There's a new reason not to judge that guy by his cover, and that reason is Spanx for Men. Yes, men are getting in on undergarment trickery, and while I giggle with friends about my own Spanx "wunderwear," I can't help but laugh out loud at this line of control briefs and boxers with an "innovative 3D pouch to create air circulation and reduce irritation in chafe-prone zones." In other words, his glutes get a boost, and all unwanted bulge is redistributed into the 3-D pouch! Available in black and white.

My friend's grandma says you should make the most of what you've got to work with. If you work with ShapeFx shapewear, you can "make the body you have, look like the body you want." I'm all over control-top stockings and smoothing underwear, but I'd never seen shapewear clothing I'd actually want to wear until I came across this stylish "firm control" pencil skirt by ShapeFx; it flattens your tummy and slims from hips to thighs with a "built-in power-mesh slip with lace trim." Now that's making the most of what you've got to work with!

You could just suck it in at upcoming holiday parties in that slim-fitting party dress, or you could breathe and leave the sucking in to your tights! I'm a huge fan of Spanx tights, but this year I'm going to try out Sculptz tights; they claim to flatten your tummy and hoist up that rear, as well as provide light, massaging leg support. Sculptz are also about $10 cheaper than Spanx and are available in a variety of colors and fun prints (love the herringbone, chevron, and animal prints).
