Named one of our experts' favorite shapewear styles, these top-tested shaping shorts earned high marks for their lightweight yet supportive fabric. Featuring a versatile mid-thigh design, the shorts can be worn beneath dresses, trousers, jeans and more. "I always wear these shorts to weddings because they stay hidden while smoothing any lumps," said one GH editor.

Honestly, I forgot I was wearing it, which has never been the case before," said one GH tester.
