Of all the seminal moments in a man’s life-graduations, weddings, the first curled fist of your child around your little finger- none means more than the first time he chooses his own underwears. Compiling the perfect underwear line-up will do wonders for how you feel in your clothes and will soon put a stop to your boxers getting funny ideas about moving far further northwards than your trousers. To make sure your underwear etiquette is on point, I’ve put together absolutely everything you need to know about getting your kecks in check.
Below Are How To Pick The Right Underwears For Guys
Boxers Shorts (Underwears)
Traditional boxers shorts offer maximum coverage, comfort and breathability but can often bunch and ride up so do not work well with slim trousers. Look for a modern, tailored cut that is much more flattering and works well with slimmer legwear. This means they will complement any body shape, being both flattering and extremely comfortable.
Trunks (Underwears)
These are a newer style and offer the simplest silhouette, ideal for wearing under slim-fit trousers. They sit perfectly on the hip, a little lower than other styles, and are short in the leg, cutting across mid-thigh, which make them best for men with skinnier legs. Take care with the (hipster) styles, warn the experts at M&S; they sit low, so work best with tucked in shirts. Or you risk an inmate breeze every time you bend down.
Boxer Briefs (Underwears)
These are a hybrid between the traditional boxer short and the trunk- they sit on the waist and are slightly longer in the leg. Universally flattering and versatile, they’re the go-to option for most. Particularly good for those with fuller buttocks.
Athletic Underwears
If you have ever tried a run-in baggy boxers, I apologize. Athletic underwear comes with special requirements – it has to keep you in place and be breathable enough to cope with sweaty gym sessions.
Silk Underwears
It’s a classic choice, but silk is quickly disappearing from the underwear market. And for good reason. Although it offers incredible lightness and breathablility, it’s a delicate fabric that doesn’t benefit from wash and wear and damages easily.
Mesh Underwears
The go-to material for sports-oriented underwear, mesh is light and breathable. Some brands go even further and use heat-sensitive mesh fabric that helps disperse body heat and leaves your pants feeling cool to touch – even after a bout of cardio.
