What is shapewear?

As the name suggests, shapewear refers to shape-enhancing and figure-hugging garments, typically worn under your clothing. Once something reserved for elderly women (and the likes of Bridget Jones!), with her hourglass, shapewear-assisted figure Kim Kardashian has propelled this once-dated garment into the 21st Century. Spanx are no longer your only option. From tummy-control underwear to supportive bodysuits and body-shaping biker shorts, today it comes in all shapes and sizes, with styles now available for every kind of activity.
