How To Wear Shapewear With Style

Mention shapewear to a friend and chances are they'll start giggling about giant nanna undies or shapeless body socks that almost suffocate the person wearing them! But how times have changed...

The new look shapewear is incredible and by no means anything to be ashamed about buying or wearing. If Sienna Miller's not afraid to throw a pair on, then what on earth are we all worried about?!

The new Jockey Shapewear holds you in just the right way, in exactly the right places. The entire range is based on comfort and is possibly the easiest way to ensure your body looks its best, every day.

Jockey's range of Shapewear is perfect for wearing underneath today's fashion and everyday essentials. Below we take three hot trends and discuss how you can work shapewear to fit in with every style or occasion so you'll always feel relaxed in knowing you look smooth, sleek and well put together. 

FITTED STRETCH T-SHIRTS
Stretch T-shirts are great for comfortable, relaxed dressing teamed with jeans, but can be unforgiving. Choose a neckline and fit that flatters your bust and skims your body, then decide on the best underwear. Jockey Hide & Sleek Bodysuit is a great no ride-up solution to smooth the body. It's double layer support gives extra shape to your waist and hips, with its wide straps covering your bra. The Jockey Hide & Sleek Singlet is another great choice as it provides smooth sleek shaping to your waist, hips and back.
 


1: I love Taylor T-Shirt AU $18.00 from Supre
2: Jockey Shapewear Hide & Sleek Bodysuit $67.99 from Jockey
3: Jockey Shapewear Hide & Sleek Singlet $57.99 from Jockey

HIGH WAISTED SKIRTS & PANTS
High-waisted skirts and pants were hot last season and are back for summer this year. You want to emphasise your waist with this look, so wear a simple shape on top and tuck-in to create a clean line. Underwear-wise try Jockey Hide & Sleek Boyleg briefs as it shapes and controls the tummy and hips. Its sleek finish also means no bumps or lumps. If you're looking for more support around the thighs go for the Jockey Moderate Control Short which firms and shapes the lower body. It also boasts extra hold across the tummy, hips and thighs.

1: Shona Joy 'Tiki Lace Mini Skirt' $199.00 from Superette
2: Jockey Shapewear Hide & Sleek Boyleg $34.99 from Jockey
3: Jockey Shapewear Moderate Control Short $54.99 from Jockey

FORMAL DRESSES
Everyone wants to look and feel their best for that special dinner, event or party. When looking for the perfect dress choose shapes that suit your figure. While slim fitting styles are great for the slimmer figure, Kiwi's tend to embrace frocks with feature draping and more of a relaxed yet sophisticated feel. These styles are also perfect for shapewear. Choose a full brief like Jockey Light Control Full Brief that lightly supports the tummy and smoothes your hips. Another great option for these styles is the Jockey Hide & Sleek Short, which creates long line smoothing for the lower body. It also shapes the waist, hips and thighs and has a built-in control panel for extra tummy control!


 
1: Sass & Bide (Vie) Gathered Button Up Dress $369.00 from My Catwalk
2: Jockey Shapewear Light Control Full Brief $34.99 from Jockey
3: Jockey Shapewear Hide & Sleek Short $46.99 from Jockey

Now you know how to wear Shapewear with style, so go forth and give it a go! You won't be disappointed.
