What does tummy control leggings do? ›

You're Wearing the Wrong Size

The obvious reason leggings will fall down is that your leggings are too big. Indeed any body-hugging item of clothing or underwear needs to be bang-on when it comes to sizing. Too big, and it will not only look all wrong, but won't hug you the way it ought to.

Your shapewear may roll up or down because it's too small and therefore too tight on your body. It can also create a lumpy look from overflow where the shapewear meets the skin. If you've chosen a piece that's too long, it may not grip as well, which also causes roll-down.

Use your normal pants size as a starting point

Leggings won't fit you as regular trousers do, and they shouldn't. However, starting with the size of your trousers is still an excellent idea. You probably won't need extra-large leggings if you typically wear small or extra-small pants.

Ribbed leggings pair well with almost anything in your closet. Throw on a t-shirt or tank top for exercising or running errands, or dress them up with a stylish blouse or tunic and booties for a night out.
