The Guide to Body Shaperwear

Dogs are man’s best friends. Body shaperwear are women’s. They look not unlike something you would expect a Hollywood celebrity to wear at a pool party, except almost all actresses unfailingly have goddess like bodies, and unfortunately a majority of the women do not. This is where body shapewear comes in.

Body shapewear helps nip and tuck the wearer’s body in exactly the areas they want. These are specially designed by stitching together panels of clothing using technology to maximize efficiency and minimize discomfort. The makers of body shapers have ensured that the product is available across all countries in all colours, so that women, irrespective of their race can find one that matches their skin tone. Also, most shapers are seamless, which is a big advantage as this ensures that the undergarment is not seen through the dress. 

Body shapers, as the name suggests, help tone the entire body. They reduce the waistline, help correct posture and make the stomach region appear flat. The overall effect is pleasing to many as it gives the wearer a smooth and toned silhouette. Many brands carry body shapers- Victoria’s Secret, Spanx, etc.

Societal pressures were at an all time high on women to look their best in the Victorian era. Even though it is not that intense now, the media has successfully created the template for a ‘perfect body’. Not everyone is genetically blessed- and they have body shapewear to help them.

Best Shapewear for Wedding Dresses

One of the most important days of a woman’s life is her wedding day. On that fateful day, perfection is a necessity. Before the actual wedding, brides take countless hours to fawn over which dress to wear for what occasion and which underwear to wear to minimize flashing. It is only fitting that shapewear plays a major role in this.

Most wedding dresses have some variation or other of shapewear stitched into them. Shapewear for wedding dresses are usually purchased as individual items in the form of body control dresses, corselettes, shaping camisoles, etc.

The best shapewear for wedding dresses is one which matches their skin tone. If it matches their skin tone or at the very least is an approximation of the colour, it helps the bride avoid unflattering photos of her underwear under the glare of the camera flash. Many women match their underwear to their dress, only to realise with horror at the time of the wedding that the camera flash is ensuring that their underwear is seen. May newbies make the mistake of trying one size smaller if their shapewear does not help to nip and tuck their body. What they should do is try a size bigger.


Shapewear is a blessing in disguise and can make all women look and feel beautiful on their wedding day. It is incredibly versatile and is comfortable too, given that it is worn only for a few hours at a time.

Frolic Around the Beach In Active Swimwear

A beautiful day at the beach has a few prerequisites- the beach should not be crowded, the weather should be not too warm but not too cold, and there should be just the right number of people who throw admiring glances at you- too many and it becomes creepy, too less and it is a waste of time to work out and get into that gym body. This is where activeswimwear comes in.

Active swimwear comes in multiple forms, and can broadly be classified into one pieces and two pieces. Most athletes initially start out with using a one piece while practicing to avoid unsightly tan lines and sunburns. While one piece suits do help in their problem, most experienced athletes swear by two piece active swimwear too. If one knows their own body’s limitations and what suits them, it becomes easy to figure out how to use the sun’s glorious heat to their advantage. Two piece swimsuits actually make vigorous work outs easier to go through and help increase ventilation, which in turn helps to reduce the sweat. With a layer of sunscreen and a good two piece, it becomes easy to achieve that model like look by getting tan lines exactly where you want them while simultaneously getting fit.


Picking out swimwear for when one has to work out or exercise is the same as any other swimwear- different designs work for different body types. One does not have to sacrifice style for utility.
