How to Find the Best Body Shapewear for you
Why Shapewear Isn’t Just for Special Occasions Anymore
There was a time when shapewear was reserved only for weddings, red carpets, or other once-in-a-while events. But times have changed—modern women are embracing shapewear as a part of their everyday wardrobe. It’s not just about appearance; it’s about comfort, confidence, and support that lasts all day.
If you’re new to the world of shapewear or looking to explore more options, here’s everything you need to know to find your perfect fit—one that matches your lifestyle and helps you feel your best, every day.
What Is Shapewear?
Shapewear, also known as body shapers, is designed to create a smooth, seamless base under your clothing. It gently contours your body, smooths visible lines, and provides targeted support in areas like the tummy, waist, hips, and thighs.
But it’s more than just shaping. The right shapewear can give you that extra boost of confidence, whether you're heading to work, out for coffee, or dressing up for a night out.
Choosing the Right Shapewear for Your Body
Full Body shapewear
Looking for all-over shaping and support? Full body shapewear is your go-to. Covering from the bust down to the hips, these styles often include built-in bras and offer various levels of compression—from light, breathable options for everyday wear to firmer styles for more formal occasions. Perfect under fitted dresses or any outfit that hugs your silhouette.
Bermuda Slim
Need smoothing through your hips and thighs? Bermuda-style shapewear or thigh slimmers provide extended coverage, helping to avoid visible lines while supporting your lower half. High-waisted options are great for a seamless look under skirts, trousers, or body-hugging dresses.
Waist Corset
For defined waistline control, a waist corset delivers. These pieces offer firm support with structured boning and are ideal for creating a sculpted, hourglass effect. Choose from traditional hook-and-eye closures or modern pull-on designs. They're great under tops and dresses—especially when you want to wear your own bra and panties
Shaping Panties
Simple, comfortable, and effective—shaping panties are a wardrobe staple. Available in many cuts (yes, even thongs), they smooth your midsection with light to firm support. Some include curve-enhancing padding, while others feature beautiful lace details to keep things stylish and feminine.
