We Tested Aritzia’s New Shapewear, and These Are Our Honest Thoughts

Aritzia has entered the shapewear chat, and we’re perking up and paying attention (quite literally). While the line, retailing from $28-$68 and aptly titled ShapeEnhance, has been introduced with just five pieces available in five neutral colorways, it’s off to a strong start. The fabric that comprises the collection is designed to support and enhance your natural curves with tubular-knit technology, though I personally feel like the compression is strong enough to help me correct my posture. So yeah, it’s that tight, but not in a bad way.

When four PS editors unboxed the ShapeEnhance Short, ShapeEnhance Thong Bodysuit, and ShapeEnhance Mid-Thigh Bodysuit, respectively, we all felt skeptical about our choice in sizing. Straight out of the package, the shapewear looks like it arrived 25 years too late for my American Girl Doll. But shimmying into these nylons is worth it if you like to feel super-snatched, and if you prefer a bit more room, you should simply size up.

Each piece is finished with meticulously-targeted shaping, giving your butt and chest an undeniable lift. What’s more, the minimal seam lines mean there’s no visible trace of the underwear, even under a sheer skirt or body-conscious knit maxi dress – just scroll for the proof.

While we hope Aritzia introduces more silhouettes and shades soon, we were highly-impressed with the luxe fabric. Read our full reviews and ratings ahead.
