There are a variety of lightweight fabrics available for warmer weather and all-day comfort. Need to go strapless? Choose a garment that provides extra support even without the straps. Being familiar with your natural body type and knowing how to enhance it is a huge determining factor when picking the most flattering shapewear for you.
What every figure needs is 1. Some women to create curves while others need to minimize and control them. For starters, every body type can benefit from tummy-taming options like waist trainers , but there are many options. When shaping your lower half, determine whether you need more lifting and shaping versus smoothing and controlling.
An open-bottom or padded shaper can create instant curves, while a maximum compression mid-thigh shaper or bodysuit can help you keep it all under tight control. Are you wearing a dress? A shaping slip might be just the thing you need to create that smooth silhouette that is ideal for the dress to flow over.
For more targeted shaping and control, there are many options in bodysuits that offer all-over coverage. Did you know you can get powerful, seamless midsection slimming with the discreetness of a thong back? You can also prevent panty lines with a shaper that provides coverage to the mid-thigh , although take note of how long your skirt is. You can never go wrong with a waist cincher or corset , which can help you fit into a size or two smaller and emphasize a narrow waist.
For weddings and other formals, a longline bra or bustier is a favorite for reliable strapless support. Their hooks and clasps could get caught and cause tears. Whenever you want! Some women wear shapewear everyday, others only for special events. It often depends on the type of shapewear and its compression or control level. Medium-control shapewear can also be worn everyday, offers a little more support and is all about emphasising your curves.
There are also plenty of options for the best plus sized shapewear. Lastly, firm control is for your most structured garments evening gowns, wedding and cocktail dresses and helps you feel sturdy and contoured.
Yes, you can wear shapewear while pregant, but this comes with a few important caveats. It depends the type of shapewear worn, when you wear it and for how long.
As with anything, moderation is key. Shapewear that is too tight or worn for too long is a no-go as it will put too much pressure on the body, not to mention feel horribly uncomfortable. Shop for your correct size and avoid shapewear that squeezes and compresses your internal organs, ribs, or abdominal muscles—such as waist trainers or cinchers.
If you're in any doubt, double check with your doctor or midwife. If you have been given the go-ahead look for maternity specific shapewear. Control thongs are your best friends when it comes to skinny or slim fitting jeans and trousers. Shaping slips are perfect for tight, bodycon dresses. Under skirts, shaping shorts create a smooth silhouette from waist to thigh. Unpacked your Christmas tree or decorations to find that all your lights have gone?
There really is no watershed moment for deciding that you no longer want to struggle into one of those pairs of flesh-toned shorts and "Power Panties"—it's more of a cumulative thing, a barrage of moments like picking the nylon out of your buttcrack in the middle of five-star restaurant, or sneaking off to a bathroom to readjust the shaper that's settled onto the wrong part of your thigh and rubbed a wicked blister.
Since that day, I haven't forced myself back into Spanx once, and surprisingly, my wardrobe has gotten so much better. The first time I left the house in a dress with no Spanx, no shaper, no Lycra on my thighs at all, was equally liberating and terrifying.
As a girl who didn't wear many dresses growing up, not unless forced, I was convinced that I would be showing my entire ass literally to someone when the wrong gust of wind came. Even knee-length skirts felt like they could become scandalous at any second. Once discarded by teen-me as too feminine and fussy, I didn't realize just how much a comfortable maxi or skater dress felt just like pajamas when you haven't crammed your belly and thighs into a piece of fabric that is too small to contain them underneath.
I hadn't owned a dress since my mother was buying them for me, and now I have a closet full of them. I even bought a pair of shorts, something that was never a possibility before because they couldn't be worn without a pair of shaping shorts underneath. My body is the largest that it has ever been, and at this point in my life, I am able to wear more things than I could even when I was younger and thinner.
Still, I haven't thrown the Spanx or any of the other shapers I own into the garbage just yet. They still fill nearly an entire drawer. I see the nude, slgihtly shimmery Power Panties every time I change clothes, and I remember what they can do on days when your thighs feel too bumpy and your belly too big. There is occasionally a twinge that tells me I should put them back on, that my body deserves to be hidden from sight as effectively as possible, no matter how uncomfortable it is.
In the back of my mind, it seems as if there could always be some occasion, some outfit that could make me start sucking it all back in again.
