Luckily, the market is chock-full of great shapewear that promises to smooth out any lumps or bumps where you want to. There's certainly nothing wrong, either, with turning to a pair of Spanx or shaping shorts when you're in need of a little oomph—celebs do it all the time, especially when walking the red carpet. If you are wearing very short skirts and dresses these are a much better alternative to magic knickers (body shaper shorts). This means you can wear them in place of your own knickers, reducing the likelyhood of VPL (visible panty lines) showing through.

A shapewear vest top proves incredibly versatile in any wardrobe—in ways you mightn’t initially expect. They are big enough to envelope quite a lot of bulging, but small enough to sit neatly under most outfits. They go up nice and high so they cover all of my stomach and sides, which is what I was looking for. If you’re in the market for options that will shape your chest, waist and thighs in one go, our shapewear bodysuits are your best bet.

The really good bottom shapers do tend to be a bit more expensive, but if you can afford it I would go for a bit of bum shaping any day! High waisted control pants combat this by covering the waist and midriff and ending up just under your bra.
