The right shapewear creates a smooth and comfortable foundation that helps your clothes sit beautifully and boosts your confidence throughout the day. Designed to enhance, not restrict - our shapewear offers gentle to firm support, breathable fabrics and seamless finishes for a flattering, natural silhouette. Whether you’re dressing for work, a night out or a special occasion, the perfect base layer can make all the difference, helping you feel poised, polished and put-together.
Bodysuits, Briefs, and Thigh Shapers for Every Need
From smoothing bodysuits to shaping briefs and thigh-shaping shorts, there’s a style for every outfit and every level of support. Bodysuits offer all-in-one smoothing for a sleek silhouette under dresses and tops, while briefs provide targeted tummy control and a seamless look through the hips and waist. Shorts help prevent chafing and create a smooth line under skirts, pants and fitted styles. Mix and match different pieces to suit your outfit, your comfort level and the coverage you’re after - so you always feel confident from the base up.
How to Choose Your Perfect Shapewear
Choosing the right shapewear starts with understanding what you want it to do for you. Consider the level of control you’re after: light for everyday smoothing, medium for extra support, or firm for special occasions. Think about the areas you’d like to enhance or streamline, and match the style to your outfit, whether it’s a dress, pants or a fitted top. Comfort is key, so look for breathable fabrics, seamless finishes and the right size to ensure a smooth fit without digging in. When you find the perfect shapewear, you’ll feel supported, confident and ready for anything.
How do I find the right size in women's shapewear?
Finding the right size in women’s shapewear can make a huge different in both comfort and effectiveness. Shapewear is designed to smooth and sculpt, not to drastically shrink. Stick with your usual size; don’t size down, thinking it’s for “extra hold” because it can cause bulging, discomfort and rolling. Check the size chart for each brand, and compare your own measurements against the chart - don’t guess!Remember, comfort is key. It should be snug but you should be able to sit, walk and breath comfortably. It should not dig in, roll up (or down), and it should not restrict movement.
What type of shapewear is best for smoothing the tummy?
There’s no one “best” shapewear for everyone’s tummy. What works well depends on your body shape, outfit, comfort level, and how much control you want. For everyday smoothing and subtle effect, go for high-waist briefs or light-to-medium compression shorts. For special occasions, or more control, try a bodysuit or firmer shorts. For dresses or skirts, bodysuits or slips are good because there are no separate linings or pieces. To prevent “muffin top”, ultra-high waist designs, or shapewear with lower tummy panels can be the go.
What level of support or control do I need?
Great question! The level of support (or control) you need in shapewear depends on your goal, outfit, and comfort preference. There is a range, from soft and smooth to sculpted and strong.
Light or smooth control is best for everyday wear, casual outfits, and layering beneath lightweight fabrics. It gently smooths your silhouette and helps clothes skim over your body. Look for shapewear briefs, camis or slips in soft stretch fabrics.
Medium or shaping control is best for workwear or fitted dresses - think bodycon styles, pencil skirts, tailored pants. It smooths lumps and bumps, gently shapes the waist and tummy, while comfortable for all-day wear. Look for high-waist briefs, mid-thigh shorts, or tanks, with targeted tummy panels or bonded seams.
Firm or sculpt control is best for special occasions and fitted evening wear, and helps to create a more defined hourglass silhouette. It provides strong compression in target zones, cinches the waist, and feels structured. Look for bodysuits, or ultra-high waist shorts.
Can shapewear be comfortable enough to wear all day?
Yes, absolutely! The good news is, shapewear has come a long way from the days of stiff corsets and “can’t breathe” control. Many modern designs are made to feel like a supportive second skin and are perfect for all-day wear.
How should I wash my shapewear to make it last?
Caring for your shapewear properly makes a huge difference in how long it lasts, how well it holds its shape, and how comfortable it feels every time you wear it. Because shapewear relies on stretch fibres and compression panels, it needs gentle care - think spa day, not spin cycle! Always check the care label, and if in doubt go old-school and hand-wash.
