Whether you want to rock a pair of high-waisted jeans with a bodysuit and blazer or show off your curves in a sleek bodycon dress, smooth curves, and cinched waists do not come easy for most women. However, you can get a bit of help from shapewear.

Shapewear is a type of undergarment that comes in a variety of styles that include everything from sculpting waist trainer bodysuits and supportive panties to shaping leggings. So if you want to feel supported and enhance your natural shape, then shapewear is a great choice for you.

How To Find The Perfect Shapewear?

The popularity of shapewear has increased tremendously and there is now an endless array of styles to choose from. Just how do you decide which one works best for your body type and your wardrobe? Ahead is a guide to finding the perfect shapewear for you.

1. Stick To Your Size

It is important to purchase shapewear according to your dress size. Many women think that they would look smaller when they buy a smaller size shapewear and this will end up giving them more bulges. Shapewear is designed to fit you firmly and comfortably so sizing down will make you feel uncomfortable. Do pay attention to the size charts on the website. Shapewear that is too tight will cause discomfort and chafing.

2. Choose The Level Of Support You Want

These body shapers come in different levels of support and compression such as light, medium, and firm.

Light Control

If you are looking for a seamless base layer that delivers a sleek silhouette under your outfit, light control shapewear such as a high waist contour shaping panty is what you need.

Medium Control

Choose shapewear styles from this solution if you are looking for firmer and more sculpting ability in the targeted areas. Medium compression-level shapewear is generally quite comfortable to wear and is ideal for those who want to smooth lumps around the waist and thighs. They can be worn for office or casual occasions.

Firm Control

Firm compression shapewear is ideal for smoothing the tummy area and is perfect for wearing underdresses. Apart from smoothing, firm control body shapers such as a full bodysuit or high-waisted butt lifter shorts offer more intense shaping and support, thus giving you a toned base and an hourglass shape.

3. Choose your coverage

When choosing shapewear, you would have to consider what type of outfits you are going to wear it under and what areas you want more support and smoothing. For all-over sculpting, full-bodysuit shapewear is a favorite because of its versatility under clothing. It firms the core while also offering support to the bust and lifting the derriere. You do not need to wear any panties under this style as it usually comes with an open gusset at the crotch for easy bathroom access.

4. Find The Best Style For Your Outfits

If you plan to wear form-fitting dresses or skirts, go for shapewear pieces that go up to under the bra line and down to the thighs for all-over sculpting and to avoid wardrobe woes. If your hemline is above the knee, you may want to get yourself a shaping panty to create a smooth silhouette instead of a mid-thigh short. For wearing tight pants or jeans, opt for shapewear with a thong bottom like a body shaper with a butt lifter to avoid the visible panty lines. For low-neckline or low-back tops and dresses, you would need a low-back or a low-neckline bodysuit

Lastly, it is important to find garments that give you the shape you want without sacrificing style and comfort. Shapewear is only helpful if you feel good wearing it.
