Most guys in this part of the world haven’t given a thought
to wearing/owning pants or briefs before. On the other hand few have and never looked
back since then.
However, whichever one you go for, comfort and taste must be
put first. Style doesn’t stop at what visual are projected to the general
public but balancing form and function in this area is key.
Boxer shorts are the most common and simplest form of
underwear. They allow for air flow and less restriction. A bit loose fitting,
providing little or no support for ‘the boys’
However they come with a disadvantage. They don’t give
enough protection when ‘big daddy’ is at alert. When pressed or preparing for extracurricular
activities, they give you away which can be embarrassing.
This is where pants/briefs come in .Briefs have a bad
reputation due to their association with children’s underwear or are looked at
as a feminine thing. But some men find briefs to be very comfortable as it provides
support in the right areas; groin or thighs.
To pull off a brief, a man should be in good shape. A man
with a protruding belly or flabby thighs wouldn’t look great in one. Unlike other
underwear, pants/briefs live little to the imagination and rely entirely on a
man’s natural physique.
Finally when choosing the type of underwear you want to go
for, aim for dark colors. Grey and synthetic materials aid ‘breathe-ability’. So
make the right choice and be a man.
