I recall being led through the racks of lingerie in M&S by my Mum back in the day, to get measured for my first bra.
Over the years, I stayed with M&S right throughout, including the sexy Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s vintage-inspired floral lingerie – then revolutionary for celebrating a range of body shapes and sizes, with cup sizes up to a G and pants to a size 20. And I followed-on with their flesh coloured shapewear to make me look THINNER as my body changed with age.
For many of us, M&S has remained that reliable favourite.
And now, M&S has launched its Body Sculpt Hip Boost All-In-One bodysuit, costing £28, adding inches in all the right places – if you don’t have them already. I’m feeling some KARDASHIAN vibes here. It’s now time to start wearing padded underwear to fill out your curves and basically look bigger and more shapely.
Just as you might stick chicken fillets under your boobs, this bodysuit features pockets on the sides of the hips, where you can place pads, designed to give the illusion of an hourglass figure.
It all but confirms that the most desirable body-type of this age is the signature Kardashian look, with large hips, a tiny waist, and a big bum.
M&S offers far cheaper Skims-inspired shapewear, after Kim’s £2.93 billion brand began selling hip-padded lingerie last year for £100 more.
M&S already offers padded bottom shorts for £15, accentuating the same in-vogue body type, and even launched stick-on nipples for £7 in the wake of Kim’s £72 Nipple Bra. I must admit – I did buy the KK version because I thought I needed help filling out that area. Although I must point out, I went for the normal nipple bra and NOT the pierced nipple bra.
