How to wear shapewear under jeans and trousers

Sculpt Faja

Jeans and trousers are less forgiving than dresses because the fabric sits close to your waist and thighs. A few choices make shapewear nearly invisible underneath.

1. Choose the right cut

Outfit Cut
High-rise jeans High-waist seamless briefs
Tailored trousers Bodysuit with shorts-length legs
Leggings or fitted pants Seamless bodysuit

2. Pick a color that disappears

Choose black for dark denim and trousers, and a tone close to your skin for light fabrics. See how to choose a color.

3. Get the size right

A garment that is too small makes ridges at the thighs and waist; one that is too large rolls. Use the size guide.

4. Mind the waistband

A bodysuit removes the problem of a waistband sitting under your trouser waist. The Sculpt Bodysuit and V-Neck Bodysuit both have a shorts-length cut that stays in place.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear a faja under jeans?

Yes. A faja under tailored or stretchy jeans works well; choose a size that lets you sit comfortably.

Why does shapewear roll down under trousers?

It is usually the wrong size or a waistband that is too low. Try a bodysuit or the next size.
