Shapewear has become a game-changing undergarment that empowers women to enhance their natural curves. Shapewear also helps to achieve a smooth, streamlined silhouette. However, with so many styles, fabrics, and cuts available, choosing the right shapewear that’s best for your body type can seem overwhelming. Let’s dive in to understand the different body shapes and find the perfect shapewear solutions from Shapellx.
Understanding Your Body Type
Before going into specific shapewear options, it’s important to identify your body type. Every woman is uniquely beautiful, and most women fall into common categories with different shapewear needs.
- Hourglass body shape—Those with an hourglass body shape have a balanced bust and hips with a defined waist.
- Pear-shaped body shape—For a pear-shaped body, the hips are wider than the shoulders.
- Apple-shaped body shape—Women with an apple-shaped body carry the weight around the midsection, with slimmer hips and legs.
- Rectangle body shape—For a rectangle body shape, the bust, waist and hips are similar in width.
- Inverted Triangle body shape—Those with an inverted triangle body shape have broader shoulders with narrower hips.
Knowing your body type will let you choose shapewear that accentuates your best features and offers targeted support where needed.
Types of Shapewear for Each Body Type
Hourglass Figures
For hourglass figures, the aim is to highlight curves, define the waist, and smooth out any bulges. To accentuate the waistline, a high full bodysuit like this Bare Essentials 3 In 1 Shaping Tank Brief Bodysuit is perfect. This 3-in-1 design (bra+vest+corset) offers firm compression while maintaining comfort. It has two compressive bonings to define the waist. The tank style with wide shoulder straps would not dig into the skin, making it comfortable for wearing long hours. The high back coverage is ideal for eliminating back bulge.

Pear-Shaped Figures
When it comes to pear-shaped figures, the goal is to balance proportions. This can be done by smoothing the hips and thighs while emphasizing the waist and bust. A pair of thigh-smoothing shorts can provide targeted smoothing for hips and thighs without flattening the body curves. Seamless bras can be worn with these shaping shorts to enhance the bust and draw attention upward.

Apple-Shaped Figures
Slimming the midsection and creating a more defined waistline are best for those with apple-shaped bodies. A pair of high waisted shapewear shorts that offer firm compression around the tummy and waist is an ideal option.

Rectangle Bodies
The goal is to create curves and define the waist for rectangular body shapes. A waist trainer can add volume to the waistline and create an hourglass effect.

Inverted Triangle Figures
The goal is to balance broader shoulders with narrower hips. It is recommended that a full coverage mid-thigh bodysuit can broaden the hips slightly to balance the proportions.
