National Underwear Day: Shop shapewear under £40 for women
Today is National Underwear Day and what better way to celebrate than to enhance our beautiful bodies with flattering undergarments?
Shapewear can be a Godsend when it comes to sucking you in when wearing a pair of jeans or a figure-hugging dress. It provides comfort all while smoothing out lumps and bumps and firming your pert derriere, giving you an added confidence boost as you strut in your outfit.
Many celebrities swear by the clever undergarments to enhance their figures on the red carpet.
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian famously wears two pairs of shapewear to help her achieve an hourglass figure and tiny waist and Adele also said that she wore four pairs of Spanx underneath her 2012 Grammy Awards dress to look “drop-dead gorgeous”.

But there are many things to consider when choosing the right shapewear for you.
While it might seem like a good idea to go a size down for added firmness, it can actually make you look bigger by accentuating your lumps and bumps, which will make you feel uncomfortable.
Stay true to your size and let the garment work its magic.
Whether you opt for a pair of underwear, a bra, camisole or bodice, we’ve rounded up the best shapewear to suit all body types and shapes, so you can strut in style with confidence.
