You already know that undergarments are the foundation to any wardrobe, but sometimes you need more than just a foundation. Today's shapewear has come a long way from the girdles and corsets of yesteryear. Modern undergarments are not just about moderate control; they're also about superior fit and comfort. The right shaping garments will make you look and feel svelte -- who doesn't want that? I recently tried the LYCRA Strapless Shaper, which retails for just $64 at n-fini.com, and I was impressed with everything from the fit to the design. Here is an in-depth review.
This strapless cami looks a lot like a tube top, but it's actually meant to be worn underneath tops, blouses, sweaters, tees, and dresses. It was made with a deluxe micro-fiber blend of nylon and spandex for the perfect fit. It features a built-in shaper bra with underwire to give you all the support you'd expect from your everyday bra. It also features a back diamond control panel and front tummy control panel to help you achieve a slender look. And unlike most shaping camisoles, the LYCRA Strapless Shaper features a smooth texture top band and anti-curl hem both of which were lined with serpentine gel to prevent curling and discomfort.
Part of the Classic Collection, this shaping cami was designed to smooth down all your imperfections and giving you a super sleek figure no matter what you choose to wear! I'd recommend buying a few of these shaping camis because you'll wear them frequently! Use them as the foundation to form-fitting dresses, high-waisted pencil skirts, low-cut tops and tanks, pantsuits, rompers/jumpers, and more. This versatile shaper can be worn with so many different items in your closet and I'd definitely recommend getting this essential piece of shapewear.
If you're looking for a simple shaping camisole that offers control with a sleek fit, then you'll love the LYCRA Strapless Shaper! It is available in two color choices, Black or Nude, in sizes S/M to 3X/4X. Transform your shape and buy this shaping camisole today at n-fini!

A playful floral skirt like this will easily transition from summer to fall with the right pieces.

Glamour meets bohemian with the pretty patchwork designs on this faux snakeskin tote bag. Available in medium brown or black, this large bag adds a special touch to summertime's maxi dress and fall's basic sheath.
SO Stretch Twill Pants $12 Off at Kohl's
Twill pants are classic. They go with lace camisoles, basic oxford blouses, trendy sweaters. And like the perfect pair of jeans, you need to invest in several pairs that fit you well. These pants feature a slightly stretchy design for comfort and flared legs for trendy appeal.
Petite Cap Sleeve Dress 55% Off at Lands' End
A little black sheath dress works for almost every occasion from lunch dates to cocktail parties to the office. Keep it simple now with a pair of strappy sandals and a light jacket; when fall rolls around, pair this dress with a pair of booties and a fitted leather jacket.
J. Renee Madison Pumps 50% Off at Shoes.com
If you're going to wear pumps everyday, make sure you buy a few pairs that feature a closed round toe and medium inch heel. Give your feet a break and slip into a pair of comfortable basic shoes like the Madison, which feature a smooth leather upper, tapered round toe, and 2 3/4" heel.
