What is Shapewear?
Shapewear is an undergarment that uses targeted compression to help shape your body. It can be worn under clothing as an extra layer of smoothing or shaping power, or even on its own as body-hugging pieces that show off your curves while still maintaining an overall slimming effect.
Shapewear is made to help you flatten your tummy and sculpt your shape no matter your body type.
How to Choose the Right Shapewear
Finding the right shapewear for your body type, weight, and preferences is key to not only achieving the right fit, but ensuring you stick with it. There are several things to consider when selecting the right piece, including:
Compression: Choose a product with the right amount of compression so that you don’t feel constricted or uncomfortable in your shapewear. KWWK Shape Wear, specifically, is made of fabric that is breathable, elastic, and comfortable, which makes people more relaxed.
Body Shapes: Different pieces of shapewear can be beneficial depending on the shape of your body. For example, high-waisted briefs may be great for women with larger hips, while a full-body shaper can be ideal for those looking to reduce their waist size. When shopping for your perfect fit, be sure reference the features, specifications, and (importantly!) the size chart.
Clothing Type: Different shapewear works better depending on what type of clothing you plan to wear it with. For example, a control brief may work well with high-waisted pants or skirts, while a full-body suit is perfect for bodycon dresses and jumpsuits. Even some underwear, like the KWWK Essentials Collection, has built in shapewear and support.
