Did you know that choosing the right men’s underwear makes a big difference? Being the most utilized item of clothing in your wardrobe, it can affect how you physically feel throughout the day.
From briefs, boxer shorts to trunks, let’s look at each type of men’s underwear to help you decide.
MEN’S BRIEFS
Briefs are compact and supportive underwears that don’t extend to the thighs. They are suitable for short men or men who have thick thighs. If you are on the short side and find that boxers don’t complement your body frame, briefs may fit you better. Because of the cutting, briefs are also suitable for those who are bigger and muscular. Individuals with such physique may find other underwear styles like boxers or trunks uncomfortably tight around their big thighs.
MEN’S BOXER SHORTS
Loose-fitting and light-weight, boxer shorts or “boxers” come in various styles from cropped and baggy to long and a tighter fit. The classic style offers more coverage, while modern low-rise options will give a snug-fitting. Known for their ventilative design, boxer shorts are comfortable to wear and best for men with stout, tall or large-framed figures. Even though boxer shorts are suitable for larger, taller individuals, they may not be comfortable for guys with thick thighs since the longer fabric can obstruct and chafe while walking. Some may even wear boxers to sleep as they aren’t tight and don’t offer much support.
MEN’S TRUNKS
Trunks have a design combination of both boxers and briefs, except that trunks have a shorter leg length. Best suited for leaner guys with narrow hips and thinner legs, wearing a pair of men’s trunks can visually even out the proportions. Since the legs of the trunks are shorter, they also give an elongating effect, which makes the person look tall. Men who are well-built and muscular should avoid trunks as they’ll unnecessarily widen the frame and add discomfort around the thighs.
