Review and Giveaway: Jockey Preferred by Rachel Zoe Collection
BlogHer recently contacted me and asked if I would like to try out and review a curated line of shapewear and intimates from Jockey that celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe calls “Major Must Haves.” I didn’t have to think twice about saying yes. I respect Rachel Zoe’s business decisions and partnerships, Jockey is known for quality yet budget-friendly intimates, and I believe quality shapewear can transform a woman’s figure and how her wardrobe works with her body.
Each carefully selected piece from this collection features Jockey’s trusted expertise in creating comfy yet stylish solution-based lingerie combined with Rachel Zoe’s well-known style and sophistication. This new collection from Jockey is supposed to mirror Rachel Zoe’s fashion aesthetic and is made to make the most of your curves and what is in your closet. I received the High Back Scoop Neck Tank, the Slip Shaper, the Tummy Short, the Modern Modal Thong and Bikini, and the Modern Nylon with Lace Boyshort.
When the box arrived I was immediately impressed. The fabric was high quality and rivaled shapewear I own from pricier department store brands. The shapewear has a patented 3-panel design to help slim the figure while staying comfortable. While the thong and bikini were pretty traditional Jockey, the boyshorts were adorable – a silky candy-pink body with berry lace trim. I was impressed by the modern silhouettes and pretty yet comfortable textiles.
The first day, I tried the Tummy Short, which I received in size Large and in a tan color. I should have sized down; it was so loose there wasn’t any control taking place. However, the legs kept rolling up on me. The fabric felt nice, my dress didn’t cling to it, and I didn’t have panty lines, but I wonder even with a smaller size if the construction would have truly slimmed my tummy.
The next day, I tried the High Back Scoop Neck Tank in black. This piece is supposed to control the midriff and get rid of back bulges. It has straps wide enough to cover a bra. This piece fit really well, was comfortable, and didn’t roll up like many control tanks I have tried before. However, I didn’t find it controlled my midriff, and the half-shiny/half-matte construction made me wonder what exactly I could wear it for (maybe as a camisole under a wrap dress?).
What I did like was the Slip Shaper, which I also received in black. I have always shied away from such shapewear, not finding it appropriate for my body or personal style. However, I found the Slip Shaper to be great under a pencil skirt because it didn’t ride up, didn’t add bulk, and smoothed the whole torso without causing a muffin top at the waistband. The silicone gripper at the hem actually worked to keep the slip from riding up. However, again, this wasn’t firm control and mainly smoothed my figure rather than changed my shape or minimized my curves.
This collection from Jockey is well made, good looking, and a great price, but it isn’t hardcore shapewear. I would recommend this collection for the woman who is just looking for light control – smoothing of lumps and bumps instead of sucking and streamlining. I found the collection to wash well and maintain its shape, and other than the Tummy Short, everything stayed in place without sagging or rolling throughout the workday.
