The Best Shapewear for Women: Cute + Comfortable!

While the open bust feature can be useful (especially for summer outfits), sometimes you want the full body control of an entire piece of shapewear.

The Miraclesuit Extra Firm Body checks all the boxes, including a comfortable stretch mesh fabrication, adjustable shoulder straps, and a patented silicone edge that removes lines and prevents annoying ride-up. 

Wear this underneath a gown for a special event or wedding and you’ll feel comfortably tucked in all night long!

If they say the camera adds 10 pounds, trust me when I tell you this bodysuit will take those pounds right back! 

Let’s be real.

While form-fitting bodysuits can help shape your entire figure, the real problem for most of us lies strictly between the knee and belly button!

Don’t over-complicate things – get yourself the Maidenform Hi-Waisted Brief, which offers targeted relief and shaping to the midsection.

The best shapewear for tummy and waist tends to be the simplest in my experience, and the comfortable nylon Maidenform piece offers the simply shaping that every woman deserves! 

A big misconception surrounding the women’s shapewear is that only massive pieces with countless and bells and whistles are effective. 

The Commando Classic Shorts debunk this myth, as the intentional light to moderate compression still proves very effective at hiding what you don’t want anyone else seeing! 

This lighter construction along with a high-rise silhouette make it one of the best shapewear shorts.

Best of all, the elastic waistband is comfortable – it doesn’t give you that too tight feeling of a boa constrictor wrapped around your waist!  

While the technology surrounding women’s shapewear has become incredibly impressive, it’s still not quite possible to totally eliminate visible lines.

So, when you’re wearing more revealing (or just less) clothing, check out the Yummie Danielle High Waist Shaping Thong.

The thong construction eliminates any VPL (visible panty line) concerns, and silicone taping ensures a comfortable, no-slip grip!

Yummie makes a whole line of super comfortable shapewear and lingerie, like our favorite camisole bras.

They also have shaping undies in various levels of compression (from light to extra firm) and styles – if thongs aren’t your style, these girlshorts are comfy and offer more coverage!

The irony with many shapewear pieces is that they are far too bulky for when you need them the most…like when you’re wearing dresses!

Every wardrobe needs a good slip, and one of the best rated is the MAGIC Light & Comfy Slip.

The scoop neckline ensures this slip remains unseen under pretty much any dress neckline.

Meanwhile the silicone trim, adjustable straps, and laser cut edges ensure no one will ever know what’s keeping your figure nice and tight!
