When it comes to wearing body hugging clothes and slinky fabrics, having a foundation garment such as shapewear can help to smooth and contour your silhouette. This will definitely give your confidence a boost.
What Is Shapewear?
Shapewear is a type of undergarment that helps to create a smooth silhouette and sculpt your figure. Made with nylon and spandex, shapewear offers extra support and compression. It is is highly popular as it offers an instant slimming effect. Shapewear is designed to help your clothes fit better no matter if you wear them on a daily basis or on special occasions. These magical undergarments are available in a variety of forms. You can buy a shapewear to contour your waist, thighs, arms, or hips. If you want an all-in-one shapewear, then a full body shaper is perfect.
How To Pick The Right Shapewear Style?
Choose Your Size
Some people choose a smaller size shapewear thinking that it will give them a sculpted look. This is wrong because an ill-fitting shapewear will create bulges and lumps. Instead, choose shapewear with high compression, the actual size that you wear for your regular clothes and you will look sleeker without any discomfort. Shapewear sizes are the same as the regular clothes, for example, if you wear a medium dress, you should pick a medium size shapewear.
Choose Styles That Enhance Your Body Shape
Everyone has a different body shape so you have to know what body shape you belong to and pick a shapewear that suit it the best.
An apple-shaped woman will have heavier upper body, short torso and narrow hips. A cami is an ideal choice to not only smoothen love handles and compress your bust, it will also give the illusion of a longer torso.
For pear-shaped women, they will have wider hips with waist measurements just slightly less than the waist measurements. A high-waist thigh shaper pants is great for targeting love handles, muffin tops, the butt and thighs.
Women with hourglass body have bust and hip measurements that correspond to each other. Usually the problem areas are the lower belly so a bodysuit is the most ideal for this figure type. It will offer seamless smoothening, lift and help to increase confidence.
What Will You Be Wearing?
The next step is to figure out what outfit you will be wearing the shapewear with. Would you be wearing a body-hugging dress like bodycon or would it be pants? Does your dress have a plunging neckline or low back? The U-shape shapewear is what you should add to the cart. If you want to give your curve hugging pants a boost, then it is a good idea to invest in a pair of body shaper buttock lifter that offers tummy control as well as giving your derriere a little lift.
