Spanx Women's Higher Power Thigh Slimmer

Product Information

I didn’t want to pin something like a slip or thong with the best-in-class blue ribbon when those are garments meant for specific wardrobe scenarios. Founded in 2000 by Sara Blakely, Spanx is a dynamic women’s brand changing the way women get dressed with a selection of hosiery, underwear and leggings including briefs from hipsters and thongs to boy shorts in nude and black in plain styles to lace details.

You really feel supported” in it, she says, adding that Spanx’s fabrication (a combination of nylon and elastane) is smooth against the body. There were well-established (and highly recommended) brands that scored points on the comfort scale but fell short on having an inclusive enough size range. The misconception that shapewear can’t be sexy and feel great on you while doing its job is dispelled with this piece,” she says, promising that it is totally capable of smoothing you out even with its beautiful, minimal coverage design made from lightweight fabric.It’s even more lingerie inspired than our splurgeworthy recommendation, featuring a paisleylike, peekaboo lace. Levine thinks it “gives you the perfect foundation” because it smooths your stomach, waist, and back and suits most necklines, so you can use it for more than one outfit. I had to play around with the cups and straps to get the right fit over my chest when Spanx sent me this style for review, but once those were adjusted, I was properly lifted up top.

The majority of the other shapewear I tried felt and looked relatively unsexy — I would be embarrassed if anyone saw me in just the shapewear, which definitely impacts how you feel about yourself,” Anello explains. Since you can choose your cup size (from A to F), there’s no “unflattering top that compresses your breasts into one blob,” Anello says. It’s unfortunate how much gut-rearranging and thigh-squeezing shapewear I had to suffer before finding this piece, which is (so far and by far) one of the best bodysuits I’ve tried out. Palep says that whenever she wears the shorts, it doesn’t feel as if she’s adding another layer of clothing, because the designed-to-be-lightweight shorts are both bearable and breathable throughout the day.We have to be honest: Not all shapewear will be enjoyable to wear, especially if it is a full bodysuit that compresses your entire torso. Since it’s a thong, she adds, it’ll work just as well with jeans and pants as it will with skirts and dresses. While it makes shapewear bottoms, Yummie is perhaps best known for its tanks, which are what Levine usually has clients wear for red-carpet and press events. So I rounded up a panel of experts — including boutique owners, plus-size bloggers, and Hollywood costume designers — and asked them about their go-to styles.

And while Levine thinks it is bearable to wear for a formal event in which you’d like to pull out all the stops, reviewers mention it deeply compresses your body and is definitely not intended for everyday use.Find everyday staples that ensure you feel and look good wearing with our Spanx leggings range, from seamless and camo print styles to leather leggings for a chic look. There’s a reason, as Levine says, that “We all think Spanx when we hear shapewear”: For a long time, the company made some of the only (comfortable) options. Brands like Spanx and Nancy Ganz came up as popular brief options, but Nancy Ganz features a limited size range, while Spanx apparently causes you to run warm regardless of how lightweight it is (and no one wants a sweaty butt).
