Here's what we look for in good shapewear for women: These days, shapewear for women comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and cuts, so whether you're shopping for your wedding or an everyday staple, there's something out there for you that can even replace your favorite bra and/or underwear. With so many styles to choose from, it can still be hard to know which ones actually suit your needs like offering tummy control for your lower belly pooch or helping slim your waist or lifting your tush, here are the best shapewear for every occasion:
From shapewear bodysuits to shapewear for dresses to plus-size shapewear, the women's shapewear pieces ahead are either picked by the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab, vetted through customer reviews or recommended by professional bridal alterers, fashion experts and plus-sized stylists. We also try them in real life to make sure they fit well and feel good. We consider the washability, material and more to get a sense of whether the fabric will hold up over time. Our Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab experts and fiber scientists regularly test undergarments of all kinds, stretching across bras, pantyhose, swimwear and even period underwear. Gone are the days of hyper-restrictive styles: "You should be able to bend and move, and if you can’t breathe, it’s not the right fit for you."
"Shapewear should enhance your figure, and if it fits well, it should really feel like your own skin," says Tina Zimmerman, Kleinfeld Bridal's director of alterations. Shapewear has an evolving reputation – one that no longer serves to hide insecurities or alter your body entirely, but rather smooths and slightly re-shapes your silhouette, says Lauren Messiah, a fashion stylist and the author of Style Therapy: 30 Days to Your Signature Style. Our top picks, based on testing notes from the Good Housekeeping Institute, remain the same. We updated this article in November 2022 to ensure the information reflected current prices, features and more.
