it is an easy extra layer. It is not cotton.
-
Your size and length
Kischt Aurelle comes in 9 sizes, XS to 5XL. It is hip-length and fits close to the body. If you are between sizes, pick the larger one and check the size guide.
-
Easy care
Hand wash it, or machine wash it cold in a laundry bag. Use a gentle cycle. Reshape the cups and lay it flat to dry.
How to wear it from day to evening
Wear it alone with jeans or trousers. Add a cardigan when it is cool. Slip it under a blazer for work or dinner.
For evenings, try Noir or Cerise. The Evening Trio has black, burgundy and gray. The bra is built in, so there is no extra bra to hide.
