Aritzia ShapeEnhance Short in Toasty ($30)
"As someone who generally only wears shapewear underneath cocktail and evening dresses for parties and events, I was excited to try the ShapeEnhance line under a casual daytime outfit. After all, the more I wash this white peasant skirt, the more sheer it seems to get, so my goal was to find a match for my skin tone that would be both invisible and supportive via the promised compression.
It's no joke that when you hold this shapewear up in front of you, it looks too small to fit an arm, never mind a leg. But boy does it stretch. After finally squeezing my way into the shorts, I felt the compression start to work, with the sculpting butt pockets lifting in that region and the smoothing bodice providing, dare I say it, back support. Seriously — they should mention that these pieces assist with your posture!
The only caveat? There's a very high rise, with the material reaching all the way up to your bustline, so these shorts won't work with cropped tees, low-waisted garments, or anything open enough to reveal your back or midriff. This does mean that the shorts likely only work with a section of your closet, but they do get the job done." — Sarah Wasilak, associate director of content, Shopping
