True Religion has recently ventured into the shapewear market with the launch of its 'True Beauty Perfector' collection. This new line, which debuted on May 30, 2024, marks the brand's first foray into shapewear, featuring pieces designed to enhance the silhouette. The collection includes the Jenny Curvy style jeans, available in three washes and fits, each incorporating an innovative curved back yoke that lifts and shapes the body.

"Our True Beauty Perfector collection, which was a year in the making, lifts, shapes, and enhances to deliver a flawless look," Blake stated. This move aligns with the brand's broader strategy to expand its women's category, aiming to equalize it with the men's segment by 2026. Notably, True Religion's women's business has already seen a 20 percent growth over the past year.
