Varvatos's design is the most like today's boxer briefs, though, which are longer and elasticated. Some folks claim to have seen pairs earlier on in history - like in Sears catalogs or in films like American Gigolo. The hybrid style is comfortable, supportive and flattering. This brilliant melding of boxer shorts and traditional briefs boasts the support of briefs while providing additional length in the leg for more coverage. In the mid-’90s, John Varvatos - then the head of menswear design at Calvin Klein - invented the boxer brief.
Other options are made with odor-fighting merino wool, cooling bamboo fibers and breathable synthetics - all worth a look. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with white cotton, but there’s a range of colors and patterns available depending on your taste. But, before you begin comparing things like stretchiness, softness, and shape, learn the basic styles first because it's easy to call one pair one thing when it's really something else: aka when you broadly call a style boxers when they're actually boxer briefs.īriefs might be considered the most practical underwear due to their supportive fit, non-creeping tendencies, breathable cotton fabric and no-nonsense waistband. There are numerous styles and countless options available in fabrics like cotton, merino wool and high-performance synthetics out there from brands both new and old. Ready for that refresh? Here's an important tip: Just because you're swapping out old pairs doesn't mean you need to replace them with the same style from the same brand. Switching them out will make you feel better, too. What’s more, the new set provides comfort and looks quite good (especially compared to those you've owned for the better part of a decade). But refreshing your underwear is as important as buying a new electric toothbrush. Relegated to the backs of dark dresser drawers and thoughtlessly shuffled on every morning, it suffers from neglect: Maybe you’re stuck in a rut, busy with life or spending money elsewhere. Too much of the time, underwear is an overlooked part of the wardrobe.
