Which undershirt should you choose for the summer season?

Summer is upon us, and it is time to put the wool thermal tops away in favor of lighter and more breathable materials. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the differences between our thermal tops in cotton, silk, and microfiber – materials that are particularly well suited for the warmer months due to their temperature-regulating properties.

We review the different ranges from Hanro and Oscalito while also presenting the types of thermal tops we carry – both with and without padding.

HANRO COTTON SEAMLESS

The Cotton Seamless top from Swiss Hanro is a staple on the hangers in Grønnegade, and for good reason. The camisole is made of smooth-woven 100% long-staple OE-TEX cotton and features a classic V-neckline. This is the version with thin spaghetti straps that can be adjusted in length, but we also have a tank top in the range made from the same lovely breathable material. The tank top has no side seams, wider non-adjustable straps and a round neckline. The Cotton Seamless range from Hanro comes in the basics of black, white and beige, but we also regularly stock the range in beautiful fashion colours. There are also briefs in the range. The Cotton Seamless range runs slightly longer and a little larger in size than the camisoles from Oscalito. All styles in the Cotton Seamless range are shown below.

HANRO COTTON SEAMLESS PADDED

In addition to the classic Cotton Seamless camisole, there is also a wireless padded version. The removable padding version has the exact same cut as the classic spaghetti top—the only difference is the removable cup padding. We have this version in stock in black, white, and beige. There is also a Hanro camisole with underwire and padded cups, which you can see further down in this blog post.

HANRO ULTRALIGHT

Like the Cotton Seamless collection, the Ultralight collection is made of smooth-woven, high-quality cotton, but the Ultralight collection has thinner fabric and is therefore ideal for those who want a slightly lighter base layer. The camisole is made of 100% mercerized cotton, which is lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying. The tank top has no side seams and is similar in fit to the one in Cotton Seamless, but the Ultralight spaghetti top has a straight/rounded neckline instead of a V-neck. Like the Cotton Seamless collection, the Ultralight collection runs larger in size and is slightly longer than camisoles from Oscalito.

OSCALITO OPERATINO

The Operatino collection from Italian Oscalito is made of 100% pure Egyptian Makò mercerized cotton (Filoscozia®). The Operatino collection is particularly known for its fine rib knit with an openwork pattern, which makes it slightly sheer. The top is seamless and comes in several different colors, as well as in a long-sleeved version. The undershirts from Oscalito are slightly smaller and shorter than those from Hanro. All styles from Oscalito are produced in Italy with great care and respect for craftsmanship.

OSCALITO SILK

Here we see a tank top from Oscalito in 100% pure GOTS-certified silk. The top is made of a dense rib knit that hugs the body. The camisole also features a rounded neckline with an edge trimmed in shiny silk satin. In addition to its beautiful appearance, silk is known for its excellent temperature-regulating properties, and a silk camisole is both breathable and lightly cooling during the warmer months of the year. A pure silk spaghetti-strap top and a pair of briefs are also available. See all silk styles below. All styles from the Italian brand Oscalito are produced in Italy at the brand's own factory.

HANRO TOUCH FEELING

The Touch Feeling collection from Swiss Hanro offers this body-hugging tank top in addition to tops and shorts. The collection is made from a smooth, soft, and stretchy microfiber that wraps around the body. All styles feature a seamless construction with no side seams. We always stock the collection in basic colors, and we regularly receive it in beautiful fashion colors. See all styles from the Touch Feeling collection below.

HANRO ALLURE

The Allure camisole from Hanro is perfect for those days when you want a bra and camisole in one. The top features built-in underwire and lightly padded cups, which provide support like a bra, as well as a nice shape for the bust. Here our model is seen in the camisole in size 75B. The camisole can be used in the classic sense, but it can also be styled and used as part of an outfit. We have the camisole in stock in beige, black, and white from cup A-D.
