shapewear

Although it's not the easiest thing to admit, many women find one breast to be slightly bigger than the other. Finally, a bra that addresses that problem: Fruit of the Loom Perfect Pair Bra ($5 per cup). The idea is to mix and match cups according to your needs. There are a variety of colors to choose from. Once you find the perfect duo, snap the right-sized cups together at the front, hook the backs, and go go go.

Cynthia Rowley has a jam-packed agenda these days. She's surfing with Roxy, making bridesmaids chic, and now she's adding underwear to her repertoire. SLIM by Cynthia Rowley launches this Fall and combines elements of shapewear and lingerie. Love the color combos and colorblock element. Somehow I predict this fashion-forward line will further energize the shapewear market!

Blame it on celebrities and their Spanx, Lady Gaga's corsets, or Mad Men—but shapewear is officially back as a wardrobe basic. Thankfully, Cynthia Rowley is designing a collection of body sculpting undergarments that don't look like your granny's girdles. Called Slim by Cynthia Rowley, the new collection of high-waisted bikinis, body-hugging slips, and minimizing bras are color-blocked in nude with turquoise or black with gray and look nothing like those other flesh-toned biker shorts. Slim by Cynthia Rowley will be in stores this summer and retail for $118 to $226.

The OverBra is the new shapewear idea that shapes your bust and accentuates your cleavage. Think of it as a vest for your bra — only it's not meant to be seen. It comes in four styles — original, midriff, longline, slip — and each does a slightly different task. The original, pictured below, is mainly to flatten back bulges and enhance cleavage. The midriff takes care of tummy creases, the longline is good for tummy and hip coverage, and the slip is perfect for under dresses. Since it's a brand-new concept, it's slightly confusing; check out the how to wear it section then see where to buy it. Intrigued or insane?
