These Filipino-founded favorites take shapewear seriously to flatter every fit.
Shapewear has long shed its status as a secret slimming solution slipped beneath special-occasion outfits. Today, these undergarments are worn to unearth a clever interplay of curves and silhouettes, providing support and prioritizing fabrics that flow seamlessly with a woman’s shape.
Bodysuits have also become compression clothes that can complement everyday ensembles, and some styles can comfortably stand alone. Shapewear, after all, should make styling feel more flexible, functional, and fun.
Fortunately, locally founded labels are finding fresh, flattering means to balance modernism with compression and comfort. From barely-there briefs to bodysuits built to blur the boundary between base layer and top, these brands bring sculpting and sophistication into a single item.
If you’re after both aesthetics and benefits, shapewear is the investment you should not be skipping. Practical and timeless, it truly deserves some serious space in your dressing rotation as well as your wardrobe routine.
Here are the body-hugging brands to try that’s proudly and fashionably Pinay:
SOLÁ makes sculpting more attractive yet accessible
Beauty queen and businesswoman Kylie Verzosa started SOLÁ around shapewear and body-huggers before stretching its selection into intimates and accessories.
The brand’s array spans unitards, seamless underwear, shorts, briefs, and sculpting dresses, delivering a balance between serious contouring and curve softening.
If you want to get snatched without getting stuck in something stiff, SOLÁ is the wardrobe edit you need to execute.
Pinsy puts a playful, polished spin on shapewear
Filipina-founded Pinsy puts a fashion-forward spin on shapewear with bodysuits that blend contouring compression and confident cuts.
Founder Ratchel Pinlac built the brand with a spectrum of body sizes in mind, bringing modern shaping and styling into a singular idea.
From necessities such as scoop and square necks to lace and hourglass layouts, its bodysuits give the body an instant outline, ideal for pairing with skirts or pants.
Sizzies PH sends sculpting into stylish iterations
If traditional shapewear is supposed to stay tucked, Sizzies PH is perfectly pleased to put it to the fore.
The Alex Gonzaga-fronted label plays with lush shapes and statement silhouettes, bringing in jumpsuits, bodysuits, seamless separates, and many more. Its One Piece Wonder collection turns compression into clothing, with intense-sculpting styles that can transform a complete look.
Think luxurious, styled, and sufficiently versatile to wear visuals beyond the base.
Herah serves everyday shaping with ease
Herah squeezes in intimatewear and shapewear into the daily dressing department with cotton shirt collections, seamless cycling shorts, tank tops, thong panties, and trainers.
Rather than relying completely on intense compression, its pieces pair softness with support for comfortable contouring.
Its Seamless High Waist Shapewear Panty, for one, offers a silky microfiber material to shape the waist and hips. For a whole look that leads to a cleaner canvas, Herah makes support and style surprisingly major.
PATTON spotlights bodysuits as stylish building blocks
Designer Patty Ang’s Manila-made PATTON delivers a silhouette-centered spin on the second-skin staple. Its bodysuit series hugs the body, holds its shape, and traces silhouettes, serving as a smooth starting point for styling.
Clean cuts meet sleek, second-skin material across articles of round-neck, ruched, halter, knotted, and hoodie designs. PATTON’s love language is flattering form, innovating impressions that are gold as time.
