Definition of a cami

From Casey, for About.com

Definition: A cami, short for camisole, used to be worn under clothing, but with the underwear-as-outerwear trend years ago, camis have become essential. They're very similar to tanks, but usually have skinnier straps, thinner fabric, and a briefer cut. Right now these pretty tops are just right for layering.
Pronunciation: cam-ee
Also Known As: Camisole
