Everyday shapewear: how to incorporate these pieces into your wardrobe?

How can you incorporate shapewear underwear into your everyday wardrobe? While you might be tempted to wear a sculpting bodysuit or a high-waisted shaping panty only on special occasions under an evening dress for a wedding, for example, you should know that shaping lingerie or support lingerie can absolutely be worn daily. We’ve already shared all our tips on how to incorporate a shaping bodysuit into your daily life.

Today we’re sharing all the tips you need to wear firm, shaping underwear every day. What questions should you ask yourself before buying these trendy pieces? Which styles should you prioritise? With what outfits can you wear shapewear lingerie?

Body shape, size and invisibility: the rules of shapewear

You first need to understand the basics of shapewear and keep a few key points in mind before putting on your shaping panties or sculpting bodysuit:

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

• You must always choose shapewear in your actual size! Going down a size in the hope of slimming and shaping your figure is a very bad idea. The result will be extremely uncomfortable! Always opt for shapewear in your true size. At Louloucup, our collection is available from size S to 3XL (S, M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL).

• Remember that shapewear lingerie should be considered a second skin that moves with you. This helps you avoid unnecessary layers. Shaping lingerie is worn to redefine and smooth the body and curves. It must be completely invisible.

Everyday shapewear lingerie: how to choose it?

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

• Choose a brand that puts comfort first. If you plan to wear a shaping panty all day long, it absolutely has to be comfortable: made from soft, skin-friendly fabrics and materials. Ideally, the brand should state on the product page that the style in question can be worn all day without any problem. And that’s the case at Louloucup!

• You need to choose sculpting panties or a shaping bodysuit that doesn’t move and stays in place no matter what you do throughout the day. A secure fit is essential for an optimal experience. It shouldn’t roll down or roll up.

• Choose a brand that truly prioritizes the quality of its products. A bodysuit, panty or shaping brief absolutely has to be well designed and well cut. A long process of design, sketching and testing is needed before offering customers such technical underwear and lingerie. To follow and respect your body’s curves, this support lingerie has to be really special. You should have zero doubts about the quality of the cut, but also about the firmness of the fabrics used. As we explain in 5 tips for wearing shapewear, slimming lingerie comes in different levels of firmness.

• Don’t forget about looks! Finally, we recommend always choosing underwear you genuinely like, in a color you enjoy. Shapewear lingerie may be firm and shaping, but it should also, and above all, be feminine and sexy! Go for styles with pretty lace and sheer details. Black, white or nude, the color matters depending on what you’ll be wearing over it. Granny girdles are long gone! 

In 2024, no compromises between comfort, quality, femininity and support—we want it all!
