Shapewear in the summer can be challenging – you want an undergarment that will fight both chafing and a potential wardrobe malfunction. While Skims’s popular shapewear has built a cult-favorite following for good reason, TikTokers have recently been raving about an affordable alternative: the ($15).

In a video that has racked up almost 400,000 views, fashion writer and creator Mandy Lee, who makes TikTok videos under the name @oldloserinbrooklyn, described these sculpting mesh shorts as “the perfect everyday shapewear style.” “I wear these every single day in the summer with no complaints,” she said, while trying on both Skims and Uniqlo shapewear underneath sheer dresses. She added that they’re anti-chafe and super wearable, and on her 5’1" frame, the shorts are also completely covered under miniskirts and minidresses.

Uniqlo’s AIRism line has long been known for its breathable and cooling moisture-wicking fabric, making it ideal in shapewear form for the summer. The video’s comments flooded with immediately-influenced users, as well as longtime fans of the shorts. “I LIVE in these all summer – no thigh chaffing at all and they are just as airy as if you weren’t wearing them,” one wrote, while another added, “Bought the Uniqlo shorties and wore them over the weekend – game changer!!!”
