Stars with Shapewear
In Hollywood, it’s no secret that looking like a million dollars is just part of every A-lister’s job. Celebrities are known for their enviable figures, and while they certainly spend time working out and watching what they eat, they also know that how you dress can play a huge role in how you look. For many stars, shapewear is an essential part of their daily wardrobes, helping to streamline their physiques and get them camera-ready. We’re taking a look at some celebrity shapewear sightings and how these innovative shapers can efficiently transform your body.
Shaping Briefs

When you think of shapewear, you likely picture shaping briefs first. These comfy styles are similar to biker shorts, and they help to smooth and tighten the lower body. Most women, celebrities included, utilize nude-colored shapers, which tend to remain discreet (although accidents do happen, as evidenced above!) Not only do these styles keep dreaded muffin top rolls at bay, but they also cinch the midriff and lower abs.

Celebrities regularly don daring dresses at major events, and one of the most eye-catching styles is a gown with a plunging neckline. To prevent any wardrobe malfunctions, it’s wise to use bra solutions to keep the gown adhered to your body strategically. Consider double-sided tape, breast petals and plunge bras to best showcase this look without worrying about exposing too much. If you’re opting for a back-baring style instead, look for backless bras and shapers that keep you supported without a visible band along the back.

Whether it’s all natural or boosted with the right curve-enhancing shapewear, an ample derriere greatly enhances an hourglass figure. Padded underwear is a smart way to smooth, lift and shape your backside to perfection, much like the stars’ above. Look for panties with built-in padding to add curves, or utilize lifting shapers with cut-outs at the buttocks for a perkier rear view.

Another trend that celebrities swear by to give them their trim midsections is waist training. The process uses a standard corset or waist cincher to apply compression to the abs, subsequently tightening and firming the area. In fact, several actresses have sworn by this method to help them regain their pre-baby figures.

Jessica Alba, Kourtney Kardashian, Cate Blanchett and Brooke Burke are just a few celebrities to praise the benefits of post-pregnancy shapewear. Blanchett reported that she stocked up on Spanx after the birth of her child, while Alba committed to wearing shapers for months after she gave birth (a process that she called “sweaty, but worth it.”) Kardashian and Burke loved their shaping results so much that they both created their own shapewear designs for postpartum wear.

Holiday Party Shapewear Guide
It’s that time of year again! The holidays are upon us, and that means plenty of opportunities to dress up for all those special events and family gatherings on your calendar. While it’s tempting to focus solely on finding pretty cocktail dresses and elegant separates, you don’t want to overlook the one piece that makes every other item in your closet look better: shapewear! Before you start sending out those RSVPs, it’s time to shop for the perfect holiday shapewear essentials.
Comfort First
The last thing you want to do at a social gathering is fight with shapewear that rides up, slips down or cuts off your air supply. Fortunately, bodysuits and body shapers offer a wonderful alternative to traditional corsets, and their slimming construction is as comfy as a fitted tank top. A nude style with a low or strapless neckline is a must-have for looking sleek and smooth in any ensemble. Bodysuits with higher necklines can easily double as layering tanks when you need a little extra coverage beneath a low-cut blouse, and a nude shade adds discreet coverage beneath sheer designs. Stock up on different necklines to accommodate multiple outfits, and look for a range of bottoms, as well. Bodysuits with thongs, shaping briefs and capri-length legs can all work wonders under a variety of hemlines and cuts.

