Men's Fashion Friday: Shaping Undershirts by Spanx

Hesitant about the idea of shaping undershirts? Don't be. Ask your lady how fabulous SPANX has worked for her when a non-surgical nip/tuck is needed. In exchange for "sucking-in", get a garment that is slick and snug (not to mention comfortable and sustainable) that will do all the sucking for you! It's time to turn your undershirt into a compression party!

Each style is packed with intense power promising all-over compression from your waist to your pecks and more. It's ergonomic structure will reduce fatigue and strain by providing lower back support which leads to improved posture. Not to mention, Spanx is known for their precision in production, resulting in long-lasting products. Every style is composed of ring-spun fabric*, has tapered shapes and is finished with flat-lock seams*. (*learn more below)
The Cotton Compression Crew Neck has a classic undershirt design. You can see how it's sleek in nature and won't show under your other clothing.

The Cotton Compression V-Neck offers another neckline option. V-necks are also a big trend this season.

Sometimes you just need a 'wife-beater'! The Cotton Compression Tank replaces the WB with high-quality aesthetics. This will last you a lot longer than a pack of ribbed-cotton tanks...

 
*Flat-Lock Seam: the fabrics are butted together at the seam and sewn so there is no seam allowance (additional fabric) inside the garment along the underside of the seam. Doing this requires a more technical and timely stitching process, which adds additional expense to the garment. The plus side is the quality of the stitch. The result is a strong seam that is flat and "padded" and merely impossible to pull apart.

*Ring-Spun Fabric: a fabric process which spins the roughness of raw cotton into soft, comfortable fibers. Fabric that is ring-spun has a slightly finer thread and is known for being more compacted which results in a higher strength fabric.
