The fact that most of the time your underwear is
hidden from the world doesn't mean that you can allow yourself to wear some old, overstretched and full of holes undies.
Underwear matters and this not only on a date night. It's a question of
your health, well-being, and self-esteem. So let's dive into the world of men's underwear...
Why underwear matters?
Good underwear has a few particular roles :
- it provides a support for your private parts and reduces friction with your clothing (if you ever wore a jean without your undies on a hot summer day, you know what I mean...)
- it absorbs sweat and other body fluids and this way keeps the moisture away and your trousers clean inside,
- it helps to regulate the temperature of your lower body parts
- it makes you feel good and comfortable.
It's really important to choose your underwear wisely and not to rely on your relatives' choice on Christmas Day or on the top promo items in your local supermarket. Fortunately, nowadays the possibilities of styles, colors, and fabrics are almost unlimited and the only problem is to choose the right one for you. So let's start with the basic styles!
Brief
Without any doubt, briefs are one of the most preferred underwear items for men. Almost every guy feels good wearing brief inside their clothing. It's safe, comfortable and good for skin. The elastic waistband and the Y-shaped front cover provide excellent support for your intimate parts and may even emphasize your package.
For whom?
This most classical style suits mostly the thin and muscular bodies but it looks good also if you're a short person. Due to its cut, it may prolongate visually your legs or make your thick hips look slimmer. But if your a bigger man, try to avoid them as they will bring some extra attention to your weight.
The briefs are available in various designs and sizes. If you prefer a sober, classy style choose the brands like Cut For Men - C4M but if you like to reinvent the old standards, you'll find your happiness in Joe Snyder's or Malebasics collections.
Trunk
One of the most versatile types of men's underwear, perfect for every occasion and pretty all body types. Thanks to its elastic waistband it seats perfectly on the hip (a little bit lower than the brief) and covers the upper part of the thighs. It's quite similar to the swimming trunks and some of Joe Snyder models may play both roles. The trunk is also ideal for wearing under slim or skinny-fit trousers.
For whom?
Everyone, although it looks better if your thighs are not too big.
Boxer shorty
Inspired by loose boxing short, this underwear offers great breathability and comfort of movements so it's very often worn as relax or sleepwear. However, it provides no support for your private parts and it's quite difficult to slide into your trousers (not even to mention the slim-fit ones). Some of today's designers try to fit it a bit more to the legs.
For whom?
Mostly everyone, although it looks better on a muscular silhouette. Looks a bit strange with skinny legs.
Boxer brief
It's a hybrid in between trunk and boxer shorty. Created to combine the benefits of both, it provides excellent support and the additional length in between your legs helps to avoid any rubbing or chafing. Whether you prefer classic cuts and colors from Cut for Men C4M or more fantasist and funny style of Joe Snyder or Malebasics, you will get satisfied with the quality of boxers briefs proposed by Rolling Skulls.
For whom?
Completely versatile is agreed for all body types
That's all concerning the basics. Hope it helps you during your next purchase. And if you're still interested in this topic, don't miss our next post to learn about some fancy and sexy styles of men's underwear.
