What your underwear says about you

By the time you’re an adult, you probably already have your preferences figured out. Chances are, you have a favorite cologne, a favorite fabric, and a favorite bath towel. And, whether you realize it or not, there’s probably a style of underwear for men that you tend to gravitate towards. So that begs the question: what does your preferred style of men’s underwear say about you?

Briefs

This is a bold choice, but not as bold as, say, a thong. It shows off a little more than a boxer brief, but everything is still covered. Guys who wear briefs tend to know what they want and to have the best in everything. You’re either in touch with fashion trends or tend to stick with the classics, but nobody would say you’re not stylish. Briefs are perfect to wear under fitted trousers and slacks, because they won’t show through like a boxer brief does, so maybe you’re prone to wearing tailored suits to the office?

Boxer Briefs

Boxer briefs are the safe choice. They’re a perfect blend of boxer and brief, tight enough to go hidden under your clothes but long enough in the legs to prevent chafing. You’re one of the guys, content to not stand out or to make waves. And you put comfort before absolutely everything. This may be a bit of a basic style, but it’s one of the most popular styles of men’s underwear for a reason: it’s comfy. You stick with what works.

 

 

Boxers

Boxers are the underwear most likely to come in fun colors and prints. (No, we haven’t done a scientific study about this – it’s just based on observation.) If loose-fitting boxers are your go-to choice for underwear, what that tells us is that you’re a funny guy who’s not afraid to be yourself. Either you’re the life of the party or you’re more subtle, but chances are, you’ll make someone smile at some point this week.

 

 

Holey Underwear

There are two different guys who wear underwear that have holes in them: those that don’t care, and those who are just super sentimental. So to say what this says about you, we must first ask the question: Why are you wearing underwear that has holes?

Is it because that particular pair has good memories attached to it? Is it because someone special bought them for you and you just can’t let them go? That means you’re sentimental, but you should probably still let your holey underwear go and get yourself an updated, intact pair. Like, today. Put on a new pair of underwear and make good memories (and a better impression).

If you’re the kind of guy who just doesn’t care about the state of your underwear, others probably see you as easy-going. You’re neutral, you get along with almost everyone, and you don’t make too much of a fuss. But…who are you doing that for? Is it to keep your own peace, or just to avoid conflict? Treat yourself to better underwear and don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself!

Thongs and G-Strings

What’s it like to be among the few, the proud, the men who wear next to nothing? Thongs, g-strings, and other low-coverage underwear are among the least likely to be purchased by men, and yet they’re your favorite. Chances are you’re creative, you march to the beat of your own drum, and you might be prone to wearing tight pants. After all, one of the benefits of this style of underwear is that it won’t show under anything. Although, if you’re looking for a really no-show look, you might go…

Commando

Oh, you’re bold. You really put it all out there, huh? There’s nothing wrong with that. You’re not afraid to be who you are and show what you’ve got. You’ll do anything for the sake of comfort. You may even walk around the house in the nude on your days off (in which case, we hope you have your curtains closed. It’s just courteous.)

Although a lot of people find it comfortable to go without underwear, it can actually be detrimental to your health. [link to other blog post here] Instead of going bare entirely, might we suggest switching to underwear that’s so light it feels like you’re wearing nothing?
