How To Choose The Right Shapewear
- Know Your Body Shape – Figuring out your body shape will help you decide what parts of your body you want to accentuate, and help you choose the most flattering cuts for you. Shapewear will help you enhance the great parts of your body that are already there! For example, if you have an apple shaped figure, waist defining shapewear would be a great option.
- Choose How Much Support You Want From Your Shapewear – With light, medium and firm control shapewear options, you can pick the level of support you’re after. Choose between subtle curve enhancement and smoothing or more firm contouring and supporting shapewear.
- Pick The Right Control For The Occasion – Looking for everyday shapewear to wear to work? Light and Medium compression shapewear would be the best option to keep you comfortable all day. If you’re looking for shapewear to wear to an evening or formal event, opt for a firm compression option that contours as well as smoothes your body.
- Start Off With The Basics – If you’re new to shapewear, start off with basic, staple pieces such as a light control pair of briefs or a seamless shapewear vest. Use these to dip your toes into shapewear and figure out what you like and what you don’t!
