Look Good In Your Underwear: Best Underwear For Men

Men, let’s talk about your underwears. Your underwears are a lot more than you think; they aren’t just for lazing around in on a Sunday (let’s be honest, every day if you had the choice), they aren’t just something to grab in multi-packs at your local shop, and they most certainly aren’t simple as just something to protect the crown jewels.

In fact choosing a decent pair of underwear has multiple layers of complexity, each one belonging to a different genre of bloke and his particular style. We have three distinct camps; briefs, boxers, and their mutant cousin boxer briefs.

Now, most of you cavemen out there are probably questioning the need for all this discussion, arguing “they’re only pants, no one sees them”, and that my good man is exactly what not to think. Apart from the fact it’s nice to have nice things, and to wear something of decent quality, we also need to think about how our underwear represents us.

"...What you wear to keep your manhood in check says a lot about you as a person..."

Now if you get far enough on a date then you need to listen up; what you wear to keep your manhood in check says a lot about you as a person and also how the woman will react. Wearing underwear is both an extension of your fashion sense and can be a good aphrodisiac if done properly.

Below are the best underwears in each category, choose wisely gentleman.

The Best Underwear for Men​

Boxer Shorts

Boxer shorts are a stalwart of men's undergarments, having been worn for decades. This type of underwear found fame on the waists of boxers (hence the name) and who favoured them because of the free leg movement. Now oddly, boxers would have worn underwear under these shorts, to keep their Johnson in place.

However, this is one of the most favoured benefits of wearing a pair of boxer shorts; the freedom to ‘hang loose’ as it relaxes many men (except when summer rolls in). Choosing a pair of boxers is like making the choice to be loose and free, free from the accidental thong-ing of briefs.

The man who likes the boxer short likes all things easy going; Sunday walks, a cool beer watching the basketball, just generally chilling eating pizza, never a need for sudden movement or strenuous activity. If this describes you then look at the option below for a better idea of what you want.

Sunspel Polka-Dot Cotton Boxer Shorts ($65)

Sunspel were the brand that started the rise of the boxer; in 1985 Nick Kamen starred in an advert for Levi’s commercial donning a pair of Sunspel boxers. Following this, a surge in boxer wearing sprung up, with millions of men opting for the easy-breezy feel over the more compressive restriction of briefs.

This particular pair from Sunspel has double turned seams and a unique back panel to avoid the irritation which comes from the friction of the skin and the seams. The grey boxers are made from the highest quality cotton and are quite stylish with the white polka dots.

The elasticated waistband found on most underwear these days allows for multiple variants of the male with the days masticatory activities.

Calvin Klein Men's Cotton Classic Woven Boxer (3-pack $52)

Briefs

Briefs were introduced in the 1930’s by Coopers Inc., but at this time they were called ‘Jockey’s’ because they gave support in a similar way to jockstraps. These days only a select few can wear briefs, and when I say can, I mean should.

Due to Calvin Klein’s domination of the brief world the idea of someone who doesn’t look like Garrett Neff wearing briefs seems strange and unfamiliar. Effectively what I’m saying is that you have to secure a few thousand hours in the gym to earn the right to wear them.

The tighty whiteys have become the weapon of choice for men of a certain aesthetic nature to house their manhood and expose their legs and abs in all their glory. A more rotund man looks more like a baby in a diaper than a marbled Greek god, so men leave the ego at the door.

Calvin Klein Hip Briefs ($30)

These are the classics of the brief world, but in a different colour. Rather than the brilliant white briefs which commonly adorn the olive-skinned demi-gods which are often plastered over the glossy fashion mags, this one is in blue. These briefs are made out of a stretch polyamide blend, meaning they fit snuggling but do not constrict the legs or hips.

Briefs like these will be a treat for you and your special lady; they are extremely flattering and make you look the part. While $30 might seem like a lot for a piece of underwear, think of it as an investment in your night or in your own sex appeal.

If I was going to give one tip for these briefs, it would be do some pushups and sit ups before you do the reveal; getting that pump can only help right?

It also features an insulating material that will keep your genitals cold on hot days and warm on colder days.

With a very durable waist band that will endure the resistance of wearing, unwearing and machine washing.

Boxer Briefs

This is a relatively modern hybrid which combines the length and look of boxer shorts with the compression and ‘security’ of the brief. If you don’t like the fact that boxers are so free and loose and you also don’t like the tightness of briefs, then why not give boxer briefs a try.

Now, this argument is probably falling on deaf ears, as most men under the age of 40 are opting for the boxer brief. However, you need to make sure of two things; firstly that they are made of a material with enough quality to not lose its compression and end up as boxer short.

With regards to the way they look; they look pretty good on everyone, so everyone’s a winner. Cheap elastic and cotton/elastic mixes can quickly turn into a loose form of the product you bought. Don’t cheap out on these, you’ll regret it.

Derek Rose- Hipster Stretch-Cotton Boxer Briefs ($45)

Just to make sure this is clear, these boxer briefs are not made by the similarly named NBA star Derrick Rose who plays for the Chicago Bulls.

This Rose started in 1926 with a passion for making the absolute best luxury underwear out there. The brand grew over three generations to produce the awesome pair you see on the left.

The Savile Row based brand have worked to make these boxer briefs relaxed yet form fitting, using a blend of cotton and elastane to give the material that reflex to fit your manhood properly.

These boxers are both made well and look good, if your date pulls your jeans down to see these she’ll be pretty darn impressed.
