When Lizzo launched her shapewear line Yitty last year, we couldn’t contain our excitement. Finally, an inclusive brand that understands our bodies.
So when we learnt that the Grammy award-winning singer was launching a new gender-affirming range of shapewear, we wanted to bow down to our self-love queen.
The new range, called YOUR SKIN by YITTY, was announced on Yitty’s Instagram page on Thursday, stating that it would be launching in late summer.

“When we say we support every body, we mean it. We believe in radical self-love for people of all gender identities - including the trans, non-binary, gender-fluid and gender non-conforming communities that have been chronically underserved. So, we decided to take our expertise and create styles that serve those very same communities,” the caption read.
“YOUR SKIN by YITTY has been a true passion project. Constructed out of our famous Headliner fabric, our new Binder Top and Tucking Thong have been two years in the making—perfected over time through extensive wear testing, community feedback and attention to every meticulous detail. It is our mission to continue serving all bodies, which is why these core styles will always be available at YITTY, starting late summer 2023. And this is just the beginning. We hope you can feel the love in every stitch.”

Lizzo also announced the news on her own personal Instagram, writing: “Gender affirming shapewear for people of all gender identities. You deserve to feel like you. You deserve to feel good in Your Skin.
“We’ve been working on this for a long time and I’m so excited it’s finally here! Binder tops & tucking thongs coming this summer feel the love in every stitch….”
In a separate Instagram post, the 34-year-old said that she has watched “countless videos of people crafting their own garments to wrap or tuck their bodies so their body can truly feel like theirs” and that she decided she wanted to help after hearing “people talk about their preference of wanting to be fluid in how they want to present their bodies depending on their mood or style of clothing”.
“I called my team at Yitty and they immediately jumped to action,” she added. “It took two years of extensive wear testing, community feedback, and attention to detail. I’m excited to say we have a great product that promises to grow and expand with your needs.
“I’ve already read positive comments about how we can offer more to the non-binary, trans, gender-fluid community. I wanna hear more! Your feedback is not only valuable but a necessity to us. Because we do this for You. Every Damn Body. Xoxo Lizzo.”
The line is set to be released later this year, and more information about the products and the sizing will be revealed then - but if the current Yitty line is anything to go by, sizings will start from an XS and go to a 6X. We love to see it.
