Shapewear is simply underwear which is designed to temporarily alter the shape of the wearer's body, typically to flatten their stomach and make them look slimmer and more attractive in the outfit they're wearing over the top.
It is simply underwear that is designed to temporarily alter the shape of the wearer's body, typically to flatten their stomach and make them look slimmer and more attractive in the outfit they're wearing over the top.
It is worn by women and it comes in various forms, from simple pants through to larger one-piece garments covering the thighs and/or upper body.
Shapewear is usually made from Lycra™ or Spandex™, trademarked terms for a light material made from artificial fibers, which is stretchy but retains its shape.
Shapewear is a 21st century take on a concept dating back hundreds of years, originally epitomized by the corset, a stiff piece of underwear reinforced with wood or bone and used to give the appearance of a very small waist.
The corset was later superseded by the girdle, a piece of very tight, body-shaping underwear worn from the early 1920s through to the 1960s.
It is an undergarment designed to impermanently alter the wearer's body shape, to achieve what some view as a more fashionable figure.
The function of a foundation garment is not to enhance a bodily feature (as would, for example, a padded bra) but to make it look more presentable.
What are the ways to choose for the perfect shapewear?
* Find the perfect size on you
Women sometimes try to size down for extra firmness and sometimes ending up not breathing normally. So it is better to find the perfect size for you and one size bigger is better.

* High Waist for smooth lines through the torso
It is advised to have it this way to avoid lines or markings that can cause the skin too dark.
* Toned the legs using tights with built-in shapewear
Some fitness enthusiast wears this kind of shapewear so every time they workout, they are toning and shaping a part of their body.

* Bodysuit for all-over shaping
A bodysuit is overall shaping shapewear and best recommended for those who would like to have overall support.
* Use cotton-blend shapewear
It is best to wear in this type of material so the body can breathe in and out.
