I’m always looking for simple pieces to layer. And it’s even better when your fashion is functional! Enter shapewear. It’s not just for solving problems underneath your clothing. You can easily wear shapewear as outerwear. This weekend, I paired Maidenform’s Flexee Fat Free Dressing Tank with shorts and a moto jacket for a night out. It smooths your midsection (perfect for a dinner date!) and is made with moisture-wicking fabric, which is great for summer heat. This Wednesday from 1-2pm EST, I’m teaming up with Maidenform to host a Twitter chat. I’ll be answering all your summer style questions, from shapewear to shorts to weddings! Just tweet me at @sydnesummer using the hashtag #AskSydne. Can’t wait to chat!
