Spanx Women's Arm Tights Undershirt

Product Information

There's also no denying that they do make your arms noticeably more streamlined, in the same way that Spanx's high-waisted pants do. I'm not an advocate for shapewear as an essential part of womanhood or as the only route to looking or feeling good, but these pieces can make your clothes look their best. I'm always struggling to find slimline crop-tops that work well under pieces I want to keep wearing in the colder months, such as this sleeveless jumpsuit.

While I could definitely feel my upper half being pulled in when I put them on, another odd problem presented itself; you get a counter spare tire around your middle. There would be no point in having a sucky-in, long-sleeved layer underneath that, unless the outer top’s silhouette was also skin tight.

With the white, pastel and light-grey shades, you'll want to consider your bra options carefully if wearing Arm Tights without another layer over the top. However, I'll admit the benefits might bemore keenly felt if your arms are bigger or if you're more self-conscious of them in the first place. A sleeveless dress at a wedding, a spaghetti strap top on holiday - these are the times that you might want a miracle sartorial solution to swoop in and hold up any surplus arm jiggle. Given that Blakely is the woman that has revolutionised the underwear market and given women around the world the sculpted waists and bums needed to carry them through a decade of bodycon dress styles, I thought I’d better trust her.

So whilst each top does feel like a little hug (andthey add atouch of firmness to the overall look of your arms), I wouldn't say they're working incredible miracles. Right now, it's passé to have a Trinny and Susannah–style discussion of "bingo wings" or to even consider the concept that women might want to cover up their arms for fear of the aforementioned wobble.which I could imagine manypeople finding useful for adding a bit of interest to a basic party dress. The arm tights take the form of a crop top (designed to be less bulky under your clothes), in basic block colours and are therefore easy to layer underneath shift dresses and sleeveless tops, instead of a long sleeve T-shirt or polo neck, for autumn. Whether you're planning on covering up or want their "slimming" capabilities, keep scrolling to see what happened when I put them to the test.

And within this new Spanx creation lies a potentially useful little layering tool that could be a great part of your lingerie capsule wardrobe. Additionally, if you’ve embraced the modest fashion movement, Spanx's Arm Tights just might be the things you’ve been looking for. founder Sara Blakely is keen to apply her magical tightening, lifting, and smoothing fabrics to another of our problem areas, our bingo wings.Once I worked out which way around the arm tights were supposed to go (I originally put them on back to front), they were actually quite comfortable. I, and everyone I know who has ever declared their bingo wings to be a ‘body hangup’, all have one thing in common.
