What Not to Wear — and What to Choose Instead
Hooks and belts show through thin fabrics. Seamless or no-hardware undershirts hide completely under clothes.
Athletic compression shirts can look obvious. Cotton-like or seamless undershirt styles blend in as normal underwear.
Bodysuits are for full-body shaping. For upper-body smoothing, a tank or short sleeve undershirt is more discreet.
If you need strong waist cinching, a body shaper vest with belt may be required, but it will look less like regular underwear. This guide is for men who prioritize disguise.
