Here are some lingerie items you can wear to keep cool -- yet still remain sexy.

Camisoles

If there is ever a time when camisoles are at a fashion high, it is now. More and more women are partnering these sleeveless and spaghetti-strapped tops with jeans, capris and shorts for casual wear or a skirt and jacket for the office. Long gone are the days when a camisole was strictly worn like an undershirt or only behind closed doors. A cute cami can take the place of a bra if it's worn under a sundress, sweater or layered with another camisole. Remember, once you discard the everyday clothing, and you can still have sexy and comfortable camisoles that look and feel good in the bedroom.
