7 Editors on the Best Shapewear for Low Necklines, Open Backs, and Tight Tops
With the festive season in full swing, you’ve probably got a few chic cocktail dresses, sparkly tops, and striking jumpsuits at the ready for all your upcoming holiday events. We'd even guess that the majority of your party-ready pieces will likely demand a little extra support (read: adhesive bras for low backs, seamless bodysuits for sheer dresses, and deep-dipping front support for plunging necklines). If you’re seeking some shapewear solutions for your cocktail attire this season, then this one’s for you. Today, our fashion editors (who tend to rack up a lot of fashion and holiday invites) are sharing the shapewear pieces they swear by—from sculpting shorts to strapless bras and seamless bodysuits. Scroll below as they reveal their go-to undergarments for every style.
"I've owned this strapless Spanx bodysuit for years, and it still holds up as one of my best shapewear investments. I always rely on it to wear underneath tight dresses and pieces with short hemlines.""I got the Skims Sculpting Shorts for this story, and I still stand by my positive review. I had been a newbie to the shapewear world, and I was sold on these shorts because they help me feel more confident about my hips and stomach in a formfitting dress. I don't feel inclined to wear shapewear every day, but for special occasions, it's a nice morale boost.""This is a great plunge bra for low-cut tops. It's super comfortable and easy to wear, and you pretty much can't go wrong with classic black lace."Despite the hefty price tag, I’m here to shout from the rooftops that this is seriously the best $148 I’ve ever spent. This caters to so many types of clothing—from deep-Vs to low backs and sheer dresses. I’ve worn this countless times under all those Reformation and Réalisation Par dresses that often call for an extra layer of support. It’s sleek, smooth, and seamless, and I love that the shorts tighten one of the body areas I’m personally a little more self-conscious about—my thighs. I’ll be wearing this one with all my cocktail dresses and holiday tops all season.I recently attended a gala where I was in desperate need of bust support for my dress with a sweetheart neckline. These stick-on molded foam cups were my savior. They are super lightweight (I almost forgot I had them on), and they provided me with seamless support and just the right amount of lift under my dress. Moreover, in the past, I’ve had to fidget and adjust adhesive bras throughout the night, but I had zero issues with this one."I've had this shapewear slip for years. It always comes in handy when I need a seamless slip under a more sheer dress. It also stays in place once you put it on—no riding up with this shapewear!""Shapewear is a category that has historically excluded POC, and Nubian Skin is a brand working to correct that. I always recommend it to our readers since it's high-quality and has a wider range of shades than most brands." "I swear by Lively's strapless bra to wear with spaghetti straps or strapless tops. It stays up all night (read: no awkward adjusting) and looks super natural underneath clothing. Personally, I'm not a fan of fully padded bras of any kind, so I like this one just has the underwire and of course the prettiest lace material.""I first learned about these years ago when working as an intern in Who What Wear's fashion closet, and to this day I've never found a better alternative for going bra-less. A lot of stickers like this create bumps and creases that show through your top or dress, but these create a really smooth look.""I love this Spanx bodysuit because it doubles as both lingerie and shapewear. It gives me the seamlessness I want with the fun of knowing I have nice lingerie on underneath it all."
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
