The Kardashian Way to a Tiny Waist

One of the biggest fashion and workout trends of the past five years has been waist training, thanks in no small part to the iconic Kardashian sisters. Since 2014, they’ve taken turns showing off their signature hourglass curves, perfected with their “waist-snatching” waist trainers.

The rest was history. Waist trainers became hugely popular as women of every shape and size have been shaping their waists, building their confidence and intensifying their workouts. Since many of you have asked about the "Kardashians' waist training secrets" and how the Kardashians get their curves, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at their favorite styles over the years.

KIM-KARDASHIAN MET GALA CORSET

HAPPENING NOW

2019's Met Gala Kim Kardashian Corset

Kim Kardashian's absolutely stunning ensemble at the 2019's Met Gala was composed of a silicone, latex material constructed to give the illusion of water. The Keeping Up With The Kardashian's star has been very vocal about her love of Spanx, waist trainers and now she's taken it to the next level, corsetting. We absolutely love corsets as it gives users the extra control over the fit of their corset. Unlike waist trainers you can customize the fit of your corset on a daily basis, whether you're sleeping in your corset, feeling like you need less compression one day or want an extreme waist contour for an event; a corset gives you that flexibility. Kim Kardashian opened up about taking breathing lessons to prepare for the dramatic look. We suggest to take your corsetting practice day by day and listen to your body. You can achieve amazing results, while feeling comfortable in your skin and corset.
