Your Shape. Your Style. Your Wow Factor.
Shapewear XXL is figure shaping lingerie which can be worn particularly under tight clothing. Shapewear firms your curves, lends your figure a slimmer silhouette and helps keep the minimum showing under tighter clothing.This allows you to be a little bolder in your choice of outfit. The following will help you in your choice of shapewear depending on the results you wish to achieve.
Which XXL Shapewear covers what?
Certain figure-forming lingerie is better than others depending on which "Problem Zone" you would like to conceal. Here are some tips on which Shapewear you can best use:
Figure Shaping Hosiery
Effect: slimmer legs/hips, bottom and tummy tightened
Figure Shaping Slips and Thongs
Effect: flattering around tummy area, hips and bottom
Figure Shaping Bodyshaper
Effect: firming the silhouette, smoothing the back area , beautiful bosom, slimmer hips, waist and tummy
Figure Shaping Top
Effect: smooth back, beautiful bosom, slimmer waist and tummy
Which Shapewear for which Body Type?
In general, your choice of Shapewear will depend on your outfit. Are there particular areas which should be emphasised and brought into shape? If so, the choice of Bodyforming garment is largely dependent on your body shape. Here are a few tips which you might like to take into account:
Inverted Triangle
Characteristics:
- broad shoulders and /or
- large bust
- narrow hips
- slim legs
Tip: A figure shaping top or body shaper is particularly good to firm up the top half. A Slip or Thong with a high waist is also good to help conceal problem areas around the tummy.
Triangle
Characteristics:
- rather narrow shoulders
- small bust
- slim waist
- flat tummy
- Weight sits mainly around hips, legs and bottom.
Tip: Pants and figure shaping lingerie with leg inserts are more suitable. A body or slip without leg inserts will not create the same effect.
Hourglass
Characteristics:
- symmetrical body type
- narrow waist
- full bust
- round bottom
Tip: It is not necessary for you to form any one area more than another. And so you can choose your Shapewear purely on the basis of your outfit. Essentially, all types of figure forming lingerie are suitable.
Rectangle
Characteristics:
- symmetrical body type
- not much waist
- small bust
- shoulder width and hip width are about the same
Tip: Use shapewear to create more of a waist. Bodies or slips with a high waist are suitable here.
Diamond
Characteristics:
- weight sits mainly around tummy and waist
- large bust
- legs and bottom relatively slim
Tip: Choose shapewear that covers tummy and waist in particular. Panties which are cut too deep will cut in, in an unpleasant way. Go for a figure shaping top or bodysuit which also gives support to the bust. Panties should have a high waist.
Tips on how to pull on Shapewear
When you put on shapewear you should pull on your top or bodysuit from the bottom in order to achieve the best fit. Always wear body shaping items with a bra if needed. This will provide the best shape for your bust.
