How to Find the Perfect Shapewear For Your Wardrobe

If you’re looking through your closet and considering shapewear, we’ll help you find the best shapewear for your particular wardrobe.

Here are some of our most versatile shapewear pieces that might be the perfect choice for you:

I dress for business: slacks & dress pants

For your professional wardrobe, try our Everyday Sculpt High Waisted Mid Thigh Shorts. This style gives you mid-level compression across the tummy and down the hips and thighs. If you’d prefer a thong option, try the Seamless Sculpt High-Waisted Thong. This style is a great solution for wearing under suits and dress pants without showing any panty lines. It holds in your core for everyday, all-day shaping and support.

I wear casual cropped tops and low rise pants

We know the struggle. SKIMS has developed shapewear you can wear under your jeans that doesn’t show across the tops of your pants. For your outfits that might show a peek of your waist or belly button, use the Shapewear Short. This piece is also reversible, so you can place the dip in the front or the back, while getting mid-level compression for your thighs and butt.

I wear plunge dresses

If you love a dramatic plunging neckline, we suggest the Deep Plunge Shapewear Bodysuit. Get cleavage and underwire support along with compression across the tummy, hips, and thighs. This is a great choice for special occasion dresses with deep necklines, and the straps can be adjusted to be worn as strapless, halter, shoulder straps, or cross back.

I wear backless and low back tops and dresses

If you’re looking through your favorite wardrobe staples and notice a lot of backless or strappy-backed choices, you’ll want a low back option. Try the Seamless Sculpt Low Back Bodysuit. With strong compression and a thong back, it supports your chest and shapes your tummy.


If you’re looking for more coverage over your butt and hips, try the Low Back Mid Thigh Bodysuit. This sculpting bodysuit has shaping all the way to mid-thigh, so it’s versatile enough for someone who enjoys a wardrobe with open backs while getting a sculpted look.

I wear cool camis and strapless dresses

Whether you gravitate to strapless dresses or you love that effortless sundress or light camisole look, you may want a strapless shapewear option.

Show off your shoulders with the Seamless Sculpt Strapless Thong Bodysuit, for strong support at your waist and core. If you’re looking for a bit more coverage down to mid-thigh, try our Seamless Sculpt Strapless Shortie Bodysuit. This solution is great for strapless evening gowns or wedding dresses that show your curves. 

Both of these bodysuits come with removable adjustable straps, so you can use them under outfits with sleeves or straps as well.

You can also choose to combine a strapless bra with a pair of shapewear briefs. We suggest our Ultra Fine Mesh Strapless Bra with your choice of shapewear underwear or shorts. For the strongest compression up to mid-waist, try the Core Control Brief.

I’m not sure what I need!

Not sure where to begin with our large range of shapewear options? Start with our most viral silhouette with no visible panty lines, the Seamless Sculpt Thong Bodysuit. It’s great for everyday wear with a bit more compression at the waist.

Another option is the Seamless Sculpt Mid Thigh Bodysuit, a shapewear solution that has you covered all the way down to mid-thigh. This piece gives you targeted control along the waist and thighs, plus butt-enhancing pockets for a lifted look.
