New to the Scene: Guys Shape Up Too!
It’s no news that the fellas are as body conscious as the gals, but until now the only solution has been to hit the gym. Even with all of their experience, it is tough for women to figure out the right shapewear solutions, so to give the men a jumpstart, we’re breaking down their options here. Before you head to a trainer, see if these shape training solutions can lend a hand.
Chest & Arms
Maybe women knew about shapewear from their mothers and grandmothers, but Spanx is the brand that made shapewear a modern household name. Now they’re making a name for themselves in the locker room, because these compression styles will help tone and tame everything from your tummy to your shoulders and biceps. Smart as they are they’ve disguised these double duty designs as basic undershirts. While no one will know the difference, you’ll certainly feel it.
The crew shapes both tummy and chest while providing improved posture. Both the tank and crew are made of a soft cotton blend.

Tummy
Here’s one thing both guys and girls have in common- we all want to keep our tummy under wraps! Both of these styles below serve to do just that; as you can see there is more than one solution to this common problem. Your preference will come in if you’re looking to tone more than one area, how seamless you want the smoothing to be, and what level of control you are looking to get. While these styles may not give you the six pack you’ve dreamed of, they’ll certainly give the illusion that you’ve slimmed down a few inches by sweating it out at the gym!

Sculptees Bandit Waist Smoother This banded style shaper from Sculptees is perfect for the guy who wants some support in just this area. Like with the ladies, this style will leave rolls or bumps if you need more general control throughout your midsection/hips. |
Profile & Tush
Calvin is known for sexy, and whether it’s jeans or underwear the back view is always important. This pair of Calvin Klein Butt Boosting Trunks give you a little edge in that department, bound to make your jeans fit better front and back, and turn some heads at the same time! The Andrew Christian style below also features in seam lift in the rear and a shaping pouch in the front which will enhance your profile in front & behind.
