Enhance Your Shape

The secret to a winning outfit? What lies beneath. Choosing the right underwear for your clothing can be tricky but our range of lingerie and shapewear solutions, available in an array of nude hues, are the antidote.

What Is Shapewear?

Used for thousands of years in a variety of forms (with earliest recorded pieces dating back to Ancient Greece!), women’s shapewear is any foundation garment designed to shape and contour the body, providing a sleek and streamlined silhouette, accentuating your curves, and helping your clothes fit more flatteringly.

Think of it as your secret weapon for enhancing the fit of your every outfit. From the best shapewear for tummy control to sculpting shapewear, there’s a perfect option for all your shaping desires. So, smooth that silhouette and feel supported through your core for a perfect fit in your favourite jeans dresses, or occasion outfits!

How Does Shapewear Work?

Made with stretch fabrics which combine Spandex, Nylon, Elastane, and Polyamide to ensure comfort and flexibility while also giving the garments the strength they need to feel supportive and controlling, shapewear uses this unique formula for compression to gently sculpt your natural shape. So, what does shapewear do to your body? With the use of these stretch fabrics, shapewear uses smart panelling and tried-and-tested silhouettes to gently compress sections of the body for a smoothed look. This means that you can buy shapewear to target areas like your tummy, waist, and thighs for extra structure in these places so that you look and feel more supported in even your tightest clothes.

Smoothing Shapewear

If the mention of tummy control shapewear conjures up memories of restrictive, movement-limiting options then think again. The best shapewear for women always combines this security with plenty of flexibility so that you can move freely with wear- we don’t believe in compromising on the way you look or feel! Designed with comfort in mind, our seamfree shapewear shorts, shapewear lingerie, thongs and bodysuits will give you clean lines beneath your clothes and banish those pesky VPL’s all while offering a fit so comfortable you’ll almost forget you’re wearing ‘em.

Types Of Shapewear

With so many options available, finding the perfect piece of shapewear might feel like a daunting task, but don’t worry! Whether you’re looking for the best shapewear for tummy control in your everyday looks, body sculpting shapewear for those special occasions, or even the perfect piece for wearing as outerwear for a timeless silhouette à-la your fave influencers, we’ve got the inside scoop. Let’s dive into the different types of body shapers and how to choose the right fit for you.

Shapewear Bodysuit:

Shapewear bodysuits are the superhero of shapewear, offering full-body coverage and control as well as a variety of silhouettes to suit your every need. Whether you’re looking for bra top bodysuits, classic cami-style bodysuit which can be worn hidden or as a shaping alternative to your usual outerwear bodysuits (hello, sculpted look with jeans), a super low-cut bodysuit that works with any neckline, or even a bodysuit that falls to mid-thigh for all-over shaping making it the best shapewear for jumpsuits and dresses.

Shaping Thongs:

If you’re looking for the control of the classic shapewear brief but want a seamless look under your clothes, look no further than the shaping thong! Targeting your tummy and waist while allowing your curves to have their moment free from VPL worries, this updated thong is the best shapewear for summer as it creates a controlled but seam-free appearance under your favourite jeans, bodycon dresses, and skirts.

Shaping Briefs:

Shapewear briefs are a type of full brief which extends up to the waist and falls to above the thighs to effortlessly streamline and sculpt your midriff seamlessly under your outfits. Using panels which target the tummy and waist, they are ideal for creating a smooth look and a secure feel in even your tightest trousers, shorts, or dresses. Lightweight and perfect for pairing with your favourite bras to truly create a personalised foundation for your clothes, these are a must-have in any shapewear repertoire!

Shaping Camisoles: 

It’s time to shape up! Whether you opt for a cami dress style that falls to mid-thigh for a seamless look that streamlines your silhouette under dresses, or you opt for a piece that ends at the hip in more of a cami top style, this lightweight and slim body shaper option focuses on creating a secure and shapely feel over your tummy, waist, and hips. If you want that influencer touch, the longer dress style can be worn as a sculpting solo piece with accessories in the summer (we love them with a denim jacket and trainers or even layered under a sheer festival dress), while the shorter top style can be worn as outerwear with your favourite jeans or trousers for a casual look. However, you make the most of these versatile pieces, we’re sure they’ll be an asset to your wardrobe whether it’s as a foundation or as a focal point.

