Men, admit it. When it comes to buying underwear, you generally tend to stick to the same style, fit, size and even colour. You don t generally like to experiment with different underwear types even if the ones you have don t fit you properly, peep out of your pants, or make you uncomfortable. But do you know the best underwear for your body built, activity and coverage? To give you some guidance on the most common types of men s underwear in India and to help you choose the perfect one, Yogesh Kabra, founder of XYXX, a new innerwear brand in India, gives you some important tips.
Briefs
These are the most common pair of innerwear that one could find. Most guys own at least one pair of briefs they are the standard, go-to style that has been around forever. Briefs are perfect for a broad built and recommended to be used while playing sports. Do not wear briefs under formals. They cover all the important stuff (your entire package-front and back) but leave the thighs uncovered. The minimal fabric means absolutely no bunching under tighter fitting pants and total versatility. Briefs also tend to come in three rises: high, medium, and low. For optimum comfort, make sure you match the rise of your chosen innerwear with the pants you re wearing.
Trunks
These are becoming increasingly popular. Trunks are basically a hybrid of briefs and boxers. The most recognizable trait of trunks is their square-ness, which is due to its short legs. They are highly versatile since they hug the body, avoiding the potential bunchy-ness of boxers. If you usually wear briefs but are interested in trying something different, this is a good option. Trunks go flawlessly with lean bodies. Trunks go under all casual and formal wear and are comfortable enough for you to last the day.
Boxers
Generally loose fitting, boxers provide the least amount of support out of all the styles. That said since nothing is too compartmentalized, air circulates more freely, meaning they are also the most breathable type of underwear. While traditional boxers tend to be almost baggy, trendier options lean towards slimmer fits. They also have an open fly for easy access and exit, if something needs to get out in a hurry that is! This is a pretty basic and classic innerwear. Boxers are basically nightwear and shouldn t be topped off by any kind of trousers.
Here are the most important underwear tips men need to follow.
