Spanx Body Shapers Are For Everyone Even Men

December 4, 2011 By: Alison Blackman

Celebrities do it.  Fashionistas do it. Even men do it.  Get SPANX(ed) that is. In case you are wondering about my semi-naughty play on words, it’s simply that without SPANX even supermodels would look less sleek in their bondage dresses and clingy knits.

There is power, literally and figuratively, in great body shapers.  SPANX makes a dizzying array of items for women and yes, even for men, to help everyone look better in their clothes.  Now that the holidays are here (along with some potential over-indulging at the bar and buffet), you may want to consider some body shapers to help make your holiday clothes (and all of your outfits) look great. SPANX is ready to serve up what you need.

these sexy SPANX are definitely not the same-old, same-old!

SPANX activewear looks good and makes YOU look good, too. From Look-at-me Leggings to SPANXActive 390 power yoga pants!

By now, most people have learned that body shapers abound in the marketplace, but not all are created equal. The SPANX brand is nicely made, and many styles are so beautiful you could consider them as outwear.  The level of compression varies depending upon what you need to accomplish, making some styles so comfortable you could wear them all day and not even remember you have them on. Others offer serious compression and you’d probably wear them just for a few hours to attend a special event.   Visit www.spanx.com to see all of the options, then go to your favorite store and stock

this hot pink SPANX “dress” from the new swimwear collection would make waves in or out of the pool

At the SPANX lounge during fashion week, I got a chance to see an entire suite-ful of new items. Some are on the market now, some will be available later in the year, or next year.  The swimwear collection was amazing. Check out the hot pink (swim/shaper) dress in the photo above. You can’t believe that’s a body shaper, but it is!

It would be nearly impossible for me to describe everything I saw, and everything that is available right now, but you can visit www.spanx.com and check out what you want and need for yourself, There are tights, and camis, bras and leg/butt shapers. Some allow you to wear your own bra under the tops, some act as under/outwear. And there are slips of all types….

Spanx for Men

spanx for men

SPANX for men control his gut, and a lot more, too!

Before you snicker, consider. It’s a competitive world out there and men want to be in it to win it, too. With jobs increasingly difficult to find,  secreting a roll of not-too-lovely fat under a suit might be the difference between a “yea” and a  “nay.”  And why shouldn’t men do whatever they can to look their best?

While it might take some getting used to when it comes to wearing a body shaper (or taking it off), men are looking for solutions, and SPANX is providing it. The tees, in black or white, are actually much more flattering than the ordinary, cotton variety, and can be worn as outerwear as well. Maybe it is a temporary fix, but WE do it, so why not the guys?

Spanx was created by Sara Blakely when she realized that she didn’t have the right undergarment to wear under white pants (who hasn’t been there??).   If I remember correclty, their designers are women who understand how a woman’s body works and feels.  You can buy other body shapers, but  they won’t be SPANX . They simply make the largest and most comfortable, well designed body shapers on the market.

I’ll admit that I don’t always like the fit or feel of most body shapers, but SPANX has continually surprised me –their body shaper just do the job, without pain or frustration.  They fit well and look great!  You can get cheaper products (and SPANX does have it’s own,  very good and affordable ASSETS line), but they won’t be SPANX.

You will wish you got ASSETS or SPANX when the other products roll up, slide down, or cut into your skin and ruin your good time at the party!  Get SPANX(ed) and have a better looking (but still comfy holiday).  Visit www.spanx.com or your favorite boutique or department store to find SPANX.
