Underwear..

Style is all about the details. These details should include your underwear, manties, manderwear. GASP! Let's face it at one point or another someone will get a glimpse of you underwear. Which is not to say that you should 'sag' your pants. That is a style crime. We are no longer in middle school people. That is a way to stand out from the herd for the wrong reasons. I digress. My friend Nicole says that "nothing is more disappointing than seeing a guy in his underwear and there is a Fruit of the Loom Tag."There are more options out there than traditional boxers and 'tightie whities.'

Options include:
  • Traditional Boxers- Be sure to buy the right size your boxers should not bunch up in your pants. Also, if you are wearing tighter pants boxers are not the right choice.
  • Boxer Briefs- "The hybrid" This option is very popular and provide support and for my money more style. Consider the quality of fabric and the look and quality of the waistband with these puppies.
  • Trunks- My personal, all-purpose underwear choice. These are essentially the same as boxer-briefs but are shorter on the leg. These provide a more athletic appearance and are more comfortable around thicker legs.
  • Briefs- There is more to the brief than the 'tightie-whity.' Briefs have come a long way my friends. They are a great option and provide support and comfort. Tip: try microfiber fabrics for additional comfort. These are the best option when wearing a thin, lightweight wool suit. Visible underwear lines are not okay.
  • Thongs- If you're feeling fancy give them a try?
The best tip of all: Clean is best. If your underwear has run it's course send it out to the pasture.

Great article that addresses the options for men's underwear:
