Over the Christmas and New Year period of festivities we all want to feel that extra bit sparkly, sexy and fabulous. From party season to having more time for intimate date nights with your partner, this time of year is full of opportunities to dress your best. We all know that feeling your best starts at your foundation. So how can you make your shapewear sexy for Christmas and New Year?
Is Less More?
While we can often make the assumption that sexy always means barely there, this is not the case in reality. Shapewear gives you the chance to leave something to the imagination, while also refining your shape. It’s a win win! Look for control briefs and shorts designed with more elaborate detail and panelling. To make your shapewear sexy for Christmas, you shouldn’t try to hide it but show it off in all its glory. To this end, go for navy or black high waisted control briefs with medium to light compression for that natural and feminine curve.
Classic Cut
Shapewear that takes in your whole torso, from bust to bum, is a classically sexy underwear look. So shop corsets, camis and bodysuits. These pieces give you a sexy hourglass shape, while looking great in their own right. Whether you prefer minimalist smooth lines or a more embellished satin feel, there’s style options out there for you. The great thing about these classic cut torso shapewear garments is that they support your waist and back, which helps to promote an upright posture. Great posture is key for a sexy look.
Perfect Fit
Of course, sizing must come in somewhere. Sizing and compression are vital parts of feeling sexy in your shapewear. Sizes that are too small or compression that is too great are more likely to cause you pain – not sexy! So make sure your shapewear is correct to your measurements or dress size. It should fit snugly without digging into your skin. A widespread shapewear myth may have you thinking that smaller shapewear will be more effective. This is untrue, since too tight shapewear will create bumps in your silhouette, and moreover is inclined to roll up or down or cause discomfort.
Lasting Shapes
Shapewear that is anchored in place will keep you feeling sexy for longer as the underwear won’t budge over the course of an evening. All encompassing styles of shapewear, like a cami or a corset are a spectacular foundation for feeling sexy. This is because they tend to either be anchored from the shoulders or structured through the torso with panels or boning. These styles look great and keep your whole body feeling supported and secure without slipping.
All in the Mind
