That fashion follows the evolution of society is nothing new to anyone. Much more than clothing and trends, it has to do with different social movements, discussions, and even global issues, such as global warming, for example, or other matters that go beyond the environment but affect society as a whole. In addition, it is also cyclical! What was trending 10 or 20 years ago will eventually come back into the spotlight, in a more current and refreshed way. A great example of this is shapewear.
From its origin in Ancient Greece, through corsets and stays that symbolized society’s pressure on women, to the concept we have today, the piece has evolved alongside society, acquiring not only new shapes but also new purposes. It is even funny to think that, not long ago, shapewear was seen as a piece strictly made for special occasions that required more formality. An example would be red carpets, where celebrities appeared stunning and confident in their evening gowns, thanks to the effects of the piece hidden beneath the layers of the outfit.
In recent years, the use of women’s shapewear bodysuits has become part of a daily routine due to its versatility, being used not only at special events but also in everyday moments, whether going to the market, taking the children to school, hanging out with friends at the mall, and, why not? even working! The truth is that it has never been so fashionable to wear shapewear as it is now!

- Shapellx differentials
1 – Sustainability
More and more consumers are concerned about excessive consumerism, prioritizing brands that promote sustainability. All the products we sell are created to last for years, so that you do not need to replace them anytime soon. In addition, the fabrics chosen for their production do not harm the environment (not to mention that they are extremely comfortable). An example of our commitment to sustainability is the OceanHug collection, where each piece is made with around 33 oyster shells, creating a new purpose for something that is discarded every day by the ocean itself, in addition to reducing CO2 emissions by 20%. Isn’t it incredible?
2 – Versatility
As I mentioned a few paragraphs above, there is no longer a specific time or day to wear shapewear. Today, the piece is known precisely for its versatility, with even shaping activewear designed specifically for sports and physical exercise, and swimwear that combines the best of shapewear and beachwear. The difference lies in how the models are made, the choice of fabrics, types of closures… shapewear designed for use in water, for example, is different from shapewear you would wear to work all day, from the type of fabric to the closures and adjustments. On the website, you can filter the different models and obtain complete information about where to wear each one.
3 – Comfort
Being comfortable is fashionable! If you still have that old and outdated idea that shapewear is uncomfortable, tight, leaves marks, or restricts circulation, it is because you have not yet experienced Shapellx pieces! Breathable and stretchable fabrics, models that do not roll up on the body or compress excessively, adjustable closures, and different levels of compression are just some of the features offered, fitting into any routine and event! Not to mention body support and the enhancement of natural curves. You can even choose pieces with different compression levels, especially based on whether you are using shapewear for the first time or if you are already accustomed to it. In our bestsellers section, you can check which pieces have been the most popular and find many other inspirations to build your own cart.
Trends come and go, but shapewear remains! Since Ancient Greece, the piece has become part of women’s wardrobes and routines, and today, thanks to the evolution of society’s mindset and consequently fashion, it is a true synonym for comfort and style! Here, we are sure that you will find a shapewear piece to call your own, helping you highlight your beauty and bring much more confidence.
