Welcome to The Essentials, our weekly series highlighting a must-have classic, key to building a timeless, pulled-together closet.

A wardrobe must-have, the camisole comes in a wide variety of fabric and styles. There's nothing a camisole can't do: You can try a sexy, slinky cami for a night out on the town, or take the modest route by layering a blazer on top for a work-appropriate look. We've rounded up our favorite new camisoles for every season and destination—from the classic silk camisole, an elevated basic, to a sexy bustier-style floral cami.

Zadig & Voltaire Christy Lace Trim Silk Camisole

There's nothing like a foolproof outfit, and a lace camisole is the trusty night out item that always works. Pair this top with some jeans and strappy heels and you automatically have a look. A lace cami is also a great base layer for fun jackets and blazers.

Lightweight silk fabric and a feminine floral design makes this camisole a great summer top for outdoor celebrations, like baby or bridal showers.

All of Aisling Camp's pieces are handmade and knit to order in Brooklyn, New York. The Kora top is great for a chic summer outfit. Complete the look with the Ariel Skirt.

This dainty top has a bit of '90s nostalgia. Go full aughts and pair this bad boy with some low rise jeans, kitten heels, and tiny sunnies. Another option sans low rise jeans: some mom jeans, cute chunky sneakers, and gold hoops.

Delicate bows bring a feminine and romantic feel to this versatile, light pink camisole. It’ll look just as great paired with slouchy jeans as it will with slip skirts or silk trousers.
