Got love handles? Congratulations!
You might not be their biggest fan, but love handles are a natural part of a woman’s body. They give you beautiful, feminine curves, especially with a little help to shape them. Embrace your curves!
Love handles are the soft rolls that sit just above your waistband. This is often one of the first places where your body stores fat. They are particularly common in pear-shaped figures, but appear on the sides of other body shapes too.
There are several types of shapewear that help smooth your love handles and enhance your natural curves. In this blog, we’ll guide you through some lovely options.
Shaping briefs
One of the easiest ways to smooth love handles is with shaping briefs. Choose a pair that sits high on your waist and make sure it isn’t too small. Otherwise, it can make those little rolls more noticeable.
The Leonisa Lace Stripe Undetectable Slip is a nice basic panty that will help you keep your lovehandles well under control.
Shapewear bodysuit
A shaping bodysuit is another great option for smoothing those little rolls above your waistband. It extends all the way up to your bra line, creating a smooth silhouette without a waistband cutting into your middle. The result? A beautifully shaped outline.
High-waisted shaping briefs
High-waisted shaping briefs offer a similar effect to a shapewear body briefer. Some women swear by bodysuits, while others love briefs that reach right up to their bra line. High-waisted briefs offer the shaping benefits of a bodysuit without having to deal with crotch fastenings when you go to the toilet.
A great example is the Perfect Curves high-waisted briefs by Janira. They sit just below your bra line, provide firm shaping for your tummy and waist, and have leg openings that won’t show through your trousers.
You’ll find more helpful information in our blog on wearing high-waisted shaping briefs under your trousers.
Shaping tops
Not a fan of bodysuits or high-waisted briefs? A shaping top could be just what you’re looking for.
A shaping top smooths your upper body and can also be worn visibly under a blazer or cardigan. You can choose from different shaping levels, with wide straps for a tank style or adjustable spaghetti straps for a cami. There are also open-bust styles that sit just below your bra, shaping your waist and back without changing the shape of your bust.

Shaping slip dress
Smooth your love handles in style with a shaping slip dress. If you love wearing dresses, this is an ideal option for creating a smooth silhouette underneath.
Love handles? You’ve got them handled! ;-)
