Abstract
A garment with selective compression may include multiple regions associated with different parts of a user's body, such as the arms, chest, midsection, buttocks, and legs. Each region of the garment may have a different level of compression. Higher levels of compression may provide support and alter the shape of the associated body part, while lower levels of compression may provide a smooth appearance without altering shape. By having selective compression levels for each region, the garment can smooth or shape different parts of the user's body in order to achieve a user's desired appearance, in addition to selectively providing different levels of support and increasing overall comfort and functionality.
