If they wear shapewear 1 size smaller, they can look slimmer and go down a size. But the truth is, it only makes them feel uncomfortable instead of giving that sleek silhouette they always dream of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons of misconceptions about shapewear, that\u2019s why we mess up so much when buying and dressing in it. So, let\u2019s discuss the slip-ups we\u2019re making and how to steer clear of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Size Matters<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking \u201csmaller is better\u201d is making us buy the wrong shapewear. We tend to believe that wearing smaller shapewear will give us a flattering sleek figure, but that\u2019s not always the case. Instead, it gives you weird bumps, and uneven shapes, making you feel uncomfortable even more. Shapewear is all about compression in specific areas, so just make sure you know your size and pick one that fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Lack of Variety<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We get it, you&#8217;re attached to that one shapewear you can\u2019t part with. But wearing that same bra all the time makes it less durable and less effective. From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/shape-wear\/thigh-shaper\/s\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/shape-wear\/thigh-shaper\/s\/\">thigh-smoothing shapers<\/a> to rear-lifting shapewear. With so many options available, why stick to just one shapewear? Plus, it\u2019s better to have multiple pieces for hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"widgetDetailMain\">\n<h3>Related Story<\/h3>\n<div class=\"widgetRow\">\n<div class=\"imgDetailWidget\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/static\/images\/resp\/club-clovia-index-content%20-image\/shapewear-revamped\/Shapewear-glossary.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"categoryDetailWidget\">\n<h4>Flab to Fab- Shapewear to the Rescue<\/h4>\n<div class=\"widgetDescription\">Shapewear is still thought of as uncomfortable, body-numbing or \u2018too-tight\u2019 apparel of yore! When truly shapewear technology has largely revolutionized in present times &#038; comfort is a priority factor for modern manufacturers. Most of you find it rather tricky to get the right kind of shapewear. But, it actually is a cakewalk only if you pay heed to the basics.<br \/><a class=\"widgetLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/flab-to-fab-shapewear-to-the-rescue\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Choosing the Wrong Colour &amp; Fabric<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever had shapewear that was supposed to make you look sleek, but instead, it drew all the attention to the area you wanted to keep hidden? How did that make you feel? So, it\u2019s super important to pick the right colour. The perfect shapewear should stay hidden and not steal the spotlight. That&#8217;s why go for classic black and beige ones that blend seamlessly under any outfit. For fabrics, go for something super comfy, stretchy, breathable, and lightweight and avoid wearing those fabrics that might irritate your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>&nbsp;No Matching Shapewear for Individual Outfit<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>There is nothing on this earth that can be universally applicable or suitable for everyone. Shapewear comes in all sorts of sizes, and styles, and for different areas. To look sleek and sexy in a tight dress, opt for a high-waisted, strapless shaper instead of bulky shapewear with straps. If you\u2019re wearing a flowy dress, a lightweight, knee-length shapewear would work wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Compression Levels<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Shapewear comes in different compression levels to target and tone different problem areas. For everyday wear, light compression shapewear is ideal, offering comfort all day long. It might not give you that toned, sleek look you want but it works for everyday wear. To look more toned and sculpted, try high-compression shapewear. But remember, this shapewear isn\u2019t meant for all-day wear, it can mess with your breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every woman\u2019s body is totally unique and diva-like and the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/shape-wear\/s\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/shape-wear\/s\/\">shapewear <\/a>should make you feel good and confident and accentuate your natural curves instead of discomforting you. Avoid making these mistakes while buying a shapewear! Start by figuring out what areas you want to improve and choose shapewear that hides them while keeping you comfy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"widgetDetailMain\">\n<h3>Related Story<\/h3>\n<div class=\"widgetRow\">\n<div class=\"imgDetailWidget\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clovia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/clovia-picture-long-leg-shaping-body-suit-in-nude-13208-300x300.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"categoryDetailWidget\">\n<h4>5 Secrets For Shopping The Perfect Shapewear<\/h4>\n<div class=\"widgetDescription\">Working out or dieting to get that perfect shape takes a lot of strong will and hard work.
