A: Women have been using shape-wear for years to help smooth lumpsand bumps in order to get closer to achieving their ideal figure. For some reason, though,shape-wear for men has virtually remained a secret, despite being readily available. Trystarting with a shaping T-shirt as your base layer, like this seamless nylon model fromOne Flat Jack. It will compress your chest without feeling uncomfortable, leaving you witha slimmer looking physique. Over top, layer a dress shirt that skims your body but hasbreathing room, and pair it with a single-breasted, dark blazer worn unbuttoned. Q: Spring is around the corner and sois golf season. What are some outfits I can wear from the golf course to a date?A: The great thing about well-designed golf clothes is that they canbe worn on and off the course.
