The high-waist shaper, popularized by brands like Spanx, is the workhorse of shapewear: it smooths your tummy and hips under almost anything. The trick is matching the style to your outfit.
Under jeans and trousers
Choose a high-waist brief that sits above your waistband. It smooths the area where pants can create a muffin-top line, and a seamless edge won't show through.
Under fitted skirts and pencil dresses
A high-waist shaper with a little leg smooths from waist to upper thigh and prevents chafing when you walk.
Under white or light pants
Go seamless and skin-tone. Bright white underwear shows through more than a shade close to your skin.
Under flowy dresses
You may only need light smoothing. A comfortable high-waist brief keeps your silhouette clean without heavy compression.
Stop the roll-down
- Choose a size that isn't too small: tight waistbands roll.
- Look for silicone grip or a wider waistband.
- Pick a taller rise if you have a long torso.
