Shapewear vs. Liftwear: Understanding the Difference
When it comes to clothing designed to enhance your figure, terms like “shapewear” and “liftwear” are often used interchangeably. However, at Perks Liftwear, we believe there’s a significant difference between the two. Here’s why we choose to call our products “liftwear” and how it stands apart from traditional shapewear.
Shapewear: The Traditional Approach
Shapewear has been around for decades, offering solutions to smooth out lumps and bumps, creating a more streamlined silhouette. Typically, shapewear focuses on compression, aiming to make the body appear slimmer and more contoured. While this can be effective for certain occasions, the downside is that shapewear can often feel restrictive and uncomfortable. The primary goal of shapewear is to “hide” and “shrink” parts of the body, which can sometimes contribute to negative body image perceptions.
Liftwear: A New Perspective
At Perks Liftwear, our focus is on hugging your body and enhancing your natural curves, offering lifting, sculpting, supporting, and enhancing without the need for intense compression. Our liftwear is designed to be:
Lifting: Perks products are designed to gently hug your body to enhance your natural contours. Instead of squeezing and hiding, it highlights your natural beauty.
Sculpting: Our liftwear products are tailored to lift and sculpt, giving your body a more defined and toned appearance while maintaining comfort. This includes our seamless knit set, which provides support in all the right areas, lifting and sculpting your best assets while remaining comfortable all day long.
Supporting: Comfort and support are paramount. Liftwear offers the support you need throughout the day without the discomfort associated with traditional shapewear. Our Everyday Bodysuit provides seamless support, cinching at the waist and lifting at the bust.
Enhancing: The goal is to enhance what you already have, boosting your confidence and making you feel great in your skin. The Perks bum lift short fits like a glove, providing seamless support without compromising on aesthetics, shaping your body with the added perk of lifting your best asset!
Why We Choose Liftwear