Shapewear Shorts:

Like shapewear briefs and thongs, shapewear shorts have a high waistline designed to help sculpt your tummy and waist but fall to mid-thigh for even greater shaping potential. Made from seam free and soft fabric, they sit invisibly under skirts, dresses, and trousers while offering a secure feel to your midriff and thighs and can be paired with your favourite bras for a complete foundation. This style also has the added benefit of preventing chafing as you walk, dance, or run errands – perfect for warm weather days and conquering summer skirt season without discomfort.

How To Choose Shapewear: 

When selecting the perfect shaper, it's all about finding the right fit, shaping level, style, and material. Here are some key factors to consider:

1. Pick the right size: size matters, so remember, shapewear should be snug but not suffocating. If you're torn between sizes, go for the larger option for extra comfort during all-day wear.

2. Pick the right shaping level: choose from light control for a subtle smoothing effect or firm control for a contoured feel. Decide based on your desired look - you’re in charge! It’s also important to consider how long you’ll be wearing a garment as firmer control might not be as comfortable for longer periods of time.

3. Pick the right style: want tummy control? Go for high-waisted briefs or a bodysuit shaper. Need a booty boost? Check out our shapewear shorts for an instant lift. Choose the right shaper according to what parts of your body you’d like to shape and enhance!

4. Pick the right material: material magic is real; look for stretchy fabrics like nylon, lycra, elastane, or polyamide to keep everything tucked in without the discomfort of a rigid material (goodbye, corsets of the past!).

Remember, shapewear is all about you and your unique flair. Try different styles to find the best shapewear for you.

How Should Shapewear Fit?

Finding the perfect fit when it comes to body shapewear is crucial for comfortable and effective sculpting. Here's what you need to know:

1. Snug, not constricting: shapewear should feel snug but not overly tight, allowing for comfortable and unrestrictive movement. Listen to your body and consider how long you’ll be wearing it.

2. Stay in place: look for shapewear that doesn't roll or bunch up, ensuring it stays put all day. We recommend trying pieces on and moving around in them.

3. Smooth and seamless: it should create a seamless look without visible lines or bulges. If waistbands or hems are digging in rather than sitting flat, consider a different size.

4. Natural and balanced: the best shapewear enhances your natural curves without creating an unnatural silhouette. Size to compliment your shape, not to try to alter it.

Shapewear is like having a personal stylist in your wardrobe, allowing you to confidently rock any outfit with ease. Whether you want to enhance your curves, define your waistline, or create a seamless look, body shapewear is your go-to solution for a more streamlined look and feel.

FAQ

What Size Shapewear Should I Buy?

To find the right size, refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. Take accurate measurements of your waist, hips, and bust. It's usually best to size up for a more comfortable fit if you're between sizes.

Do you wear underwear under shapewear?

It's generally recommended to skip the extra layer of underwear when wearing shapewear. Most shapewear pieces have a built-in gusset when formed to the lower body. But it’s up to your preference and comfort!

Can I Wear Shapewear Every Day? 

While it's safe to wear shapewear occasionally, it's not recommended to wear it daily for extended periods, especially if you’re wearing firmer styles. Listen to your body and give it a break to allow it to breathe.

Can Shapewear Reshape Your Body?

Shapewear can temporarily enhance your body's appearance by smoothing and contouring. It can provide a streamlined silhouette and enhance your curves during wear, but it does not permanently reshape your body. 

Is It Best To Size Up In Shapewear?

Sizing up in shapewear can provide a more comfortable fit, especially if you're between sizes. Always check the size chart and consider the level of control you’re after. Avoid sizing up too much, as it may compromise the effectiveness of the shaping.
