Shapewear Solutions For Your Wardrobe
SHAPEWEAR SOLUTIONS
Last week, I shared seven tips for knowing whether or not your shapewear is fitting you properly. Today, I’m digging into a few of my favorite shapewear solutions to consider adding to your wardrobe. Not all pieces are necessary, but depending on your outfit or comfort level, some great options exist to feel supported.
To wear or not wear shapewear is completely preference-based, but if you want to, are interested, or are looking to upgrade your current undergarments, these might be just the pieces for you! In this previous blog post, I explained a crash course into Shapewear 101 and the support levels to help find the perfect solution pieces based on your preferences. Let’s dig in!
1. mid-rise short
With single-layer shaping technology, Thinstincts 2.0 was designed with an ultra-thin fabric that's lightweight and breathable for every day. They're perfect for wearing under skirts or dresses, providing a firming and a smooth look. These are also available in a high-rise. I currently wear XL in these. Use code CARALYN15 on your first order at Spanx.
2. High-Waisted Shaping Briefs
High-waisted shaping briefs aim to smooth and slim the waist, tummy, and hips. High-rise briefs offer full coverage and often feature a silicone-lined. These briefs kiss the bra for a seamless look under dresses and skirts and are the highest level of support. I currently wear a XL in these, they also come in a mid-rise version. Use code CARALYN15 on your first order at Spanx.
3. Full Body With The Bust
Bodysuits or full-body shapers provide shaping from the bust down to the thighs, creating a sleek and streamlined silhouette. They are ideal for wearing under form-fitting dresses or jumpsuits, ensuring a smooth and toned appearance throughout the torso and lower body. I wear size 2X at Skims.
4. Full Body Without the Bust
Full bodysuits without the bust provide the same benefits as above but allow the comfort of your own properly fitting and supportive bra. Use code CARALYN15 on your first order at Spanx.
5. Full Length Capri
The full-length capri allows for a seamless look with any dress or jumpsuit without having lines on the thigh that a short may otherwise show. Use code CARALYN15 on your first order at Spanx.
6. Shaping Panty
7. Shaping Tank
Shaping tanks offer upper-body control, including the bust, back, and midsection. They can be worn on their own or layered under blouses and tops. Use code CARALYN15 on your first order at Spanx.
8. Smoothing Cami
One top to rule them all! This cami smooths, supports, and stays put –– no rolling, no nonsense, and you don’t have to wear a bra with it if you don’t want to. I wear it in XL/2X.
Use code CARALYN20 for 20% off directly at Shapermint.
Undergarment solutions don’t end with bras and shapewear! These are a few of my favorite items to keep in my underwear drawer. They are great to have on hand and will provide you with support and quick fixes! I previously shared several videos to explain more about these items further:
