It’s nearly time to settle on your Valentine’s Day outfit. Whether you are planning that romantic night out with the object of your affections or going to one of the plethora of events devoted to hooking you up with the man of your dreams, Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to go for a high glamour look.
On occasions like this I would normally reach straight for the shapewear to make sure my figure is looking its absolute best (especially so soon after the Christmas party season). However, confronting your Valentine’s Day date with a pair of Bridget Jones style granny pants at the end of the evening is less than seductive. The good news is that shapewear has moved on a lot since Bridget’s heyday and Spanx in particular have been developing new ranges that are good looking and discreet as well as highly effective. Slim and tone your figure but without giving the game away with the fantastically discreet shapewear options that will make you love your body! And that’s always sexy.
If you are not used to wearing shapewear or control garments then the Spanx Undietectable range is a great place to start. They offer medium level of control in a light weight cotton feel fabric which feels lovely, soft and comfy against the skin and give smoother, more streamlined shape. For date night, we’d especially recommend the Spanx Undie-tectable Adjustable Strap Bodysuit. It looks just like a normal bodysuit so no one will know that it is secretly holding in your tummy, smoothing out your love handles and giving your bottom a little lift. We love this bodysuit as a cover up under light or sheer fabrics and the bonus is that, unlike many other shapewear styles, it is embarrassment free if you do get down to your smalls!
In the last year or so, Spanx have been working to create shapewear ranges that are more and attractive. They realise that that, although traditional shapewear shorts are effective and popular, it’s even better if you feel as fine as you look – especially for Valentine’s Day. Spanx’s Slimmer and Shine Strapless Slip has good looks as well as strong shaping power. Its satin detailing around the bust and sliming contour lines are so flattering we’ve heard of girls wearing this slip as a body con dress! Of course it’s a great option under strapless dresses but it’ll also pull you into an hourglass shape and firm up your behind in those sexy pencil skirts that are so fashionable right now.
Also brand new to the site is the Spanx Lust Have High Waist Half Slip with Girl Short. If you have a great pair of legs and you love showing them off with daring hemlines, this is the shapewear solution for you. The slip has a high waist which guarantees a smooth hourglass silhouette even in body hugging dresses but it also has a shorter hemline than most other shapewear slips and shorts. It offers strong control and the built in girl short gives a little extra reassurance under the very shortest skirts. A couple of weeks ago, we blogged about Kristen Stewart flashing her shapewear on the Jay Leno Show. Kristen take note, the Spanx Lust Have High Waist Half Slip is how you wear shapewear with a short dress!
For Valentine’s Day, or indeed any date night, you need shapewear that is out of the ordinary. As always, Spanx knows exactly what women want and their new ranges of shapewear are their most appealing ever. You certainly won’t be afraid to take your new Spanx on a date.
