Lingerie Tricks: Shapewear Must-Buys
This spring and summer, we're looking at some really eclectic pieces that definitely don't just warrant wearing a regular bra. While you're on the search for a camisole or top to wear under that gorgeous and yet puzzling top, remember these suggestions to keep you looking great (and looking slimmer as well). :)
High-Waisted Shape Pieces
Let's say you've picked out the most beautiful strapless or slim-strapped dress, and you know that you need to be wearing a strapless bra beneath it. Just what can you do, though, if the waistline is that clinging type in something like silk or a georgette? I know! Pull yourself into these forgiving high-waisted pieces that fit well, look amazing, and flatter even the most reluctant of middles.
I've chosen the SPANX brand, simply because the "give" is pretty fantastic and you won't feel like you're burning up come summer.
Leg Compression Pieces
Wearing white capris and jeans can look amazing with silky, floaty shapes, but it's pretty stressful to wear white jeans, and for multiple reasons. One very scary aspect is "the dimple effect." Lumps, bumps, and the rest of it can really be highlighted by light-colored slacks, and anyone with a fuller body can get really intimidated. Since size 2 to size 24 can be plagued by light-colored clothes and all the stuff it can show off, here are my picks for longer supportwear:
Camis
Camis are awesome to layer underneath your tanks and tees-- particularly those ones that you desperately need to wear a bra with. Look for a bra with slim straps and layer a tank top in the same color with straps of a similar thickness beneath-- it's totally worth it. All you need to remember is that every inch counts when you're picking out summer pieces, so aim for medium-thickness straps to make your job that much easier!
Go for strapless as well!
