New Year’s Eve is right around the corner, so you’re probably thinking, “How will I fit into my party ensemble after all those eggnog cocktails, gingerbread cookies, and a hefty serving of Christmas ham?” With a little help from SPANX®, a smoother silhouette is just an undergarment away. Whichever style you choose, these three shaping all-stars will be there to back you up.
The Mid-Thigh Shaper
Wear With: Form-fitting dresses and pencil skirts, especially body-con styles.
Grab this before wiggling into your best curve-hugging ensemble. This layer comfortably trims the tummy, hips, and thighs while shaping your rear – all sans underwear lines. Since it hits above the knee and forgoes leg bands, you can consider bunching, sagging, and revealing seams non-issues.
The Hide-and-Sleek Half-Slip
Wear With: Dresses and skirts, especially voluminous or A-line silhouettes.
Craving a bit more coverage with that swingy hemline? Worried someone might be able to peek through your silk party dress? Fear not: This waistband-free (as in, no pinching) slip is coming to the rescue. And its seamless edges lie flat against your skin for an invisible support system.
The High-Waisted Panty
Wear With: Denim, or even 70s-inspired wide-legged pants.
Meet the ideal match for high-waisted skinnies and those trendy patterned trousers in your closet. These briefs boast serious smoothing power, hinting at a tighter core thanks to a double-layer tummy-control panel. (Meaning you can say bye to that muffin top.)
