Product Information

Fit: "I generally opt for shapewear that smooths my midriff as for me that's the area I often look for added support, however I did like the thigh smoothing and butt lifting abilities of these shorts. A great replacement for my usual anti-chafing shorts, I found these worked particularly well under close fitting items such as pencil skirts, or under trousers when I felt I wanted extra contour." A little bit smoothing, a little bit compressing, this bodysuit cinches your waist in all the right ways offering a mix of heavy and light compression through three layers of fabric on the body and a single layer on the thighs. This tummy control bodysuit follows the natural curves of your body, blurring any bumps and hiccups on your thighs, hips, and belly. It also has mesh on the legs to alleviate any potential discomfort in the pelvis area. This shapewear piece can sculpt your figure with its built-in hook and eye and zip corset. You can wear your own bra due to its open-bust construction, too. We applaud Smash + Tess for showcasing models with different body types in the garment as well, because it gives shoppers a good idea of how it might look on them. Though it doesn’t go up to a 6XL like the Girlfriend Collective Fern Coco Scoop, it does go up to a 4XL, which is much more inclusive than many other options we found. The options are practically limitless. Bodysuits act as the first layer to an outfit, so you can pair them with any bottom that your fashionable heart desires. The best part is that a good bodysuit will give every outfit combo a more tailored feel. “What’s so amazing about bodysuits is the versatility and cross-functionality,” Stewart says. “They can be worn across all occasions, which makes them star players within one’s wardrobe.”

Not all bodysuits serve as basic tank tops. Some are a statement on their own, and that includes this option from Goldsign. Personal stylist and founder of Howtobeestylish, Bee Stewart, recommends Goldsign for anyone looking to add some opulence to their wardrobe. “What I love most about this piece is that it isn’t as casual as most bodysuits tend to be,” she tells InStyle. “It’s very elevated and dressy, which is the cheat code to make any outfit feel put together without putting much thought into it.”Girlfriend Collective is known for its high-quality and sustainable clothing, crafting their pieces with the environment and the consumer in mind. The “Coco Scoop” is made of 89 percent recycled plastic bottles and has a lightweight, soft feel to it. The inclusive size range covers bodies from XXS to 6XL; plus, you have the option to choose between a thong or brief bottom.

Quality of materials: "With a lovely soft handle, I love that they have ensured the gusset of the briefs is 100% cotton for breathability. It's these little details of form, function and cost that set M&S apart from its rivals." It’s just as important to pay attention to what you don’t see: The bodysuit’s bottom. A snap or hook-and-eye closure makes using the restroom easy (that way, you don’t have to take the whole bodysuit off). If you’re trying to avoid underwear lines, choose a thong bodysuit. There are bodysuits with full-coverage bottoms, though, if you find those more comfortable. What We Don’t Love: Though the bodice is structured to support your chest, the cups are a tad too small for bigger busts. Available in seven different colors and in sizes XS to 5XL, Kim Kardashian's SKIMS brand is one of the most inclusive shapewear and lingerie brands on the market and one of the best plus size shapewear brands thanks to its extensive size range, that fits up to a size 26. Hot on technological fabrics, the brand manipulates fabric with a tights-like aesthetic for shapewear with great stretch that will still contour your shape.

What To Consider When Shopping For Bodysuits With Built-In Bras

Much like the name suggests, it gives you a 70’s dancing queen vibe. The material is mostly made of cotton, so it doesn’t have the same silky feel as the Skims option, but still provides ample comfort. Note that all of Los Angeles Apparel’s bodysuits run a little small, so size up if you're unsure. We did find it a little tight around the thigh, however. On our bigger bottoms, the leg openings dug ever-so-slightly into the flesh which only started to become uncomfortable after a few hours of wear. Light compression (light control): This is the right option for you if you’re shopping for shapewear to wear under your work clothes or have specific body parts that you want to smooth out regularly. Part of Old Navy’s body-positive collection, this piece features a wide size range (up to 4XL) and beautifully hugs curves without feeling restrictive. Overall, we love this bodysuit for its quality, comfort, and impossibly flattering silhouette. It is, however, at risk of shrinking should you throw it in the dryer. Make sure to hang-dry instead to maintain the original shape.
