Do I Only Look Good in Jeans Because of Shapewear? Let’s Talk About It (BLOG)

Okay, friends. Let’s clear something up once and for all.
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of comments on our ads and videos along the lines of: “You only look good in those jeans because of shapewear.”

Well… here’s the truth: I have worn the same shapewear in EVERY single video I’ve filmed for the past 6+ years. Whether I’m at home or the warehouse, I toss it on under my tops/jeans because:

  • I film in front of windows with sheer curtains.

  • My staff (male & female) probably prefer not to see me half-dressed.

  • I don't want to accidentally flash anyone on a live.

  • I’d like to take out the trash at home without worrying that my neighbors just got a free peep show.

So yes, I wear shapewear. Always have. Always will. But guess what? That’s not what’s making me look good in jeans.

 

The Shapewear I Actually Wear

I don’t keep secrets around here, so here’s the deal:

  • It’s minimal control — it smooths more than it “snatches.” Usually only wear it when I shoot or go live.

  • It’s comfortable enough to wear all day (which is the only way I’ll do shapewear).

  • We used to carry the tank top version in the boutique, but wholesale costs got too high compared to what you can get online.

👉 Here’s the exact bodysuit I wear and 👉 here’s the tank top version.

If you are looking for the white tank I have on top, 👉 it's from Target. It was laundry day and it was the only clean white thing I had to pair under that cardigan! I bought it to wear to Backstreet Boys when I found out we had to wear all white - While, I didn't wear it that night. I do go on walks wearing this! 

 

What’s Really Changed: My Weight Loss Journey

Here’s the part I think some people aren’t realizing — I’ve lost weight.

In Feb/March of 2024, I made some big changes to my diet. I am not a nutritionist, but if you are curious what I've changed, I am happy to make another blog on this. Then as of September 1st of this year, I started walking/jogging 3–5 miles, 6 days a week. And just this week? I stepped back into CrossFit for the first time in over 8 years.

So while I wish shapewear could magically take care of all that, the truth is: the jeans look good on me because I’ve been putting in the work. I'm down 40lbs - slow and gradual over the last 80 weeks, that's 1/2 lb a week.

Proof in the Photos

I’ll even be sharing photos of me from 4–5 years ago in the SAME exact tank top/bodysuits I still wear in fit videos today. Spoiler alert: the tank hasn’t changed, but my body has. Oddly, I am in the same size tank XL and 2XL and I am the SAME size Jeans/Shorts.

Why I’m Sharing This

I want to stay transparent with you. I know people are curious, and I’d rather answer the questions directly than let rumors take over. And honestly? This is also my way of shutting the haters up — in the most fun, lighthearted way possible. 😉

At the end of the day, Whiskey Skies is about feeling confident in your own skin (and jeans). Whether you wear shapewear, don’t wear it, are on a health journey, or just want to rock some Judy Blues and feel amazing — you belong here.

So nope, it’s not just the shapewear. It’s me, my work, my journey… and maybe a little bit of sheer stubbornness. 💪✨
