Shapewear Leggings
Shapewear leggings are absolutely wonderful garments that fulfil every woman’s dreams. They are different from most garments in this way: shapewear leggings can be worn in two ways- the traditional way of wearing it as an undergarment and the more comfortable way of wearing it on its own.
While they can be used to tone both the stomach and the legs, shapewear leggings are mainly used to tone the wearer’s derrière, thighs and calves. Owing to the fact that most of them shrink if put in the washer, they are hand washed very carefully to maintain the shape of the item. Most leggings are 80% cotton, making the fabric very breathable and suitable for summers. There are different kinds of leggings- structured, which are pant like leggings for formal situations and are tight; seamless, which are built to stretch and be used by models and in casual situations; active, which are body hugging and enhance curves for athletes while avoiding ‘camel toes’; and those for everyday wear, which are versatile and extra body shaping.
Another variation of this is shapewear shorts. These are used mainly for parties as they lift the wearer’s derrière and is designed in a way that minimizes contact with skin to avoid making the area sweaty.
Leggings come in many different variants, including leather, ponte de roma, cotton twill, capri and cotton spandex. Ultimately, which one to buy boils down to the customer’s goals and preferences, as all variants have their own pros and cons.
