Shapewear has come a long way — today's styles are comfortable, breathable, and designed to make you look and feel your absolute best. But there's an art to wearing it correctly. Here's your ultimate guide.
Choosing the Right Size This is the most important step. Shapewear that is too small will be uncomfortable and create bulges rather than smooth them. Shapewear that is too large won't provide enough compression. Always measure your waist and hips and refer to the size guide before purchasing.
Choose the Right Style for Your Outfit
- Bodysuits — Perfect under fitted dresses and tops
- High-waist shorts — Ideal under skirts, dresses and trousers
- Waist cinchers — Great for defining your waist under any outfit
- Full body shapers — Best for formal events and fitted gowns
- Thigh shapers — Perfect for smoothing under tight dresses
How to Put Shapewear On Correctly Step into your shapewear and pull it up gradually — don't yank it up all at once. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds as you go for a seamless finish.
What to Wear Underneath Always wear seamless underwear under your shapewear or choose a style with a built-in gusset. This keeps everything hygienic and comfortable throughout the day.
How Long Can You Wear It? Shapewear is designed for occasional wear — not all day every day. For comfort and health, limit wear to 6-8 hours at a time and give your body a break in between.
Care Tips
- Hand wash in cold water
- Never tumble dry — lay flat to dry
- Avoid fabric softener as it breaks down the elastic fibres
