The Winkee: Not What It Looks Like



Winkee

Meet The Winkee, fashion fans. Yes, we know it looks like a pair of knickers stretched over a bra. Be serious, though: would we show you a pair of knickers stretched over a bra in the name of fashion? (Answer: Yup, we totally would.) No, this Winkee has a practical purpose: it attaches to your bra, allowing you to wear low-cut tops without fear of flashing your cleavage. To everyone else, you'll look just like you're wearing a vest or cami top under your sweater - you, alone, will know that you're wearing The Winkee.

Winkees are $15 each, and come in a couple of different styles and colours. Couldn't you just wear an actual vest under your sweater, though, and achieve the same result, we hear you ask? Well, we guess you could. But would that be as much fun as wearing a Winkee?

I love it! What a great idea. Especially in the summer, where two tops would get really hot and sticky. At least this is lightweight. I'd totally wear one.

I just bought a WINKEE..& it totally saved me from a professional faux paus...I wore my favorite dress to an important work related event and felt SOOOOOOO cool, & colllected..didn't even know I had it on..& fooled everyone!
Thank you for spreading the workd about this weird, but fabulous product!

This is a pretty good idea. I have some low-cut tops that I can't wear to work because when I throw a cami on underneath, I look bulky in the waist. This would neatly solve that problem.

Wouldn't this qualify as clothing pretending to be other items of clothing though? I thought that was frowned upon. If anything, the bra and fake cami should at least be the same color.

Well, since the point is to *hide* the bra, they don't really have to match, do they? I've actually made something similar for myself, didn't know you could buy them... Technically, I guess, this isn't really fashion - but it's damn practical..

Just to clarify: the bra doesn't actually come with the "Winkee" - so it's basically up to you to buy one that matches your bra, if that's what you want to do.

I love my Winkees! Wear them more than I thought. The great thing is they let you decide if "less" is "more". They are lightweight and easy to remove if you want to go from conservative to vava voom in less than 5 sec. without changing clothes.
Another reason for showing the Winkee up against a different color bra is so you can actually see what it is. A Bblack Winkee on black bra could confuse viewer as to what the product is, so the contrast is necessary for product description. When you get your Winkees home, you can pair them up with similar colored bras.

This is like Chic Peeks by MYSS. They are almost the same, but Chic Peeks attach inside your low cut blouse instead of the bra. I personally like this way!!! Plus they come in so many different colors.

Winkees are the best invention ever! I at first bought somethng else for plunging necklines that someone mentioned was "almost the samething." They were sticky, itchy, triangle inserts. And When I bent over, you could still see right down my blouse!! It did not solve the problem at all & it was SO expensive for what I got!
I highly recommend the Winkee if anyone needs, or wants to wear their low cut dresses, or tops to work!
Thank you, Fashion Police for turning me on to the Winkee, because now I am getting SO many uses out of my wardrobe!

I just got a Winkee! I LOVE it! I was back on thier site this a.m to buy more. I love that it attaches to your bra so it moves with you. I even forgot I had it on! Girls this is a must!!
