Dakota Johnson Makes the Case for Sheer Shapewear—Two Days in a Row
When we think of summer trends, shapewear isn't exactly at the top of our list. But this week, for two days in a row, Dakota Johnson has waged a campaign to change our minds. Yesterday, despite the summery temps, Johnson opted for an all-black, leather-heavy look. She wore a knee-length black leather Balenciaga coat over a sheer black bodysuit with a plunging V-neck and a center seam. A proponent of the bootcut revival, she added a pair of black, raw-hem jeans and black Khaite Colt wedge mules. While the coat could easily read Matrix, Johnson's slinky bodysuit, on-trend jeans, and cat-eye sunglasses helped it avoid costume territory. Dakota Johnson in New York, June 1 TheStewartofNY June 2 Aeon The day prior, amidst press for her forthcoming film Materialists, Johnson modeled a different way to rock a sheer bodysuit. Styled by Kate Young, she wore her transparent scoopneck Commando shapewear underneath a strong-shouldered Khaite jacket in a latte-colored suede, and tucked into a pair of light-wash straight-leg jeans. And, like her sheer shapewear, she also stayed loyal to her Khaite shoes. With summer just around the corner, wearing leather and suede may seem like a recipe for overheating. But by pairing heavier fabrics with sheer underpinnings, Dakota Johnson is forging a warm-weather trend without retiring her winter outerwear.

Is your underwear giving you cancer? Why the hidden toxic chemicals in our bras and knickers are a ticking health time bomb
L ooking at my underwear drawer, I yearn for a simpler time. I remember fondly my first bralettes – essentially two cotton triangles stitched together with a supportive band. Knickers were basic, too: cotton briefs in a choice of three different cuts. But undies somehow became incredibly complex. Today, bras aren't just bras, they're 'posture facilitators'; knickers are sold with promises of moisture management, breathability, temperature regulation and leak control. And I am bombarded by a hundred types of shapewear garments guaranteeing everything from supporting my back muscles to firming my thighs. In fact, the shapewear market is predicted to rise by 37 per cent between 2024 and 2028. I'm all for progress but, really, who wants to be outwitted by their 'intelligent fibre' pants?

This shaping dress looked too good to be true - so my mom and I put it to the test (spoiler: I'm buying it in every color)
As a woman in my late 20s, I'm always struggling to find a dress that's both chic, a little bit sexy, and saves me from having to suck in every time someone takes out their camera to snap my picture. I've tried countless dresses and companies, and while there are a couple staples in my wardrobe, none fit me as perfectly as the body-fitting shaping dress from Miraclesuit — yes, the viral brand known for the Miraclesuit (their shaping bathing suits). Regi Shaping Dress (Crimson Red) 15% off This gorgeous slimming dress gives you an hourglass figure and features tummy control. It's breathable, doesn't slip up, and is built for women of all ages and sizes. Right now you can snag 15 percent off your order with code MAY15. Shop It was surprising, and a little bit unbelievable at first, and so I had to have my mom try the brand as well. My lovely mother shies away from wearing anything tight-fitting as she's afraid it won't suit her frame. She was very hesitant at first, but when I told her the dress is literally made to make her feel and look confident, she decided to give it a try. A few days ago we both donned our Miraclesuit shaping dresses and wore them out and about on the town — here's what we thought. First off, this dress is surprisingly easy to put on. Shapewear is most certainly something I don't reach for often, as it's always uncomfortable, rides up, or makes me feel unbelievably warm. My mom and I both slipped on this dress with ease, even though she was very worried after taking a first look at the dress that it wouldn't fit her — spoiler alert, it fit her quite well! Miraclesuit recommends sizing down, so I bought the extra small while my mom purchased the M in the same design. Normally, I fall between an small and an medium while my mom sticks to large-sized dresses usually. The great part about the dress that we both really liked was how the built-in shapewear was comfortable and non-constricting. We could go about our walk to the winery we were visiting, spend hours sitting, use the bathroom, and never have to worry about the dress riding up. In fact, I barely adjusted my dress throughout the day. It truly is great at sculpting too. I felt confident in my dress, and could stand tall without trying to suck in. When I sat down, I had a totally flat stomach, and none of my bloating was visible post-meal. My mom felt the same, complimenting how the dress gave her an hourglass shape and lifted her chest. 'It made me feel 15 years younger. I can't remember the last time I wore a skin-tight dress,' she said. We also both loved that the dress came with a built-in bra. You might still need to wear a bra if your cup size runs high, depending on your comfort level, but I had no problem wearing the dress without a bra all day. It provided the lift and support I needed, without ever looking vulgar. That said, there is enough space to wear a bra comfortably under the dress. It was surprising, too, that it worked well for both our heights. I'm quite tall while my mom is quite petite, but the dress seemed to sit on us both equally. Since the dress is available in four colors (Crimson Red, Black, Serpiente, and Sodalite), we'll definitely want to stock up on all four colors. It's really hard to find a con with the dress. I think the only area where my mom wished there was a little more shaping was the tummy control region, primarily in the lower belly area. But apart from that, the fit really was near perfect. The good part is that even with all the shapewear built in, the dress is still washable and can also be easily spot cleaned if you have a small food stain — like I did. Just definitely make sure to size down when you buy for a snug fit. If you want something that's a little less shapewear, and a more relaxed fit, stick to your original size (though I highly recommend sizing down, as trust me, the dress never felt uncomfortable even after a full day of wear). Apart from the Regi Shaping Dress, Miraclesuit has tons of other shaping dress options, as well as their ever-popular shaping bathing suits. So if this is not the style for you, check out the brand's full selection to find your fit.
