What is shapewear?
Just like its name suggests, shapewear is an undergarment that gives your body a sleeker silhouette by smoothing out the lumps and highlighting your natural curves. It is designed to help you achieve your desired figure by hiding away your abdominal flab, fat thighs, and large butt.
Shapewear comes in many forms and styles. Depending on what you want to smooth out and the outfit you want to wear on Valentine’s day, here are the options to choose from:
- Waist trainer/cincher and corset--are designed to give you a tiny waist and give you an hourglass figure.

How To Pick The Best Shapewear For Valentine’s Day
Now that you know a little more about shapewear, here are some tricks to help you pick the best shapewear that will make you look fantastic on Valentine’s Day.
- Determine your outfit--Before you buy shapewear, you need to determine what you will be wearing on that day. Will it be a sexy dress or pants. Also, what do you want to achieve with the shapewear? Are you looking to get a tiny waist, lift your bust, or smooth out some bulges? Depending on your answers to these questions, you can go ahead and buy shapewear that will meet your needs.
- Get the right size-- Although it is tempting to buy shapewear that is a size smaller, shapewear works best when you have the correct size. Going down a size won’t help you fit into a smaller dress. It will only cause discomfort, bulges, and wrinkles. You can get your size by taking accurate measurements of your bust, waist, and hips.
- The right shape for you-- Bodies come in different varieties, and wearing shapewear is not about transforming your body but enhancing your body shape. When you know what your body shape is, you can get shapewear that works for you
- Fabric matters-- Shapewear is often made of neoprene, latex, nylon and spandex, which are all absolutely amazing! The only thing to keep in mind is that the waist trainers would look great under the thick outfit as they are mainly designed for exercising and loosing inches in the waistline. The shapewear, mainly power-nets, hip shapers and booty lifters will look fabulous under any outfit as they are designed to enhance your natural curves.
