Get clear answers on sizing, layering, and fit for the PowerStay Short + SmartShape Capri bundle in black, so you can wear each piece with confidence.
Quick answer
Choose your usual size for each piece in the PowerStay Short + SmartShape Capri bundle. The PowerStay Short offers moderate tummy smoothing with anti-slip grip, while the SmartShape Capri provides full-leg coverage, so you can wear them together or separately depending on your outfit.
Why the bundle lets you size each piece separately
The PowerStay Short + SmartShape Capri in Black is a bundle of two bestsellers, and you can select the size for each independently. This matters because your waist and hip measurements may not match a single size across both styles. For example, if you prefer a snugger fit in the short for tummy control but a more relaxed fit in the capri for all-day comfort, you can adjust accordingly. Always consult the size chart for each product to make the best choice.
How to layer the PowerStay Short under leggings
The PowerStay Short is designed with a seamless, laser-cut leg band and anti-slip grip at the waistband, so it stays in place without rolling down. Under leggings, wear the short as your base layer to smooth the tummy area. The short’s moderate compression and soft fabric make it comfortable for extended wear. Because the leg bands are laser-cut, they won’t create visible lines under tight clothing. For extra coverage or warmth, you can wear the SmartShape Capri over the short, but note that the capri provides full-leg shaping, which may add bulk under very slim-fit leggings.
When to choose the SmartShape Capri instead of the short
The SmartShape Capri extends to the knee or lower, offering shaping for the thighs and legs. Choose the capri when you want to smooth the entire leg under dresses, skirts, or wide-leg pants. The capri is also a good option for cooler weather or when you prefer more coverage. However, if you mainly need tummy control and plan to wear very tight leggings, the PowerStay Short alone may be less bulky. The bundle gives you both options, so you can switch based on your outfit.
Fit and layering FAQ
- Should I order the same size for both pieces?
- Not necessarily. Since you can choose the size for each, start with your usual size for both, but if you prefer more compression in the short and less in the capri, adjust accordingly. Check the size chart for each style.
- Can I wear the PowerStay Short under the SmartShape Capri?
- Yes, you can layer them, but keep in mind that the capri already provides leg shaping. Wearing both may feel bulky under very tight clothing. Try the short alone under leggings and the capri alone under dresses. Test layering with your outfit to ensure comfort and a smooth silhouette.
- Will the PowerStay Short roll down under leggings?
- The short has anti-slip grip at the waistband designed to prevent roll-down. Ensure you pull it up fully and smooth it out before putting on leggings.
- Is the SmartShape Capri visible under leggings?
- The capri is designed to be seamless, but its full-leg coverage may show under extremely thin or light-colored leggings. For a no-show look, the PowerStay Short alone is a better choice under leggings.
- How do I care for the bundle?
- Follow the care instructions on each piece. Typically, hand wash cold and line dry to maintain elasticity and anti-slip grip. Avoid bleach and ironing.
