Best Shapewear for Your Body Type

Shapewear is designed to boost your confidence and make you feel slim and sexy. But, where do you begin? Depending on your body type, you may be looking to shapewear to enhance your figure or conceal it. Do you have a small chest that could use some enhancing? A saggy bottom that could use some uplifting? A tummy that could use some flattening? With so many options available, it’s best to shop for shapewear based upon your body type.

A study of more than 6,000 women conducted at North Carolina State University in 2005 revealed that women’s body types fell into the following four categories: 46% of women were banana or boyish-shaped; just over 20% were pear-shaped with hip measurements greater than bust measurements; just under 14% were apple-shaped with broader shoulders and bust, and narrower hips; and only 8% were hourglass with the hip and bust almost of equal size and a narrow waist.

Depending on your body type, here are a few ‘shop by your shape,’ suggestions:

Hourglass: Blessed with a gorgeous figure? Give it some enhancing with a comfortable, full body shaper that will smooth your curves and hold everything in place. For women with such an enviable figure, you should look to shapewear to enhance it. A comfortable full body shaper is a great way to smooth your curves and hold everything in place. Ann Chery Seduccion Powernet Bodysuit lifts the bust as it compresses the tummy, back, arms, buttocks, hips and thighs.

Pear: Looking to smooth down your lower half? Incorporate the newest slimming solution into your wardrobe with shaping leggings. A genius fusion that's part legging part shapewear to trim and slim your hips, buttocks, and thighs in plain sight. Lytess Slimming Leggings are infused with fat-fighting caffeine and moisturizing shea butter that will discreetly and fashionably slim you down in just 21 days!

Apple: Larger busted with a great pair of legs, but a little thicker in the middle? Opt for a wireless bra with wide and ergonomic bra straps, such as the Leonisa Back Posture Support Bra. This great fitting bra reduces the bra bulge with its smooth design and wide bra straps for extreme comfort and support. Another option is a shaper that whittles the middle. Flakisima’s new Power Cotton Waist Cincher will reduce your waistline by up to 4 inches instantly.

Boy-Shaped: Add some curve to your slender figure. The new generation of sexy rear-enhancers is designed with extra firm compression fabric to slim, lift, and sculpt the derriere to perfection. Dr. Rey Shapewear Bottom Enhancer is a smoothing thigh shaper featuring removable pads that will add some curve when you want it, where you want it. If you want your favorite pair of low-rise, skinny jeans to fit perfectly, then your new best friend is the Pure Style Girlfriends Bump-a-Booty. This low-rise microfiber panty with foam pads is specially designed to give your rear some lift but sits low enough so no one will know your secret weapon!

With contemporary fabrics and ingenious designs, today's shaping garments can provide wonderful compliments to enhance your figure – leaving you feeling more confident and sexier throughout the day.