Sexy Styles
One of the top concerns with shapewear is how it appears once your clothes are off. Most women want the option of having appealing, pretty shapewear styles instead of being limited with only head-to-toe nude body shapers. Consider sexy alternatives such as corsets, shaping slips, garter belts and hosiery. These elegant pieces boost your confidence and help to make shapewear a luxurious component of your daily style.
Coordinating Separates
One-piece shapers are wonderfully versatile, but separates can truly boost your wearing options. Look for strapless bras, backless torsolettes and longline bras with deep v necklines to help flatter any gown. Pair them with matching shapewear panties, briefs or slips for a coordinating and flattering duo.
Double Duty Pieces
Some innovative shaping solutions have officially transformed shapewear into everyday wear! Look for bodysuits that double as basics or intricate tops that are made for fancy occasions. Pair these with everything from satin maxi skirts and sequin trousers to classic high-waisted jeans for ultimate figure flattery and styling versatility.
Following these basic guidelines will help you look your best over the holidays while still enjoying the holiday spirit.
Men’s Shapewear Anxiety
Leo Upper Body Full Compression Men’s Shaper
Under the impression that shapewear is a more of a female thing? Think again! Men can greatly benefit from these versatile essentials, and Classic Shapewear offers a wide variety of styles and solutions to accommodate all of your shapewear and activewear needs.
Benefits of Men’s Shapewear
Just as women’s shapewear products are filled with different options and uses, men’s shapewear is made with multiple goals in mind. Whether you desire increased confidence and improved body image, stomach flattening, thigh compression, enhanced posture or a lifted behind, there’s a product specifically tailored to address your concerns.
1. T-Shirts and Tanks
One of the least detectable forms of men’s shapewear is a control tank or t-shirt. This seemingly basic essential is transformed into a stomach and chest compressor that tightens your core for a visibly slimmer form and improves your overall posture – all while offering the breathable comfort you expect from this everyday wardrobe staple.
2. Waist Control
If you want to slim the look of your stomach and abs, our assortment of waist cinchers will eliminate unwanted stomach bulge. Available in discreet nude tones, these shapers offer a streamlined fit while contouring your torso comfortably.
3. Boxer Briefs
Leo High Waist Control Boxer Brief
The average boxer brief is upgraded with high waist control to take you through your workout looking fit and feeling fresh. These boxers also provide lower back support to improve your overall form, while comfortable microfiber fabric dries quickly for a clean finish.
4. Compression Leggings
Our selection of compression leggings and shorts helps keep you cool during your workouts while improving circulation and increasing muscle recovery and athletic endurance. These activewear pieces offer a clean, streamlined aesthetic and keep sweat at bay by dispersing heat.
5. Enhancement Briefs
If you’re looking for a way to add shape and roundness to your backside, enhancer shorts are the solution you’ve been searching for. These briefs add lift and volume to your glutes for an attractive and masculine rear view. Wear underneath your jeans and slacks to see a visible difference in the fit of your wardrobe basics, and don’t be surprised if your friends inquire about your workout routine.
6. Vests
If you’ve recently undergone a procedure on your abdomen, chest or back – or if you plan to undergo an operation in the near future – a shapewear vest can help with your overall recovery. Zippers and hook & eye closures allow for easy adjustments, and the breathable fabric helps keep you comfortable as you heal.
Don’t let the ladies have all the fun. Our shapewear offers the solutions you need to ease your men’s shapewear anxiety.
Debunking Shapewear Myths
Despite the many noted advancements in fabric, design and technology, many shapewear myths unfortunately still abound. Allow us to debunk some of these silly yet persistent claims that are thankfully just not true of modern shapewear styles.
1. Shapewear is made for larger people
One of the biggest misconceptions about shapewear in general is that it’s specifically geared for larger individuals, but this is far from the case. Shapewear can benefit any body type or concern, from the fittest, most athletic builds to the most petite frames. Even the thinnest Hollywood starlets regularly use shapewear to accentuate and smooth their curves, and our range of styles comes in an abundance of sizes to accommodate any height, weight and body shape.

