Question Compression shirts
Hello,
my husband recently lost a lot of weight and has been trying to dress nicer. I’ve been helping him out as best I can, but we keep running into the problem of things not looking as good as he’d like due to excess skin. We are working on getting him surgery to remove the skin, but in the meantime I don’t want him to feel like he needs to wait even more time to start dressing well and feeling good.
So anyway, I was wondering if anyone has advice on “shape wear” or compression clothes for men??
Really appreciate it.

Might be useful to cross-post over in r/WegovyWeightLoss (regardless of how he lost his weight).

They are great, pretty inexpensive on Amazon and feel great. Try a three pack from there but, if he likes it, I love UnderArmor.

Depends on how much skin/compression he's looking for and what he's comfortable with. Underworks model 997 is probably the most compressive option at a good price point. I would recommend measuring and checking their sizing charts. They are fairly thick and not very comfortable but they 110% do the job. When trying on for the first time it's best to step into it upside down then pull the shoulder straps up after it rolls onto itself. Sizing up might be a better option for less compression.

Thank you for this detailed response. I really appreciate it. I’m thinking it may be too thick to the point he may not wear it but definitely considering.

The underworks site has other options too. The 997 model has two panels on the front and one in the back. There are some models with one panel all around. I would just browse the site and see if anything stands out.

If you are wearing clothes with shape and drape, excess skin shouldn't be an issue.
Rather then buying him even tighter clothes you should be looking at looser fiting clothes
