But it's not just about tummy-sucking, butt-lifting undies--although those are awesome. There's also a new breed of high-tech body contouring clothing. Here are our new favorites.

ShaToBu High Waist Shaping Tights

Consider these tights the hosiery equivalent to Skecher's Shape Ups. By incorporating resistance bands right into the fabric, muscles supposedly work a little harder and burn more calories. Skeptical? That's OK because the immediate results are really what makes these tights worth buying. The high waist streamlines the silhouette from tummy to thighs and does an amazing job of minimizing love handles. Available at shatobu.com, $38.

Kmart Slimfabulous Bermuda Shorts

Incorporating slimming technology directly into clothes is now all the rage and these shorts don't disappoint.

We just may pair these with black opaque tights and continue to wear them all winter long. Available at kmart.com, $5.99.

Assets By Sara Blakely Remarkable Results Cami

Why wear an ordinary cami when you can sport one that'll actually flatten your tummy and slim your hips? The smartest thing about this design is that, unlike most shapewear tanks, the shaping starts just below the bra line so your breasts won't get squashed, which is neither flattering nor comfortable. Plus, the smooth fabric and thin straps make it really versatile to wear under practically anything. It's a no-brainer upgrade. Available at beauty.com, $28.
