There’s something magical about putting on a new pair of jeans. The rigidity of the linen, taught over your skin, the subtle thwack of the waistline when you take them from your drawer. It gets you ready for the day, no matter what you’re doing. Because there are so many various styles of men’s underwear, deciding which one is right for you isn’t always easy. Wearing the incorrect pair of jeans can also ruin your day. All of the wiggling and itching is quite inconvenient. Continue reading to learn the differences between the many varieties of men’s underwear and what will help you look and feel your best.
- Boxer
Boxer shorts are a vintage underwear style that has been around since your father was a kid, if not before, and are named after the shorts worn by boxers. It’s simply that simple.
- Briefs for boxers
The current classic is the boxer brief. For a generation, they were the go-to pants. Of course, Calvin Klein, who pioneered the stretch boxer brief in the early 1990s, remains the gold standard, but other brands now offer boxer briefs.
- Brief
The men’s brief is a bit of a catch-all title, as well as a catch-all style, as we’ll see. In addition to the modern brief. Hipsters and the modern take on the Y-front are also included in the phrase.
- Trunks
The men’s trunk (also known as a hipster) has it all: a pouch for comfort and to keep everything in place; a shorter leg to avoid uncomfortable bunching; and a lower rise, which means the waistband sits below the hips, allowing you to show off your six-pack.
- Thong
The men’s thong is a member of the same skimpy-brief family as the jockstrap and men’s g strings. All three have both functional and aesthetic aspects — they are all honest.
Which color is the best?
- Black
The most popular color of underwear is clearly black, and the black boxer brief probably sells more trousers than the rest of the types combined. It’s simple to understand why: no one will give you strange looks in the gym or be disappointed when you remove your trousers — they’re classic, understated, and dependable.
- White
In recent years, white underwear has gotten a terrible rap, with everyone lamenting the tighty-whities of their youth. White, on the other hand, has a really clean and uncomplicated feel to it.
- Grey
Grey underwear is frequently connected with a sportier appearance and promotes agility. On a more practical level, it stands out from the omnipresent black and is more likely to last longer than white.
- Navy
Navy underwear, or any other blue, is a great way to add a pop of color to your pants drawer while also giving them some personality.
