The finishing touch for your Spring Races Look

It's the secret addition to any winning look
Hat? Check. Dress? Check? Clutch? Check.

Chances are that when you’re planning your Spring Races outfit, your headwear and dress are probably at the top of your shopping list.

But there’s another piece to consider – and it’s one that could make all the difference to your Races look: shapewear.

Yes, if your dress is cinched-in, form-fitting, strapless or figure-hugging then strategic shapewear could be the perfect finishing touch to your look.

And if the very word ‘shapewear’ conjures up visions of nanna knickers and Bridget Jones-style underwear, then the good news is the shapewear has had a seriously sexy makeover. 

Inspired by Art Deco designs, Nancy Ganz’ ‘Sheer Decadence’ collection mixes function and fashion. It’s also the perfect way to create a streamlined silhouette this racing season. 

“The races calls for a fun, attention-grabbing dress, but it’s important to feel confident and comfortable all day long”, says StyledBy marie claire content editor Brittany Henderson. “The fact that this line combines the aesthetics of lingerie and the support of shapewear is a bonus!”

We’ve chosen three on-trend spring racing dresses – and the shapewear to wear underneath them.
