Shapewear for everyday: how to incorporate these pieces into your wardrobe?

How can you add shapewear underwear to your everyday wardrobe? While you might be tempted to only wear a shaping bodysuit or high-waisted control panties for special occasions, like under an evening dress for a wedding, know that shapewear or supportive lingerie can also be worn daily. We’ve already shared all our tips for incorporating shapewear into your daily routine.

Today, we're sharing all the tips you need to wear firm and shaping underwear every day. What questions should you ask before buying these trendy accessories? Which styles should you choose? What outfits can you wear shapewear with?

Body shape, size, and invisibility: the basics of shapewear

You need to know the basics of shapewear and remember some essentials before putting on your shaping panties or sculpting bodysuit:

• You should always choose a style that suits your body type: the goal is to pick the underwear that flatters you the most and enhances your natural beauty.

• You should always choose shapewear in your size! Making the mistake of sizing down in hopes of slimming your silhouette is a bad idea. The result will be nothing but uncomfortable! Always go for shapewear that fits. At Louloucup, our collection is available in sizes S to 3XL (S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL).

• Don’t forget that shapewear lingerie should be considered a second skin that moves with you. This helps you avoid unnecessary layering. Shapewear is worn to redefine and reshape your body and curves. It should be completely invisible.

Everyday shapewear: how to choose it?

Follow a few of our tips to choose the trendiest women’s lingerie of 2024—shapewear lingerie:

• Choose a brand that prioritizes comfort above all. If you’re planning to wear shapewear panties all day, they absolutely need to be comfortable: made from soft, gentle, and skin-friendly fabrics. Ideally, the brand should specify on the product page that the model can be worn comfortably all day long. That’s exactly what you get with Louloucup!

• You should choose a sculpting panty or a support bodysuit that stays in place no matter how much you move throughout the day. The fit of your underwear is essential for the best experience. It shouldn’t roll down or bunch up.

• Choose a brand that also prioritizes product quality. A bodysuit, panty, or shaping brief needs to be well-designed and well-tailored. A lot of design, sketching, and thought goes into creating such technical underwear and lingerie. To follow and respect your body’s curves, these support garments are truly special. You should have no doubts about the quality of the cut or the firmness of the fabrics used. As we explain in 5 tips for wearing shapewear, shapewear lingerie comes in varying levels of firmness.

• Don’t forget about style! We always recommend choosing underwear you truly like, in a color you enjoy. Shapewear lingerie can be firm and supportive, but above all, it should be feminine and sexy! Go for styles with pretty lace and sheer details. Black, white, or nude—color matters depending on what you’re wearing. Granny girdles are a thing of the past! 

In 2024, there’s no need to compromise between comfort, quality, femininity, and support—we want it all!
