Last month, Andrew Christian, a men's underwear line sold in boutiques such as Fred Segal in Los Angeles, introduced the Flashback Butt Lifting Technology Boxer -- a stretchy bodyshaping brief with a built-in elastic sling to lift and perk up the back side by "up to an inch."

Such findings, coupled with the relative strength of men's apparel in general -- sales rose 4.4% to $57.2 billion last year, compared with a 1.1% increase to $103.1 billion for women's apparel, according to market researcher NPD Group -- are prompting more online fashion retailers to take aim at men. With easier-to- navigate page views at the Tie Shop, "we wanted to give men features that allow them to see a lot of product in a short amount of time and to be able to find something online quickly, not have them clicking back and forth," says Gerald Barnes, senior vice president of Neiman Marcus Direct, which includes catalog and online divisions.
