The outfit: bodycon dress
If your invite calls for smart attire, a chic little black dress is your safest bet. Just add undone waves and high heels for instant polish.
The shapewear: firm-control slip
Create the illusion of hourglass curves under your bodycon dress with a waist-cinching slip, giving clean lines under fitted clothes without restricting movement (hello, dancefloor). Forget any notions of old-fashioned corsetry or fiddly hook-eye fastenings with a pull-on style.
The outfit: tailored trousers
Not everyone is a dress or skirt person - some of us prefer the ‘nice top and trousers’ combo every time. Contrast the textures on top and bottom to keep things interesting, and always team with fabulous shoes.
The shapewear: waist cincher
High-waisted trousers may look effortlessly chic, but they can also feel a tad restrictive. Conjure up a nipped-in effect in seconds with a waist cincher, which sculpts an hourglass silhouette while being so comfortable you’ll almost forget you’re wearing it.