2. Shapewear is uncomfortable
Sure, when the corset was the go-to shaping device, it wasn’t exactly known as being a cozy accessory. Today’s fabric and design innovations have helped transition shapewear from the suffocating and impractical devises of the past to stretchy and comfortable styles that are able to be worn daily.
3. Shapewear is unattractive
Many people mistakenly assume that shapewear is never to be seen due to its unappealing aesthetics, but this is simply untrue! So many styles are designed with femininity and sexiness in mind, and these designs are implemented in modern lingerie. From soft loungewear bodysuits to sexy teddies and bustiers, the look of shapewear has advanced into very appealing territory.
4. Shapewear is only for the ladies
Women aren’t the only ones who can benefit from our shapewear. Men’s styles are gaining popularity and giving guys opportunities to improve the look of their own physiques. Whether you want to work on your posture or athletic performance, trim your abs or visibly enhance your glutes, there are plenty of options to give you optimal body-sculpting results.
5. Shapewear works best the smaller and tighter it is
You may think that buying the smallest body shaper is the fastest way to a streamlined look, but that logic is actually faulty. Buying your shapewear in a size too small can even have unflattering results and work against you. For the best fit, choose a size that caters to your measurements rather than simply sizing down in the hope that it will work more effectively. A well-made shaper is going to work well in the size it’s designed for and keep you comfortable in the process.
6. Shapewear is embarrassing
Terrified of your husband seeing you in your shaping undergarments? No need to fret – today’s styles are modest and oftentimes incredibly sexy. Plus, the confidence you’ll have while wearing these smoothing designs will likely remove any anxiety about being seen in their slimming silhouettes. As Vera Wang famously stated, “A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.”

Types of Plus Size Shapewear and Buying Tips
At Classic Shapewear, we offer a wide selection of styles specifically catered to plus size beauties. Browsing through so many different solutions can take a toll even on the most enthusiastic shopper, so we’ve put together a few helpful shapewear buying tips and strategies to ensure that you get the results you expect.

Always check the measurements
Different brands mean different sizing charts, so don’t rely on guesswork when it comes to finding your right size. Review each garment’s sizing information for the most accurate fit, and don’t hesitate to size up as needed. No one knows the size but you, and a good fit is a flattering fit.
Consider your body’s unique needs
Are you looking for shapewear that whittles your waist, or are you focused more on your thighs and hips? Do you have a special occasion coming up that requires a special bra, or are you looking for an all-around body shaper that smoothes and defines your features? Knowing your exact needs will make your shopping experience much simpler, as many shapewear items target multiple issues in one smart design.
Buy the correct size for your frame
It’s so tempting to size down, and many people assume that tighter shapewear is a guaranteed way to look even slimmer in your clothing. The truth is that ill-fitting shapers aren’t going to fit correctly and are more likely to bunch or roll down in an unflattering display. Save yourself the discomfort and fuss by purchasing the size that reflects your proportions.
Become familiar with your options
Torsolettes, brasselettes and bralettes – oh my! So many options exist in the world of shapewear, and that’s a great thing! Multiple style variations can seem intimidating, however, when you’re not sure what each design is capable of or which piece is best for your individual goals. Sip a cup of coffee and unwind while browsing through the main styles featured on our site. To target specific concerns, click through our categories for various figure-shaping solutions like waist-cinchers, post-surgical garments, anti-cellulite technology and butt lifters.
Don’t sacrifice style or comfort
Shapewear should contour your body, not suffocate it! Look for soft and cozy fabrics like microfiber and cotton for a shaping solution that’s both effective and comfortable. We also offer sexy and stylish lingerie and clothing styles that shape your silhouette and your closet.

Post-Surgical Life and Compression Shapewear
If you expect to undergo a surgical operation or are currently expecting a child, we understand that the recovery process is likely on your mind. At Classic Shapewear, we offer a range of post-surgical and post-pregnancy shapewear designs that work to help make your overall recovery a comfortable and speedy one.

