The new catwalk slimline silhouettes for men has sparked a burgeoning line of men's 'shapewear.' Like its womens counterpart, new styles in t-shirts, singlets, longsleeves and briefs are made to keep any superfluous bulge at bay without the need to, ahem, suck in your stomach.

In the US, at Saks Fifth Avenue, the hottest new style is an undershirt from an Australian company called Equmen, which aims to improve posture and reduce back pain, in addition to making a man look slimmer. The shirt, which looks roughly like a bicyclist’s jersey, is made of a blend of polyester, nylon and spandex and costs $89 to $119, depending on the style and color. Saks has sold more than 30 percent of its stock in four weeks, “which is incredible,” said Eric Jennings, the men’s fashion director.

Other companies are developing shirts with ergonometric seams, taping inspired by physical therapy equipment and compression panels. Sculptees makes tanks that promise to “slim your waist” and “emphasize your pecs” for $58. Last month Yummie Tummie introduced a men’s line called Ript Fusion with a classic cotton undershirt (also $58), which is updated with a polyester and spandex panel that stretches across the belly. It has sold more than 700 shirts online.

Not to be confused with other enhancing fashion.
