The back, sack and crack is pretty much synonymous with male waxing. While it’s most guys’ default hair removal treatment, these other trends are catching on fast. They’re smart, simple and quick enough to do on your lunch hour, and they’ll leave you looking chiseled, silky smooth – and probably feeling quite a lot more comfortable in warm weather.

1 The preened brow
There's more to facial grooming than your morning shave, and it starts with the shape of your eyebrows. Preened eyebrows properly can balance out your jaw and define your face shape. For those of you in-the-know when it comes to female beauty regimes, this is a bit like contouring.
Whether you're channelling the immaculate Geordie Shore look or you just want a low-maintenance, quick tidy-up of rogue hairs, go for a quick wax or thread to get the results you want (we wouldn't recommend simply moving the razor upwards to your eyebrows during said morning shave).

2 The lasered chest
If you're looking for a way to make your regular chest wax permanent, that's totally possible. Laser hair removal can last years. Added holiday-season bonus: a hair-free chest can actually reduce body odour. There are practical bonuses too: it's easier to apply suncream to. So more of that sunkissed, golden glow, and less slightly patchy sunburn that shows where you forgot to rub the cream in (way less awkward on your first day back in the office after two weeks abroad).

3 The silky-smooth arms
Silky smooth arms (and pits) can have an aerodynamic effect, whether you're a semi-professional water polo player or you just enjoy doing a few lengths in the local pool (actually you're just pretending to do lengths and you're really splashing around – but no one can tell). And if you've got arm tattoos, getting rid of the hair can show off your artwork to its full potential.

4 The abs
If you're a gym and protein shakes diehard fan, waxing your stomach is a great way to show off that hard work. (OK, we're admitting we don't go to the gym for fun.) And if you've not seen the inside of a gym since your last secondary school PE class, waxing your stomach can still highlight definition. Also, if you don't want to be totally hair-free, but you do want to thin it down a bit, waxing weakens hair follicles, so over time it becomes finer and lighter.
