　　What is a shapewear swimsuit, and how does it work? A shapewear swimsuit is a specialised type of swimwear designed to provide extra support and shaping to the body while youre at the beach or by the pool. It typically features compression fabrics and strategically placed panels to target specific areas like the tummy, especially in tummy-control shapewear.

　　These swimsuits work by gently compressing and smoothing out certain areas, creating a slimmer and more contoured appearance. Some also have built-in underwire or padding for additional support and shaping of the bust. Strapless shapewear is (as you can imagine) shapewear without the straps - which is an alternate option that you might prefer.

　　Where else can I buy shapewear swimwear? As well as the options on our list, there are a wide array of SKIMS dupes and Spanx dupes out there, because who doesnt love a cheaper alternative?

　　But, celebs have also jumped on the trend to bring their expertise to the subject with the real deal. For example, Kim K has released a SKIMS swimwear collection, and were slightly obsessed. This includes swimsuits, bikinis and coverups.
