How to Choose the Right Shapewear for Your Body Type
Not All Bodies Are the Same, And That’s the Point
Let’s be clear: there’s no “ideal” shape. You’re not trying to fit into someone else’s standard, you’re shaping what you love most. That’s why finding the right shapewear for your body type makes all the difference. When you choose pieces that complement your natural silhouette, the result isn’t just better support, it’s better confidence.
Here’s how to choose the best shapewear styles for your shape:
🍐Pear-Shaped: Curvier Hips and Thighs
If you carry more volume in your lower body, focus on shaping shorts or bodysuits with thigh control. Look for:
- High-waisted shaper shorts to smooth hips and tummy - for example, click HERE
- Full-body suits to balance your top and bottom - for example, click HERE
- Butt-lifting designs to enhance, not flatten - for example, click HERE
✨ Pro tip: Seamless thigh shapers are great under dresses and skirts to prevent rubbing and smooth your curves.
🍎 Apple-Shaped: Fuller Midsection with Slimmer Legs
Your goal might be to feel more supported around your midsection. The right shapewear can provide both comfort and posture support. Try:
- 360° tummy control briefs for core compression - for example, click HERE
- Shaping bodysuits to smooth and lift - for example, click HERE
- Underbust styles so you can pair with your favorite bra - for example, click HERE
✨ Pro tip: Look for back support features — they can make a big difference in all-day wear.
⏳ Hourglass: Balanced Curves with Defined Waist
If you have a naturally defined waist, the right shapewear can help enhance that curve without flattening your hips or bust. Choose:
- Waist cinchers or clinchers for definition for example, click HERE
- Open-bust bodysuits to let your curves shine for example, click HERE
- Shaping panties with light-to-medium control for example, click HERE
✨ Pro tip: Go for targeted compression, you don’t need full-body shaping if your proportions are already balanced.
🧊 Rectangle: Straighter Shape, Less Definition
Want a more contoured shape or just a smoother finish under clothes? You’ve got options:
- Shaping corset to define waist and hips - for example, click HERE
- Peplum waistbands or hourglass cuts to create curves - for example, click HERE
✨ Pro tip: Medium compression is your friend, not too much, not too little.
Real Talk: It’s Your Choice
Labels are helpful, but they don’t define you. You might be a mix of shapes, and that’s beautiful. Go with what feels good and gives you the support you want. Try a few styles, move in them, wear them out. The best shapewear is the one you forget you’re wearing
