Fashion and beauty Q&A: shapewear underwear

Looking for comfortable shapewear? Read our expert advice

Can you recommend some good shapewear underwear for everyday use - I like to wear it under work clothes but find that some designs are just too uncomfortable to wear all day?

 

Control underwear can often be restrictive and uncomfortable when worn for hours at a time. Fortunately, there's a whole new range of styles on the market these days which have tackled the problem, to supply ladies with effective - yet comfortable - support.

 

LA brand Yummie Tummie (available at www.figleaves.com) does a fantastic range of longer length vest tops with a strong and supportive panel around the stomach area, designed to smooth and slim the tummy. Not only are these camisoles super comfortable, they're perfect for everyday layering as well as wearing on their own. Alternatively why not kill two birds with one stone with the built-in support Bodytoner tights from Aristoc? Ideal for wearing with workwear, the range offers four different styles, each targeting a specific problem area. Both convenient and effective, these cleverly designed tights will let you get on with your day in comfort.
