Getting the Basics Right
Men’s Inner Wear
I love my underwear. Just love them. I might compromise on the fitting of my jeans, or even my shoes. But undies? Definitely not! It’s that one piece of clothing I don’t ever compromise on — fit, quality or comfort.
It isn't too long ago, when we were limited by our inner wear options – boxer shorts or briefs. Worse, they both came in colours and styles that were not-so-flattering. But, oh, how times have changed!
The men’s underwear industry has exploded with innovations and new designs, and the astonishing array and their variations are too many to count. For example, briefs aren't just briefs anymore — heck no! Briefs come in low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise, and in multiple cuts that can expose or hide parts of your body in a dizzying range of pouches. Men’s inner wear styles now also feature a never-ending list of “add-ons” such as anatomically correct designs, fast-drying fabrics, waist minimizing bands, and the popular, butt or bulge enhancing cuts.
So whether it’s a sexy, single piece or tasteful, pack-of-threes, one simply can’t afford to buy crappy ones with the options available these days. It’s time to burn the boxers you've had in your drawer since college. Your mum probably has great taste and all, but be a man, do yourself a favour, go buy some knicks that you’re proud to show off. No more faded, sagging, holey drawers just because you ran out of clean ones. The only thing better than your underthings, is going commando.
So remember — generous or snug, comfortable or racy, simple or funky, solids or printed, polka, pinstripes or plaid — get them right and you’ll be proud to show your skivvies when business time beckons. Pick well-crafted ones in the finest modal or micro-modal fabrics and some flat-lock stitching, and make your nether regions fall into a comfortable slumber or bounce with joy!
Other than a humble assembly of leaves or a loin cloth in various patterns, here’s a list* of some popular inner wear brands:
