The tank top with shelf bra was Ben’s idea some time ago. Tried them and I have 10 of them now in variety of colors to ensure if wearing one it matches my clothing perfectly.
I didn’t think they’d give much support but at a C cup I find they continue to hold me in place great and add slight compression that’s not anywhere near uncomfortable like a sports bra. Perfect for when I need to wear dress shirts and such that don’t give much stretch. And doesn’t show at all like my pullovers do in more form fitting clothing like dress shirts and such.
My favorite is a brand called Orpally I believe they are 3-4 for 28.00 on Amazon. I’m 5’11 205lbs C cup and the large fits me perfectly if it helps to size things up.
But yeah, the idea of being in a bra as a man is frightening in some social moments. It took me forever to wear one to the gym. I wear one regularly now and have seen several times a couple people glancing or looking that indicates they recognize the outline. I mind my business and no one seems bothered and it’s fine. I have breasts. I’d rather be physically comfortable than make others socially comfortable.
But it’s funny when people compliment my chest in suppose they see my arms and legs and think muscle. But there’s been a few times friends will poke my chest and pull back that makes me feel like they realize it isn’t muscle.
