Second-Skin Wide Straps Cami
The Second-Skin Wide Straps Cami is a fitted, sleeveless camisole from the Contemporaine by Simons line, exclusively designed in Canada. It is made from a soft, stretch body-shaping microfibre jersey with a double-layer construction for an opaque, smooth matte finish, featuring wide shoulder straps, a scoop neckline, and a straight hem. This camisole is intended to be worn as a form-fitting base layer or minimalist top, providing coverage and shaping through its stretch fabric and semi-fitted silhouette.

Product Insights
The Second-Skin Wide Straps Cami from Contemporaine (39 CAD, in stock) is made from 94% reprocessed polyamide, offering a silkier and cooler handfeel than polyester microfibre, with a double layer that adds body without restriction. It provides moderate compression, four-way stretch with good recovery, and pilling resistance, allowing use as a base layer under low-cut tops or standalone. The main tradeoffs involve opacity—lighter colors may become sheer under bright light or stretch—and required care: avoid fabric softener, bleach, and tumble drying to preserve elasticity and moisture-wicking ability.
Verified claims
- Care
- Spandex degrades above 60°C; use a steamer and air-dry to preserve elasticity.
- Chemical avoidance
- Avoid fabric softener and bleach to maintain fiber performance and shape.
- Opacity
- The double-layer construction is intended to make the cami opaque across all colors, but the manufacturer cannot guarantee that Off White and Sand won't show through under bright light or when stretched.
- Sizing
- Order usual size for fitted look; size up for less snug.
- Fabric feel
- Reprocessed polyamide feels silkier and cooler than polyester microfibre.
- Fabric handfeel
- The recycled polyamide microfibre feels as silky as virgin nylon, with a double layer that adds body without restriction.
- Breathability
- Microfibre fabric breathes through microscopic yarn gaps, but fabric softener reduces moisture-wicking by up to 50%.
- Recycled content
- 94% reprocessed polyamide (recycled nylon) is molecularly identical to virgin nylon, with a silkier, cooler handfeel than polyester microfibre.
- Pilling resistance
- Nylon microfibre resists pilling, keeping the cami's sleek appearance longer.
- Layering
- Double-layer opacity and wide straps allow the cami to be worn as a base layer under low-cut tops or as a standalone top.
- Fit and shape
- The body-shaping fabric is moderately compressive with 4-way stretch; sizing up reduces snugness.
- Stretch recovery
- Fabric stretches four ways and recovers its shape after each wear.
- Heat degradation
- Tumble drying causes progressive, irreversible damage to stretch recovery.
- Shaping comfort
- The moderately compressive fabric smooths and shapes without being restrictive.
- Warm-weather weight
- The double-layer fabric can feel heavy in hot weather, but buyers still describe it as a great layering piece.
- Length
- Several buyers report the cami runs short, especially for longer torsos.
- Static
- At least one buyer experienced static shocks with the double-layer fabric.
- Waist fit
- On curvy body types, the cami can gather up at the waist; sizing up may reduce the cling.

Pas pour moi
Trop court et la doublure tourne au bas.
Trop court
Beau tissu et belle coupe, mais trop court.
Un must!
OMG, incroyable. . . tout le monde devrais avoir ceci comme base. Parfait sous un veston propre ou avec un jeans. J'ai acheté en magasin un ballon et me suis dé. pêchée à en acheté un noir en ligne après. Je porte entre le M-L dans mes tops et le L épouse bien mon corps sans être trop serré.
Bien
Belle couleur. Tissu épais, en double.
Very nice camisole
Double layer, comfortable camisole in a lovely colour.
Superbe
confortable, souple et très belle qualité. J’ai fait venir un autre couleur.
Too clingy at the waist
It was a nice fit up top. I thought it would be looser below the bust, but it gathers up at the waist if you're curvy. Maybe a size up would help?? I don't like to fuss with my clothes. So, I'm passing it on.

Matériel très soyeux
Cette camisole me va comme un gant. La couleur (vert pomme) est très belle.
Not great
The layered fabric is heavy and the colour is quite dull when you see it in person. Prone to lots of static shocks and shorter than I expected.
