Trending at Amazon: $16 Slip Shorts That ‘Are a Great Option to Wear Under Dresses and Skirts’

About a month ago, I started my search for good shorts to wear under dresses this year. And now that summer has unofficially started, Amazon shoppers appear to have joined me.

Last I checked, these particular boyshorts were sitting atop Amazon’s Movers and Shakers fashion chart, which tracks real-time movement in the site’s sales activity for clothes, shoes, and accessories. In other words, lots of people are adding these $16 slip shorts — which are also Amazon’s top-selling “shapewear thigh slimmers” — to their carts right now.

If your summer outfits rely on dresses and skirts, you may want to consider doing the same.

Werena Shapewear Shorts for Under Dresses

The stretchy shorts are billed as seamless, smoothing, and moderately supportive, helping to define your shape and provide coverage under dresses, skirts, pants, and jumpsuits. According to the brand, neither the waistband nor the leg openings will roll while you’re wearing the shorts, and they’ll not only help prevent thigh chafing, they’ll even provide a bit of tummy control, too.

Dozens of detailed five-star reviews from shoppers have helped vault these spandex shorts to the top of the charts. “They are comfortable and breathable without being see through,” one customer wrote. “The price is great too; I ordered them in a few colors.”

Keep in mind that some reviewers don’t think the “tummy control” works quite as advertised. “I would say if you are using it for shapewear it doesn’t really tuck in the tummy that much,” one person said. However, they weren’t looking for compression with shorts like these: “I think they are a great option to wear under dresses and skirts to feel a little more comfortable.”

The shorts are available in black, white, and a few shades of beige in sizes up to 3XL. Choose from regular and high-rise cuts; in a couple of reviews, shoppers recommend the regular version for fellow shorties. You can buy a single pair or a two-pack, and prices vary slightly depending on which combination you buy.
