The market is also influenced by a variety of cultural factors. When it comes to the body, the concept of perfection is being replaced with the concept of self-love and comfort in one's own shape and size. The market has been influenced by this body-positivity philosophy.

As activewear improves, there's a case to be made for trying out shapewear with sweat-wicking properties and the ability to support your body during activity. Stella McCartney tapped into this sector with the Stellawear sustainable capsule line, which launched at the end of 2020. Body-sculpting swimwear that can also be worn as lingerie, yoga wear, or daywear, rather than only shapewear the collection has work, home, exercise, and social activities have all blurred together for today's consumer, therefore multifunctional items produce a seamless silhouette regardless of body shape.
