Shapewear body and tummy control
Whether for special occasions or for everyday comfort, shapewear has long since established itself as a versatile fashion must-have. It helps you to emphasise your natural body shape and effortlessly highlights your assets. Thanks to its special, elasticated materials, shapewear shapes and smoothes your curves and ensures that you feel completely comfortable in any clothing. There are different types of shapewear to suit every body shape and outfit. We'll show you what types of shapewear there are.
Shapewear for every occasion
The best shapewear to make you feel confident and look fabulous
Shapewear bodysuits that shape your tummy, waist, hips and bust create a smooth figure and are particularly suitable for when wearing close-fitting items of clothing. They will highlight your feminine body shape from your upper body all the way down to your hips. Shapewear bodysuits will also stop your underwear from being visible under your outfit.
Shapewear thong
Best type of shapewear for close-fitting clothing
A shapewear thong is just like a regular thong, but it offers you support around your tummy and waist area. This type of underwear creates a shapely line and ensures that no outlines of your underwear are visible under close-fitting clothing, such as a pencil skirt.
Shapewear briefs
Best shapewear underwear for your tummy and hip area
The tummy control briefs are as comfortable as normal briefs, but they often have a higher fit around your waist. This provides you with additional support and creates a balanced body shape. Shapewear briefs are therefore practical for everyday wear or for occasions when you just need a little confidence boost.
Shapewear shorts
The best shapewear underwear for thighs and for making your buttocks stand out
Shapewear shorts usually extend from your waist down to your thighs. They will shape your tummy as well as your hips, bum and thighs. Shapewear shorts emphasise your curves particularly well under close-fitting skirts, dresses or trousers. The shorts also prevent your thighs from rubbing against each other in summer.
Shapewear slip
Best shapewear for a smooth and sleek appearance
Especially when wearing close-fitting evening or cocktail dresses, you want to avoid the outline of your underwear being visible. With the right undergarment, you can achieve a perfectly shaped, feminine appearance. Depending on the style and fit, the shapewear slip will support your bust, tummy and hip area.
Which type of shapewear would suit me the best?
Not only does shapewear make you look stunning, but it also provides support around areas such as your tummy or buttocks. We'll show you below which shapewear is best for you:
Shapewear for everyday wear
It's not just special shapewear underwear, for example, a shaping bodysuit or shaping briefs that can make your curves looks smoother. There are even everyday items of clothing that also come with a shaping effect that provide you with support that you need for everyday life. These types of shapewear are versatile and comfortable, so you can feel good all day long.
Shaping jeans
Are you looking for a new pair of jeans that will really suit you and make you look and feel fabulous? Then you should opt for a pair of shaping jeans. They often have a push-up effect for your buttocks and also smooth your tummy and hips. This allows you to optimally emphasise your figure and feel confident and stylish at the same time.
Shaping leggings & cycling shorts
Sporty leggings or cycling shorts with a shaping effect ensure that your tummy, hips and thighs are gently smoothed out and offer you great support whilst working out or playing sports. You can also wear a pair of shaping leggings underneath a long top for everyday wear. They are very comfortable and easy to move about in just like a regular pair of leggings.
Push-up bras
Push-up bras have padded cups, which will gently lift your bust and create a fuller cleavage. This allows you to stylishly emphasise your bust in tops and dresses with a plunging neckline. Corsets can also achieve this effect while gently shaping your stomach and waist area.
Support tights
Support tights will not only effortlessly smooth your legs, but also shape your tummy and buttocks thanks to their special fabrics. Whether worn under a skirt for working in an office or for a glamorous soirée, they are a reliable choice for a perfect fit and a confident appearance.
Light control or firm control shapewear?
Shapewear clothing can differ depending on how much support and shaping effect they have:
Light control shapewear
Light control shapewear offers you lighter support and only subtle shaping. This will make your figure appear smoother, but it does not have the full effect like firm control shapewear. This offers you greater freedom of movement and comfort, especially in everyday life.
Firm control shapewear
If you like a bit more support or want to conceal certain areas of your body, then firm control shapewear may be the ideal choice. The special fabrics will compress your figure, which will make your curves stand out. Despite their compression effect, firm control shapewear is very comfortable to wear and will make you feel confident.
The higher the percentage of elastane/Lycra in shapewear, the more shaping effect it will have.
What is shapewear made of?
Good shapewear should have the perfect balance between comfort and making you look fabulous. It is a good idea to make sure you find shapewear with a good fit so that it doesn’t feel too tight or dig into your skin. That's why shapewear is usually made of nylon or polyamide and elastane or high-quality Lycra. This mix of fabrics ensures that your shapewear is stretchy and comfortable, but at the same time gives you a confidence boost and makes you look fantastic.
Shaping underwear needs a great fit and it needs to be breathable. Our shapewear allows your skin to breathe and also wicks away sweat so that you can wear it comfortably even in the summer. In addition, our shapewear is usually seamless or with flat seams so that nothing chafes or shows under your clothes.
Which is the best colour for shapewear?
Black shapewear goes well with dark outfits, while white or beige shapewear is worn with light-coloured outfits.
