The
Shapewear Guide

Say hello to the silhouette you want! From body sculpting thongs to seam-free tops, shapewear is everything you need to sculpt and support your body, without feeling restricted.

What is shapewear, exactly? Shapewear includes everything from figure-flattering knickers and leggings to bodysuits and vests. These fitted pieces have been a staple in most woman’s underwear drawers for decades! Thanks to modern fashion technology, they’ve become even more effective at helping us achieve a smooth silhouette under virtually any outfit.

Shapewear comes in all shapes and sizes. By providing natural contouring, it helps you enhance the bits you love while smoothing and lifting the bits that may need some extra support. The best shapewear for women is designed to work with your natural shape. You can compliment a top or a pair of shorts with your favourite item of lingerie, and if you’re wearing shapewear bottoms with a gusset, there’s no need to wear another pair of knickers.

Does Shapewear Really Work?

Just like different types of lingerie, shapewear isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Some types will work better for different body shapes than others. The pieces shouldn’t be uncomfortable, and good shapewear shouldn’t roll, hike up or make you feel restricted.

The best shapewear is constructed to fit well and target specific areas of the body. Whether high-waisted thong shapewear or sculpting bandeau shapewear, it’s essential to wear the right size and ensure you feel comfortable and supported, without feeling pinched.

We’ve pulled together a shapewear guide to help you quickly figure out how each shapewear solution can provide support.
