We dress up for various reasons. Some may don their most elegant pieces but feel completely stiff for the duration that they’re wearing it because it’s uncomfortable; others may choose something a little bit more drabbed down but feel completely comfy in them. This trade-off has been an issue ever since the dawn of fashion – but there are ways to circumvent them.

Looking good and feeling good come hand in hand, so it’s no surprise that we all search for something that will flatter our figures. Products have started to proliferate in the market that specifically address this, like slimming body shapers which are latex base layer apparel that help properly contour differing shapes and sizes – they are flexible, and naturally moves along the way your body does. On top of instantly making you visibly lose weight, it also actually helps you lose weight as compression garments have been linked to restricted blood flow in muscles, forcing them to work harder.

These slimming shapers, more than their aesthetic contribution also help ease other concerns such as an aching back, because it provides a means of support – especially to those that spend the whole day in front of a computer, or being out and about. It also helps you regulate your posture, which does not only help permanently reduce your back aches, but helps you to flatter your physicality a little bit more – making you stand tall, giving off a more confident vibe that is also completely comfortable in what she’s wearing.
