For a long time, shapewear has been a piece of clothing that catered mostly for women. Think of corsets, girdles, and bodysuits—these are aimed to enhance their female form. But when it comes to the male department, there’s only a handful of brands gents can depend on to help them achieve the silhouette they want. Lucky for Filipino men today, there’s a brand offering men’s shapewear where style, function, and comfort meet.

Led by actress and former beauty queen Kylie Verzosa, Solá has always set its eyes on making innovative products and filling gaps in the industry. After its successful launch, the brand unveiled its collection of men’s shapewear, the newest addition to its Mercury collection.

“Sola celebrates whoever you are, what you want to be, and people’s bodies,” Kylie told Manila Bulletin Lifestyle. “This collection is all about embracing what a modern man is supposed to be. It is kind of breaking boundaries. Shapewear isn’t just for women, it is for men, too. We are a young brand and it is kind of risky. But we believe this collection is a tool to express who you are.”

It features three pieces—the Sculpting Boxer Shapewear Shorts, the Sculpting Short Sleeve Shapewear Shirt, and the Sculpting Sleeveless Shapewear Shirt—in Black and Slate tones. One of the products’ highlights is their high compression technology. Through advanced fabric technology, the shapewear shirts and shorts offer targeted compression for the torso and core control and help improve posture. They are also breathable, and non-constrictive, and aid in muscle recovery.

Apart from its function, the collection also spotlights versatility with its universal design. With its sleek and modern look,  the shapewear can be worn seamlessly under any outfit, or on its own, providing a polished look without visible lines.

“At Solá, we believe in empowering individuals to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin,” Kylie said. “Our Men’s Shapewear Collection is a testament to our commitment to inclusivity and innovation. We are thrilled to offer a solution that caters to the modern man’s needs and challenges traditional norms.”

Available in a variety of sizes from small to extra large, the collection is now available for pre-order at sola.com.ph. The pieces will be available for purchase on Solá’s website, official Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop starting August 13, 2024.
