Bermuda Shaper or Shaper Short: Which Is Right for You?
Shaper shorts and bermuda shapers look similar: both are high-waist and both shape the tummy and butt. The difference is the length, and that changes what each one does best.
The difference in one line
A shaper short ends at the top of the thigh. A bermuda reaches mid-thigh or lower, so it also smooths the thighs.
Choose a bermuda shaper if…
- You want to smooth your thighs as well as your tummy and butt.
- Your thighs rub together when you walk. The longer leg stops chafing, which makes a big difference in the Saudi heat.
- You wear an abaya, long dress or skirt, where the extra length is hidden anyway.
- You want all-day comfort for work or long occasions.
Popular choices: the Lupo Slim Bermuda, our best seller, and the Lupo Emana Bermuda.
Choose a shaper short if…
- You mainly want tummy control and a butt lift.
- You wear short or fitted dresses, where a longer leg could show.
- You wear trousers or jeans and want less fabric on the legs.
- You prefer a lighter feel in hot weather.
Popular choices: the Lupo High Waist Slim Control Short and the seamless Lupo Seamless High Waist Short.

Size tip
For both, the waist should sit above the belly button and the legs shouldn't dig in. Lupo and Liz size by weight and height, so check our size guide and choose one size up if you're between sizes.
