Let me start by saying this shirt is like a wrestling match to put on—but once it’s in place, it’s *chef’s kiss*. I wore it under a fitted dress shirt for a presentation, and my usual "dad bod" looked suspiciously sculpted. No more awkward tugging at my shirt after sitting down. The compression is FIRM (think ‘spanx for bros’), but surprisingly breathable during my post-work iced coffee run.

Pro tip: SIZE UP if you’re new to compression wear. I ignored the reviews and went true-to-size first—cue me doing interpretive dance trying to peel it off. The second try (one size larger) was Goldilocks-level perfect. It stays put all day but launches itself across the room when removed—like it’s celebrating freedom.

Unexpected bonus? My lower back pain (from hunching over laptops) felt oddly supported. Downside? The V-neck isn’t deep enough to hide under some polos. Still, 10/10 for making me feel like I have my pre-pandemic torso back—even if it’s just an illusion.
