the Carina top
Explanation:
Carina is the brand name of a popular figure-hugging top that most girls & young women in Egypt wear nowadays, usually with something else on top in a layered look. It has become sort of a generic term for any top of that type, since Carina introduced it to the Egyptian market.

Forgoet to add that girls in Egypt call that top "body". So it's natural to say I'll wear "el body el Carina".
