Look Younger, Tip #16: Try Shapewear

If you still think of shapewear as girdles or simply control top pantyhose, you are missing out on one of the best tools to help your body look younger.

The newest breed of shapewear, in brands like Spanx or Jill Zarin's Skweez Couture (pictured) perform all sorts of body miracles like smoothing, holding in and lifting up.

One essential piece you should try is the camisole shaper. This lightweight piece of shapewear looks like a regular camisole but is fitted to make you smooth and lifted: a necessity under knits and Tshirts.  It makes your bra work better and smooths over things like muffin top or back fat.

Other pieces that will flatter your figure include panties to lift or longer-line bodywear shapers (like the ones Spanx made famous) that will flatten your tummy and lift your rear.)

Finally, there are even slips like Skweez Couture's slip pictured that work with your existing bra to give your breasts more lift and cleavage.
