If You Want to Try Shapewear, These Are the Best Styles for Women

In case you missed it, Lizzo joined the shapewear game recently with her own brand YITTY. As reviews are coming in, this style has some of the best with a perfect 5-star rating. It comes in several colors, including bolder red, purple, and yellow, and has a medium compression that holds you in without showing seams.

Glowing Review: I love that I can wear this top as outerwear AND underwear. It’s so supportive and comfortable, and love that I can be out and about without a wired bra.

This high-cut style smooths your waistline with four-way stretch fabric, but is still lightweight and breathable.

If you have a backless dress or shirt you want to wear, shorts that create a dip in the back will make sure your shapewear stays unnoticed.

Glowing Review: It’s funny, because last summer I bought a dress with a very low back and said to myself that the con of the dress was that I wasn’t able to support my butt. And here comes SKIMS to the rescue!

Wolford is all about quality undergarments, so if you were thinking of splurging, this is the brand to spend the $$$ on. This bodysuit smooths and sculpts with its bonded seams that lay perfectly flat against your skin.

Tights can totally be shapewear! Many have a “control top” feature that have added compression at the waist. This Commando pair has 150 reviews and an almost-perfect 5-star rating.

Glowing Review: These are the best tights I have ever purchased! High quality material, and the control top holds everything in but is so smooth. No bunching or rolling down. Not sure if I will ever be able to go back to another brand!

This simple bodysuit is made from a soft knit material and features cinching compression at the torso. It might become your new go-to base layer or a design you’ll want to wear on its own with your fave jeans.

This slip does it all with its convertible straps, built-in bra, and anti-static material so your outfit doesn’t ride up. Genius, right?!

Glowing Review: This is such a comfortable piece of shapewear! It wasn’t too tight and just long enough for me. Also the padding on the bra portion is very light and comfortable. I Love it!

There’s high-waist and then there’s HIGH-waist. These quick-drying shorts provide extra firm control targeting your thighs and midsection.

Glowing Review: This was my first time trying this brand and I was not disappointed. The shape ware stays in place and the legs do not ride up. Also, it smooths everything out. Definitely plan on purchasing from this brand again.

Add this smoothing tank underneath any top for a compressive base layer. It has 10,000+ reviews and a 4-star rating, which means you might want to nab it in all the other colors, too.

Glowing Review: Normally when I get a new under shirt that is in the control style you have a couple days of uncomfortable breaking in, but I never got that with this version. It always remained comfortable and most importantly breathable.

This silhouette means you can wear your own bra with the open bust, and the rest is smoothed out by the bonded torso and side panels.

Glowing Review: Love it. My tummy feels smooth, my butt still has shape, the legs don’t roll up, and with the straps there is no risk of the top rolling down. Never looking back, worth every penny.

I’m telling you, SKIMS really is as good as the hype makes it out to be. This sculpting bodysuit is one of Kim K’s bestsellers, and with reason. Ooh, also, if you gotta go to the bathroom, rest assured it won’t be as hard as other shapewear pieces, thanks to the open gusset.

Glowing Review: Weird as this may sound, I actually feel more calm when I wear the bodysuit. It keeps me feeling pulled together and gives me an extra boost of confidence.

Sometimes you want something that hugs your thighs, too. Along with the smoothing feature, these sheer, lightweight shorts will also keep your inner thighs from rubbing together, which can be uncomfortable during sticky, hot summer days.

Glowing Review: I’m pretty insecure about my behind (wish there was a little more meat there if ya know what I mean). The shorts definitely gave my tiny booty some shape I’ve never had before!

Yes, shapewear that looks like everyday clothes does exist! Take this style by YUMMIE, for example. It looks like an everyday black long-sleeve bodysuit, perfect for layering or just on its own.

Glowing Review: Ordered in white and liked so much I ordered black. Great base layer. Soft fabric. Heavy enough to wear as only top. Great with jeans or skirt.

I love high-waist everything, but it can be extremely annoying when the band won’t stay up. Thankfully, these shorts have a slip-proof strap hidden on the inside.

Glowing Review: They’re tight, but they stretch. So after some huffing and puffing I get them on. They make me feel more confident.

