Men’s underwear used to be limited to boxers and briefs. Today, men’s underwear is so diverse that you can try a new style every day for a week.
Briefs (underpants)
Most guys own a pair of briefs. These are basic underwear that come in a variety of styles and patterns that are great for everyday activities and going out. They cover your figure and buttocks, but leave your thighs and legs open and free. This makes them comfortable to wear no matter what you put on them. Men who like briefs need some support to keep everything in place, but don’t like the extra fabric that can be seen in boxers. Low, mid, and high rise briefs can be used to highlight the backside and profile. They expose the thigh as well as the side of the leg. There should be no excess fabric.
Boxer Briefs
Boxer briefs are a type of men’s underwear that were first created in 1992 by designer Calvin Klein and modeled by rapper Marky Mark. This popular design of men’s underwear can be described as “plus briefs.” Traditional boxer briefs are mid-rise shorts that hit about mid-thigh. Only about a third of the thigh is covered by some types of boxer briefs. They provide the same level of support as full-coverage briefs. Boxer shorts are suitable for everyday wear. They are typically a soft combination of cotton and spandex that pairs well with athletic gear for light sports. There are boxer shorts with moisture-wicking materials, odor control, and other features.
Boxer Shorts
Boxer shorts are a type of men’s underwear that were once quite fashionable in the 1920s and have recently seen a resurgence in fashion. Most boxers are made of a stiff fabric. They often have a piece of loose fabric at the back of the shorts that adjusts to the wearer’s buttocks when leaning forward. Most boxers have a back section with two seams that extend to the edges of the shorts.
Trunks
Trunks are becoming an increasingly common choice of men’s underwear. They are a cross between briefs and boxers, but without the extra fabric of boxers. They have short legs and a square shape. Try trunks if you are looking for something a little different. Boxers are not the same as briefs. They are more of a boxer-shaped brief, often referred to as just squares. Trunks are either shorter or longer boxers, depending on how you look at it. Many guys don’t realize that the style of underwear they wear is a trunks.
Jockstraps
C. F. Bennett invented the jockstrap in 1874 to provide support for bicycle riders, often known as bike jockeys, who rode their bikes on the cobbled streets of London. When worn under cycling shorts or singlets, jockstraps provide a cooler, drier experience during strenuous exercise.
