Spanish term

aporten sujeción

Spanish to English Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
How do you say "aporten sujeción" in this context please?

"Estos leggings son perfectos para todo tipo de clientas, tanto para aquellas que buscan patrones
actuales como las que solamente quieran prendas cómodas y que les aporten sujeción"

I have translated this whole text as follows, but I am not sure if it is correct for marketing.....

"These leggings are perfect for all kinds of customers, both for those who are seeking current
design patterns and for those only seeking comfortable tight fitting garments."

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

@philgoddard I agree 100% with you Phil but my Spanish client will not accept such a translation. THAT is the problem we have when working with Spanish clients who want to see a text that reads much the same as the original text, but with marketing expressions :-0((
philgoddard Feb 20, 2018:
I think you should move away from the Spanish a bit, make it much less wordy, and avoid the repetition of "seeking". You could simply say "these leggings combine stylish modern designs with comfort and support." After all, most people who buy them will want both, rather than one or the other.
Eileen Brophy (asker) Feb 20, 2018:
@Helena Chavarria So, I could use "they are only seeking shapewear?"
Helena Chavarria Feb 20, 2018:
I think it means support/compression leggings, or shapewear.

form-fitting

Although it may initially seem duplicitous, rather than mention that the garments provide support, a marketing text might opt for something more euphemistic like this, which avoids any overt mention of flab/floppiness/droop requiring support, which might put off potential customers.

Thanks, Rachel!. It's all about squashing in and pushing up these days. And in your reference the leggings are also breathable.
