Men's Sheer Black Floral Lace T-Shirt - Romance

A t-shirt that hides nothing but dresses everything

The Romance t-shirt from Anaïs for Men takes the most ordinary shape there is, the crew-neck, short-sleeved t-shirt, and cuts it in a black lace with a floral pattern. Big flowers, foliage and scrolls are spread over a sheer background: skin shows everywhere between the motifs, on your chest, stomach, back and arms.

Its close-fitting cut makes it a real piece of lingerie: the lace follows your shoulders, pecs and waist instead of hanging loose. No logo waistband or superfluous detail here, the lace alone does all the work. Anaïs for Men, a Polish label of sexy men's lingerie, makes it in Europe in a polyamide and elastane blend that makes it supple and stretchy.

Its strong points

Lace without the preciousness. Dense floral pattern, deep black, t-shirt cut: the result is sensual, never sappy. Far from a nightie, much closer to rock.

A transparency that intrigues. The flowers cover in places, the sheer background reveals elsewhere: the eye looks for your nipples, follows the line of your abs, goes back to your shoulders.

A garment, not just lingerie. You can wear it on its own on a night out, under a jacket or an open shirt, as well as a private outfit.

Stretchy comfort. Thanks to the elastane, the lace stretches with your movements and snaps back: you can raise your arms, dance, stretch.

The go-with-everything black. It pairs with anything, from raw denim to leather, and flatters every skin tone.

What it shows off

Your chest and shoulders, outlined by the fitted cut and revealed by the transparency.

Your tattoos, if you have any: they show through the lace and blend with the floral pattern, for a striking effect.

Your boldness. A man in lace leaves nobody indifferent. It's a style statement, and a great way to play with the codes of masculinity.

How to wear it

On its own, over black jeans or leather trousers, for a club night where you fully intend to be noticed.

Under an open suit jacket, for an evening look that's both chic and provocative.

As a lingerie outfit, with black boxer briefs or a brief: in our photos, it's paired with matching lace boxer briefs, sold separately.

On stage, in drag or for Pride, black lace always makes an impression under the spotlights.

In private, you can keep it on: it doesn't get in the way of caresses at all, and the feel of lace on skin adds one more sensation.

Size and lace care

• Available sizes: XXL and 3XL, in a close-fitting, stretchy cut: take your usual size, and the bigger one if in doubt for more comfort.
• Take off rings, watch and bracelets before putting it on: they're what snag the lace.
• Hand wash in lukewarm or cold water with a mild soap, pressing without rubbing or wringing.
• Dry flat, in the open air, away from direct sun and radiators.
• No tumble dryer, bleach or fabric softener; if needed, a cool iron on the inside through a cloth.
• Store it folded flat, away from Velcro and zips.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: Can you really see through it?

A: Yes. The lace background is sheer across the whole garment, only the floral motifs are denser. Your chest, back and arms show clearly.

Q: Are the boxer briefs in the photos included?

A: No, the t-shirt is sold on its own. It pairs very well with black boxer briefs or a brief, sheer or not, depending on the effect you're after.

Q: Is the lace scratchy?

A: The polyamide and elastane blend makes the lace supple and stretchy. If your skin is very sensitive, wear it for a few hours at home first to test it.

Q: Is there a sleeveless version?

A: Yes, the same floral lace comes as a Romance tank top, for those who prefer to keep their arms bare.