From waist cinchers and abdominal binders to girdle belts, these shapers flatten the stomach area while providing the gentle comfort and adequate support that your body requires to properly heal.
Body Shapers
Rather than focusing on one specific area of concern, full body shapers support different body zones, from the torso and back to the hips, thighs and buttocks. This intelligent design is a great choice for post-operative recovery and affects multiple regions in one multi-tasking style.
Stabilizing Bands
Renolife by Annette Stabalizing Band
If you plan to undergo breast augmentation surgery, stabilizing bands can assist with properly positioning the breast implants with secure but breathable support. Comfortable and soft, these bands are helpful in the recovery process and gentle enough for the post-surgical site.
Nursing Tanks
Nurse your little one while you get your body back to its pre-baby state with the help of nursing tanks. This innovative post-pregnancy solution allows for quick and easy nursing access and provides supportive compression panels to restore your tummy to a flattened silhouette.
Compression Arm Sleeves
Sleeved bodysuits and compression arm sleeves provide upper arm support and improve posture by gently pulling your shoulders back to reduce unpleasant back and neck strain. The slimming effect is also an excellent foundation for those who worry about the size of their upper arms and triceps, and the sleek design fits comfortably underneath dresses and blouses.
Face and Neck Compression
Face and neck compression shapewear is a helpful component in recovering from cosmetic facial procedures such as face lifts or ear and chin implants. These helpful compression tools are made with outward-facing seams to keep the facial skin smooth and supported, and the Velcro openings allow for easy, non-bothersome adjustments as needed.
Post-Liposuction Essentials
Salome High-Back Liposculpture Girdle
Enhance the results of your liposuction procedure with the inclusion of post-lipo shapewear. These diverse designs cover any post-operation areas that require support and compression in breathable fabrics for a comfortable recovery.
We’re here to help you through your post-surgical and postpartum needs, and our solutions are tailored to effectively meet all different kinds of procedural and cosmetic concerns.
How to Wear Women’s Shapewear
With the vast assortment of shapewear options on the market, it can be tricky to know where to even start looking for the specific pieces you want that will accommodate all of your individual needs. Learning the ins and outs of wearing shapewear will save you time and help guide you through the overall process.

1. Wear it Fitted to Your Measurements
Too many women are wearing the wrong bra sizes, and doing so derails any efforts your shapewear will make in flattering your unique proportions. Take the time to get professionally measured so that the items you purchase will fit you like a dream and serve their purposes accordingly.
2. Wear it Discreetly
The traditional attitude toward shapewear is to wear it undetectably beneath your clothing, giving the coveted illusion of a slimmer and more toned silhouette. Thankfully, these styles have come a long way in terms of comfort, allowing you to breathe while still providing those streamlined benefits. Nude shapewear stays concealed under a range of wardrobe items and is always a safe bet.
3. Wear it in Plain Sight
If you’ve ever wished that your clothing itself could transform your figure the way shapewear can, you’re in luck. Our selection of Colombian jeans and smocked day dresses work double duty to keep you looking stylish and streamlined all on their own.
4. Wear it to Enhance Your Assets
Shapewear does so much more than just smooth and refine those common trouble spots; it also adds the natural look of volume where you want it. Does your low-cut dress require a fuller chest to properly fit? Does your new pencil skirt beg for additional curvature in the back? Utilize bust enhancers and butt lifters to acquire that stunning hourglass shape.
5. Wear it to Accommodate Your Wardrobe
Clothing is meant to be fun, and trends are meant to be tried! Don’t push those strapless dresses, strappy tank tops and tight skirts to the side simply because you don’t know how to accommodate them with the right types of undergarments. Whether you need to eliminate panty lines or support your chest in a plunge gown, shapewear solutions exist to manage anything in your wardrobe.

6. Wear it with Confidence
Never feel ashamed to wear shapewear – wear it proudly knowing that your body looks even more incredible with it on and that you care about your overall presentation. Feeling your best translates into looking that way, and shapewear is a handy tool in facing each day with plenty of confidence.
In the words of former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld, “We are very lucky to be women, so even if we’re wearing trousers, I always wear them with some lace underwear or a very feminine bra – I like that.” What you wear underneath your clothes truly helps shape how you feel in them, and we offer the range of items you need to help you look and feel your best.
