Best shapewear 2019

 From high-waist knickers to shaping dresses

AS CHRISTMAS party season approaches, a shapewear piece that slips under any frock can make you feel confident and comfortable – and like you can have all the mince pies.

While shapewear has long divided opinions – some insist it’s liberating, others deride it for being anti-feminist – one thing’s for sure: we’re not talking about the girdles of decades past anymore.

Shapewear in 2019 is a lot more targeted, comfortable and stylish than it's ever been before

Modern shapewear is designed to be worn under anything and everything. It smooths and targets specific body parts like the tum or bum, using hi-tech fabrics and employing stylish silhouettes you no longer need to hide.

It’s also big business: according to the NPD Group, the US shapewear market is valued at $526 million.

The good news is, shapewear isn’t about creating an unrealistic look these days. These pieces can be worn from morning until night, while working, exercising or relaxing.

Of course, you can still go for a more dramatic, sculpted silhouette: fans of the Kardashian effect can get the Jessica Rabbit to look by purchasing Kim K’s newest shapewear collection, SKIMS, which promises to ‘smooth, sculpt and enhance’.

While Spanx remain leaders in the field – they've evolved beyond shapewear under clothes to create shaping trousers and leggings – lookout for newer shapewear brands like Heist Studios, which is disrupting shapewear as we know it with an all-female innovation team grounded in athletic styling and fabrics, to create shapewear that neither looks, nor feels, like shapewear... yet still does the trick.
