Looking to show off your figure in a form-fitting dress or a pair of high-waisted denim with a bodysuit? We all know that smooth and sleek curves do not come easy for many of us. However, thanks to the innovative fabric and modern manufacturing technology, women can get a little help from shapewear when squeezing into their favorite styles.

Shapewear has become an increasingly popular foundation garment that not only feels comfortable but gives you a fantastic figure no matter what your body type or size is. Choosing the right shapewear style can either make or break an entire outfit. There are certain styles that work best for specific silhouettes. When wearing figure-hugging dresses or skirts, bodysuit shapewear is what you need. For mini dresses, you would want a body shaper that features a brief bottom like a pair of shaping panties for a smooth silhouette. When wearing tight pants, shaping the garment with a thong bottom can help to avoid the visible panty lines while still sculpting your body.

How To Find The Perfect Shapewear Fit

Do read on for some tips on how to choose the perfect fit shapewear.

Know Your Size

The most step is to purchase shapewear in your actual dress size. Many women tend to think that they can look smaller so they choose a smaller size but this will only give you more bulges. Do pay attention to size charts and measure yourself correctly using a measuring tape. Having the right measurements for your waist, hip, thigh, and bust can go a long way when you are looking to get the right size. 

Know Your Target Area

Only you will know your body best and the kind of outfits you will be wearing. Identify the areas that you want smoothening so that you can fit into your outfits better. You can be ok with your thighs but not your tummy so you need to get the best shapewear for tummy. Once you have identified the area, it will be easier to pick the most suitable shapewear. 

Know Your Body Shape

What your body shape is will play a role in your choice and how well the body shaper will fit you. Everyone has a body shape and they are apple, pear, triangle, rectangle, and hourglass. It is important to shop for your specific body shape. For example, if you have an hourglass shape, it means that your waist, hips, and shoulders are almost the same size. Your goal is to get a shapewear that will smooth and define the curves that you already have like an all-over shaping bodysuit. For a rectangle shape body, the shoulders and waist are the same size but without a defined waist. Choosing a high waist shapewear like this seamless sculpting short is an excellent pick to accentuate the waist. You would also need to take into consideration if you are slim, medium-built, or curvy. Somebody’s shapers work well on one body type and not the other.

Choose The Right Color

Most shapewear comes in two colors and they are nude and black. Some styles are also available in brown and white. Always choose shapewear that matches your skin tone and not your outfit. For women with light olive skin, shapewear in the nude is the best choice. For those with darker skin tones, black is a better option.
