They say clothes make the man, but for women, it's often what you wear underneath the clothes that counts. What would your favorite little black dress be without a pair of flattering womens stockings? How would your tummy look in a babydoll top without a body shaper underneath? Of course, not all women body shapers, opaque and sheer tights, and womens leotards are created equal. Let's explore some of your shaping options, and what to look for in each:
Women Body Shapers
Women body shapers are products designed to make you look slimmer under your clothes. These feel almost like slightly thinner womens leotards, although there are many different styles available. With women body shapers, you have to think about three things: color, cut, and firmness. For color, most women body shapers are available in black and nude. Some women prefer nude, as it is less likely to be visible under light-colored items of clothing. Alternatively, others enjoy black women body shapers, which often look better when getting dressed (or undressed). Women body shapers also come in a variety of cuts, from high-waisted thongs to camisoles to strapless dresses. For these, you want to find a shaper that is similar to the outfit you plan on wearing over it (a halter top requires a halter shaper, etc.). Thus, you might need different shapers for different outfits. Find women body shapers that cover all of your problem areas without too much extra — there's no sense in compressing an already-flat stomach, for example.
Womens Stockings
Womens stockings and sheer tights are both useful components for wearing dresses and skirts with the option of giving yourself added support. They are also great for keeping your legs warm on winter days. Depending on your shaping needs, you might choose womens stockings with extra-spadex "control tops" over the panties; keep in mind, though, that all tights will hold you in at least a little. Womens stockings and tights might also provide support in the calf or toe areas.
Opaque stockings are available in classic black, brown, and navy, as well as fun bright colors and even patterns like argyle and stripes. No matter your personality, opaque tights are a great way to show it off! Some people even like to wear them under their jeans with holes in the knees.
Sheer products are more susceptible to tearing, which means you need to find sheer tights that are strong enough to last for a while. (Hint: They're not going to be at your local drugstore.) Like women body shapers, most sheer tights are usually black or nude (and sometimes white), but these are often available in a variety of shades. It might seem silly to have 15 types of nude, for example, but this is going to allow you to find the sheer tights color that best flatters you skin tone. You might even want to invest in multiple shades to go with different outfits.
