Find Your Perfect Fit with Commando’s Seasonless Staples And Shapewear
Combining innovative design and technical fabrics to create versatile pieces that lay flat against your skin for an ‘invisible effect’, COMMANDO is the go-to brand for seasonless staples that you can build your wardrobe around
What is the secret to getting dressed stress-free? Whether you’re an eclectic maximalist or a refined minimalist, the answer likely lies in getting the basics right; investing in easy-to-wear staples that deliver comfort and precision, superlative fit and fabrics. Find those and the rest is easy.
One brand consistently producing these closet must-haves is Commando – a US-based brand renowned for its shapewear and seasonless staples. Combining innovative design and technical fabrics with a meticulous, uncompromising focus on fit, Commando’s wardrobe go-tos are anything but basic. If it’s not comfortable, it doesn’t make the cut; designed to move seamlessly with the body, each piece is created to ‘feel better than nothing’. In short, you wear Commando; Commando doesn’t wear you.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the label is a female-founded business. CEO and designer Kerry O’Brien channels her own first-hand knowledge and experience into every piece, from stretch-jersey bodysuits to faux-leather leggings. Proudly defying industry norms, each Commando design must pass the ‘Kerry test’, which sees O’Brien personally test-drive every garment – and, if she doesn’t love it, it doesn’t go into production. Furthermore, rather than fitting a style on a model, then grading the pattern up or down, Commando garments are tested out on real bodies of all shapes and sizes. This process helps to optimize the look and feel of every design – so getting dressed becomes a breeze.
“Utilizing the same obsessive attention to detail displayed in its underwear lines, Commando’s ready-to-wear range takes the label’s signature precision and applies it to face-the-world wardrobe heroes

Indeed, while the design intention is for wearers to forget they have on anything at all, Commando’s pieces have also rapidly become quiet scene stealers. Alongside fail-safe underwear innovations, including the ‘stretch-Micro Modal’ briefs (raw-cut edges mean no VPL), seamless bras with optional padding, and clever hosiery with fusion technology to prevent snags and tears, there’s an equally impressive array of clothing, too. Utilizing the same obsessive attention to detail displayed in its underwear lines, Commando’s ready-to-wear range takes the label’s signature precision and applies it to face-the-world wardrobe heroes. Ever worn something so comfortable that you wish you never had to take it off? Well, now’s your chance.
Note, for instance, the brand’s cult-favorite leggings and flared pants, which are crafted from luxurious, soft-stretch faux-leather and feature smoothing, high-rise waists. Now available in rich, neutral tones, including chocolate brown and khaki green, these pieces possess 24/7 appeal and look as good with a slouchy sweater and sneakers as they do with pointed pumps and sharp tailoring. Form-fitting bodysuits are another indispensable item in the Commando woman’s wardrobe – be it a stretchy faux-leather spaghetti-strap style, a super-soft jersey turtleneck, or a fashion-forward one-shoulder take, you won’t look back. They’re so comfortable you could easily throw one on with sweatpants for lazy weekends, or add a sleek skirt for after-dark drinks. Indeed, the same does-it-all approach is writ large across the collection, from faux-leather pants and patent leggings to tube tops and sequin skirts. Once you go Commando, you’ll wonder how you ever did without.
