First off, no matter what size or shape your body is, it’s beautiful. But even the most confident women feel the need to wear shapewear occasionally, myself included.

What’s great about shapewear is that it creates a more defined silhouette by smoothing everything out.

Here are my must-haves:

Footless Legging

Smooth out any visible panty lines by wearing a footless legging under a pair of pants or jeans. This high-waisted style smoothes out the tummy, hips and eliminates panty lines. In colder months, footless leggings are also great because they provide an extra layer of warmth.

Shaping Shorts

Shaping shorts are perfect underneath dresses and skirts, especially fitted silhouettes. They also help with chafing and smooth things out a bit without being ultra restricting.

A bodysuit works well under skirts, dresses and jumpsuits. I personally love a bodysuit under form-fitting garments because it eliminates panty lines, chafing and gives a great streamlined silhouette.

Cami

Whether it’s an everyday tee, a dressy blouse or a cozy sweater, you’ll find me wearing a cami underneath it. It helps solve the see-through fabric problem and eliminates bra visibility while smoothing everything out.
