Shapewear is a special type of undergarment that is designed to temporarily change the natural shape. It helps to make a woman look slimmer instantly and effortlessly smooths out the curves to give the body a streamlined finish. Shapewear helps women to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
When the word shapewear is mentioned, many have the idea of wearing tight-fitting, torturous garments instead of innovative control wear that embraces the curves and hugs everything in the right places. It is understandable because of past experience with shapewear that was created during the bodycon era where everything was restricted and compressed. It can also be due to choosing the wrong size or incorrect style of shapewear for the body type. With so many different types of shapewear in the market today, choosing the best shapewear may be a little intimidating especially if you are a beginner.
What To Look For In A Shapewear
Finding the best shapewear comes down to three important things and they are the size, control, and area.
Identify Your Trouble Area
In order to identify your trouble areas, it is advisable to find out what your body type is. Women’s shapes are defined as follows:-
- A curvy figure or pear-shaped figure is where the hips are wider than the upper half of the body. The main concern will be enhancing the breast while ensuring that the hips and thighs are under control.
- A round figure a body with narrow shoulders and hips, and with a fuller bust and torso. The trouble spot will be the midsection.
- An hourglass figure where the waist is smaller than the hips and bust. Curve control is what needs to pay attention to.
- An inverted triangle figure is where the upper half of the body is larger than the hips. Defining the waist and softening the shoulder are needed.
