Technically advanced, shaping fabrics make the most of creora® Power Fit in creating lighter high compression fabrics that deliver a smoothing, shaping and uplifting look but are actually comfortable to wear 24/7. Fine count knits incorporating a combination of creora® spandex yarns in variable modulus fabrics give a sexier edge to lighter weight qualities. By definition these fabrics are compact and clean in this particular market, but also look to injecting decorative geometric detail from prints or through the actual structure of the fabric including decorative selvedge jacquard effects.
The level of compression varies from all-day shaping and smoothing in light to medium, with high-level compression geared for the true corsetry-inspired shapewear. Another aspect in updating the shapewear sector to a new level is through the use of brilliant synthetics in creating next generation luster. Black continues as a key seller but look to incorporating new colors in creating a new range of luminance that will attract the consumer. While compression is a key factor, so is comfort, the inclusion of high performance nylon offering moisture management and cool touch all add value to a continuing desired product.