I mean, c’mon, we’ve all heard of those butt-sculpting leggings by now—so you best believe there are leggings that make the rest of your body look contoured.

Glowing Review: These leggings are SO comfortable. Inside is like spandex and outside looks like leather. I have received many compliments on them.

Queen RiRi comes in clutch with this awesome corset complete with a zipper for easy use. Because, let’s be honest, no one really wants to lace one up.

Glowing Review: It is so comfortable and stretchy. I could have even sized down. It’s very soft and easy to zip.

The top here looks like your average scoop-neck shirt, but that firm spandex material also provides some smoothing support for the upper arms and the midsection.

Now here’s something you could comfortably move around in. The sturdy band helps you feel hugged-in and covered, while the lace panels add a pretty detail.

Glowing Review: Gave me a bit of confidence wearing a dress to a wedding, held me in, and wasn’t too uncomfortable. I did size up one size and I’m glad I did.

This best-selling body briefer is totally gorge due to its lace design. Plus, if you want to be a little ~sexy~ you can even wear it as a top.

Glowing Review: I bought two of these—one in black and one in cream—to go under dresses. This has turned into my must have undergarment that I recommend to everyone.

Yes, it’s possible to wear shapewear during hotter months without burning up. Well, that is if you have this high-tech one-piece in your closet. Maidenform made this bodysuit with a trademarked cooling fabric that’s kinda genius when the temperature outside heats up.

Glowing Review: Size chart accurate, fit perfect. Great coverage. Not too tight. Nice fabric.

Most shapers focus on the mid and lower sections. This design gives some love to your arms without smushing your chest down.

Glowing Review: I love this item. Not only does it shape my arms but it enhances my breasts, it is extremely comfortable and fits like a glove.

You’ll find the majority of the compression in this skirt along the stomach area, which means your hips and thighs get a bit more freedom. It also has grips in pace at the waist and hem to prevent rolling.

Glowing Review: Very comfortable. Shapes without riding up or rolling down. Cool fabric

Tank tops are all I can think about wearing whenever it’s warm out—or as a layering essential when it’s chilly. The shaping one here can be worn as a V-neck or as a scoop neck!

Glowing Review: This shaping tank is the best shaping tank I have found to wear instead of a bra!

Here’s a booty-tastic shapewear piece that comes in both beige and black. This bb has over 34K reviews on Amazon, and rightfully so.

Glowing Review: I’ve never found a shapewear item that I liked so much! I’m so so happy I bought this product

Sometimes you don’t need shapewear attached to your undies or your bra. That’s where a band like this one comes into play.

Glowing Review: I have tried sooo many compression garments and this is the ONLY one that does the job and is also very comfortable.

Here’s proof that shapewear doesn’t have to be boring or ugly. The see-through panels are made from a soft, supportive material that’s makes this pair just as cute as any other in your undie drawer.

Glowing Review: They are full coverage so I don’t feel like I have to tug on anything, and the fishnet-looking fabric is not scratchy at all.

Sure, a hundred bucks is a lot to spend on one corset. But lemme tell ya, it is worth the investment. Nubian Skin makes some of the best quality corsets, IMO.

If you get hot easily, this lightweight design is a must-have in your wardrobe, thanks to the breathable mesh material.

Glowing Review: This is the only bodysuit that fits me! Love the way this is cut around your bottom to be fuller coverage and not an instant wedgie.

Nubian Skin is a brand that knows beige and nude are not the same thing. With a range of hues, there’s a perfect nude with gentle support for a variety of skin tones.

The strategically placed seams on this one mean it’ll go totally undetected underneath your clothes.

Glowing Review: Fits perfectly. The stay-put on the legs is great! Nice control.

Whenever your dress needs an extra layer, this slip will keep you covered. The microfiber texture is beyond comfy and won’t bunch up underneath your look.

Glowing Review: The slip is short, hitting above mid-thigh which was great for my dress. It’s body-skimming and not clingy. (e.g. you don’t feel at all like you’re squeezing yourself into it.)

There’s no such thing as too much lace. The frilly detail and the invisible shaping fabric make this bodysuit too good to pass up.
