Common Mistakes When Choosing a Slimming Shirt for Love Handles

Slimming shirt with no side compression — love handles still show.

Choose a design with side panels like the Double-Layer Tank.

Slimming shirt that's too tight — it creates side bulges.

Compression comes from design, not smaller size. Order your regular size.

Slimming shirt with hardware under thin shirts — it shows.

Pick no-hardware options like the Firm Undershirt for invisible wear.
