Undershirts for Women – Guide

Short answer: A good undershirt for women has to be thin, soft and invisible under your clothes, and it has to keep you warm without making you sweat. Undershirts in bamboo viscose meet all four requirements and are gentle on sensitive skin at the same time.

What a women's undershirt has to do

The undershirt is the layer that sits directly against your skin all day. It therefore has to feel soft, fit closely without squeezing and handle both warm offices and cold bus stops. Bamboo viscose regulates temperature and moves moisture away, so you avoid that clammy feeling. See the full selection of bamboo undershirts for women.

Choose a style to match your needs

With straps, the undershirt is invisible under most clothes and an obvious choice under blouses and dresses. With short or long sleeves it becomes a warming base layer in winter, which you can read more about in the guide to the bamboo undershirt as a base layer. Under dresses, a bamboo slip can be a better choice, because it also smooths the transition at the waist.

Undershirts for sensitive skin

Does wool itch, and does polyester irritate? Bamboo viscose has smooth fibres with no scratchy ends and is therefore a gentle choice for sensitive skin. Read why in bamboo clothing for sensitive skin, and add to your wardrobe with bamboo tops for women, which can be worn both as an inner and an outer layer.
