Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a garment with compression-generating sections, which can shape a wearer's body into a favorable silhouette by smoothing sagging skin and also can keep the silhouette even when the wearer moves, while giving less tightened feeling to the wearer. The garment (100) with compression-generating sections according to the present invention includes: at least one body section (101) including a portion that is tubular when the garment is worn; and at least one compression-generating section (102). The body section (101) is stretchable so as to fit a wearer's body. The compression-generating section (102) is disposed in such a manner that, when the garment is worn, it is located above a body region where skin sagging occurs and extends in a direction along Langer's lines. The compression-generating section (102) has lower stretchability than the body section (102) at least in an insertion direction in order to increase compression provided by a portion of the garment where the compression-generating section (102) is disposed.
