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 Tankee offers the same benefits as the original Unbelievabra, however features a narrowed, cut-in back design at the shoulders, allowing women to wear this version of The Unbelievabra with sleeveless and tank tops (as opposed to only long and short sleeve tops with the original). To appeal to women wishing for an all-in-one, bra, camisole and torso slimming solution, as well as women simply wishing for a superior bra, The Tankee comes available in both torso length and cropped styles. Shapeez is excited to introduce The Tankee in not only nude but NEW white, as well as in NEW sizes Small AA and Medium AA (in addition to the usual twenty-five sizes ranging from cups A through E.)

This exciting launch comes with a string of successes for Shapeez, including being picked up by all twenty-two locations of Midwest-based, upscale specialty department chain Von Maur, as well as expansion into 100+ boutiques throughout the five territories of Canada. If that weren’t enough, Hollywood has too jumped on the Shapeez bandwagon, with orders from the likes of makeup artist Bobbi Brown as well as actresses Mary McCormack (In Plain Sight), Lesley Ann Warren (In Plain Sight, Will & Grace) and now Danielle Bisutti (True Jackson, VP)…

We’ve been following Shapeez for a long time, and we’re looking forward to see what’s coming in Shapeez’ future!

That’s great in the winter – more layers means more warmth, after all. But that’s the very problem in the summer when you only want to stay cool and dry! That’s why the Va Bien ultra-Lift Smooth Solutions 2-in-1 products are so great. Available in a cami or a slip, these garments work as both a bra and as a smoothing layer. This is perfect not only for keeping cool, but for reducing the actual number of garments you need to buy. They feature a microfiber body as well as the patented ultra-Lift cups, which each require a 15-minute multi-step molding process to gain their shaping and uplifting power (the industry standard is to mold foam cups in seconds with a single step, as we saw in the Bra Business video).

Greg Gimble, Vice President of Va Bien, says of these products,

“Traditionally, Va Bien shapewear features firm control and is designed for wear under special occasion dresses. However, with today’s form-fitting fashions and the introduction of shapewear to the general public, everyday shapewear has become something quite common. It is with this in mind that we designed the ultra-Lift Cami and Slip. You don’t have to be going to a special event to wear shapewear anymore – new lightweight undergarments can be worn everyday for a nice smooth look, and now with the ultra-Lift Cami and Slip, women can shape their bustline perfectly at the same time.”

One thing I really like about these Va Bien styles as opposed to other similar products is that these actually come in real, honest-to-goodness bra sizes. You buy the Va Bien ultra-Lift Smooth Solutions products in 34B, 36D, 38E, etc. instead of Small, Medium, and Large. You guys know how picky I am about wearing bras that fit correctly, so it would be a definite deal-breaker for me if these didn’t come in defined bra sizes.

The camisole and slip are priced at $65 and $79, respectively. You can buy the camisole from the Va Bien website right now, and the slip will be available on June 1.
