As we all know, Fashion is fast, ever changing and often ruthless. Trends play a key role in the current scenario of fashion, and trends keep changing. Being 'curvy' is one of the most followed trend globally and among celebrities. And these 'curves' don't necessarily come from extreme workouts or dieting. Most celebrities often reveal that they use Shapewear under their form-fitting garments and some celebrities openly promote the use of Shapewear! Now, the big question is, what exactly IS this shapewear and does it really help?

What is Shapewear?
Shapewear is basically a Foundation Garment. These Shapewear Garments are categorised according to level or shape control offered - for instance, light, medium or firm. These garments are all a part of knitwear, yes, it's hard to believe. The high elastic property of knits is most favourable for these garments. They are made using polyester, spandex and cotton, in various blends. For extreme shaping or contouring, the percentage of spandex in the blend is increased. The most common and widely preferred brands of shapewear are Spanx, Hanes, Victoria's Secret, Marks and Spencer and Fruit of the Loom.

Does Shapewear really work?
Yes, Shapewear does work! These garments help to contain any extra fat in your body, they help to smoothen out parts like your waist and stomach and thus give you a more toned look. Shapewear is best worn under a fitted bodycon dress, pencil skirts or tight tops. They help women to feel confident and secure in this world of body-shamers. And it goes without saying, when you feel good inside, you feel good outside!
