Currently, there is a new wave in menswear towards “fitwear” (i.e. shapewear for men).

Leading online retailer, Bare Necessities, has these new, innovative pieces flying off the shelves!  Designed to give men a more slender midsection by slimming love handles and sculpting torsos, shaping tees by RIPT Fusion and Equmen are the ideal item for guys who want midesection control.  And it isn’t just the midsections having all the fun!  Underwear by 2(x)ist and Calvin Klein also provide support.

RIPT Fusion tees come in both crew neck and v-neck styles.  Giving firm control from the chest to hips, this moisture wicking tee will keep you cool and dry.  The elongated design eliminates roll up so you can focus on fun and not fixing your t-shirt!   Retailing at $58 each, RIPT Fusion tees are a great investment.

Equmen Firm Control Shaping tees are available in V-Neck, Tank Top, and Long Sleeve.   Developed by physical therapists, these tees are designed to support core muscles and improve posture while slimming and streamling as well as controlling body temperature.  The seamless, stretch nylon blend is also tagless for comfort.  Equmen tees retail between $89 and $109.

For the gentlemen needing coverage in just the waist area, 2(x)ist’s Form Contour Pouch Brief with Shaping Waistband is a great option.  This stretch cotton brief provides moderate control as it instantly slims and smooths the waist.  The brief also features a fly front and contour pouch.  At $18, it’s a steal!

Calvin Klein is showing support through it’s Body Boost Rear Boosting Trunk.  With hidden support to give a boost, this trunk-style boxer brief comfortably hugs your body.  The $22 undergarment also features a 2 ply contour pouch.  Calvin Klein also provides a Body Boost Hip Brief and Body Boost Trunk option.
Happy shopping, gentlemen!  Bare Necessities will take care of you.  Here’s to looking slim and trim during the holiday season.

The collection is small (a contour bra, hipster, and chemise) but gorgeous. The graphic blossom print is accented by touches of black and it looks like it would be perfect for any season – the colors suggest the fall, but the flowers bring warm summer days to mind!

In this past year, hosiery has exhibited this trend.  According to sources cited in the Wall Street Journal, U.S. women’s hosiery sales have risen 2.3% over the past year.  Dan Sackrowitz, vice president of business development for one of TLP’s favorite online retailers, Bare Necessities, says that customers have been purchasing opaque or patterned tights as a way to update their current wardrobes.  He further remarks to the WSJ that sales of hosiery increased 60% in September and 70% in October.  Wow!  (See here for the full article.)

This is a perfect way to be positive! :D

Our apologies!)]
freshpair_logo.gifThe lingerie industry is one arena that has remained “a woman’s world” through the decades. Women have simply gotten to have a lot more fun with their underwear choices than men have. But all of that seems to finally be righting itself as men’s fashion underwear sales are skyrocketing and men are starting to keep rank with women in the wide world of underwear.

In the last year alone, we’ve added several brands (Andrew Christian, Frank Dandy, and Steven to name a few) to our repertoire at Freshpair.com that solely cater to men and offer almost nothing in the way of basics, favoring bold colors, innovative styles and flashy prints instead. Those brands were added to meet the demand of our customers who already loved such hip, fun brands as Ginch Gonch, DT Underwear and Diesel. Even some of our trusty favorites like 2xist, C-IN2 and Calvin Klein have added major fashion collections to their lines in the past two years. It’s clear this men’s fashion underwear craze is here to stay!

This Valentine’s Day, it’s both a man’s world and a woman’s world. Thanks to the influx of fashion styles in the men’s intimate apparel market, there are now tons of selections for both sexes in reds, pinks, hearts and alluring styles. Cupid’s specials for men include red hot styles like these trunks, briefs, and thongs in every shade of red you can imagine, silk underwear and a whole array of thongs that are sure to turn heads.

We’re not leaving the ladies out in the cold this year, either. Our Valentine’s Boutiques feature special lace, embroidery and mesh designs in sizzling reds and sexy matching sets to keep men on their toes.

In the race for the most stylish, stunning and sexy underwear, women are still winning. It’s still a woman’s world out there. But watch out, women, men aren’t too far behind you anymore!

I don’t know whether or not this is a new website, but I do think it’s great to see brands develop such long-term relationships with their models….

Very much worth checking out, click the image to visit!
