6 shapewear secrets for your body type

Shapewear creates a smooth, streamlined silhouette, and can be worn under any outfit, to flatter your figure and enhance your curves.

1. SHORT THIGH SHAPER
Short leg shapers – or shaping panties – provide medium to firm control. They smooth and flatten your tummy while defining and lifting your bottom.
2. MID LEG SHAPER
A mid-leg shaper is a high- waisted style pair of shorts, with legs extending to the mid-thigh. This shapewear style defines and enhances your bottom, while flattening your tummy and defining your waist.
3. LONG LEG SHAPER
This style gives you a trimmer silhouette without any lines showing. Leg shapers smooth and shape your thighs from the knee up, as well as flattening your tummy. They usually have medium to firm control, and are best worn under pants, long skirts or dresses.

4. BODYSUIT SHAPER
Tip
Replace your bra with this shaper – it will give support to your tummy as well.
This one is perfect under fitted tops or blouses, as you won’t have to worry about anything bulging underneath or coming untucked. Some bodysuit shapers work as both a bra and a shaper. They create a beautiful silhouette and smooth finish, shaping the area from the bust to the hip, and offering support and control to tummy, waist, and hips.
5. DRESS SHAPER
A dress shaper is perfect to wear under tight bodycon and structured dresses, creating a defined, slimming shape and a smooth silhouette.
Tip
Don’t make the mistake of buying a size down! If your shapewear is too small, you’re going to be uncomfortable.
6. VEST SHAPER
