Guide To Mens Underwear Cuts
Gone are the days when buying mens underwear meant a quick trip to the local M&S for some saggy white Y Fronts. These days fashion conscious males are just a little more demanding and want underwear that’s not only functional – but gosh darned stylish as well.
For those of you who need a little guidance, the team here at Blokes Undies have decided to put together a short guide to the different styles and cuts of mens underwear on the market today. So sit back, relax and let us guide you through the underwear fashion maze!
Boxer Shorts & Boxer Briefs
 |
Traditionalists will recognise this cut all too well. These days however, boxer shorts come in a variety of styles and fabrics. Short cut legs create a trunk style boxer, but the more traditional length extends to a mid-thigh location. Choose from button fly or one of the increasingly popular pouched front boxers which offer great support as well as a more traditional underwear coverage. Many swimwear styles are also currently being offered in a boxer or trunk boxer style as beach / pool fashion becomes a little more daring, opting for styles that cling to the skin and highlight the male physique. |
Trunks
 |
Fans of retro underwear styles have been lapping up this relative newcomer to the mens undies scene. Reminiscent of the mens swimwear styles of the 50′s these highly trendy short cut, tight fitting undies have really captured the imagination of fashion fans. Shorter leg length and low hips combine to create a silhouette that’s unmistakably sexy. A great style for body conscious and buff men to show off their toned physiques to maximum effect. Often seen with dazzling retro prints and colours, we suspect that trunk style underpants are here to stay! |
Low Rise Hipsters
 |
These are the fashion solution to the increasingly popular low slung hipster style jeans and trousers. OK, showing half your underpants to the world is a style that some men seem to think is trendy, but here at Blokes Undies we reckon you should only show your undies when you’re asked! Available in boxer and brief style, low cut hipster underpants rest on the hip below the waist (hence the name). |

It seems from what i have seen that all young guys wear baggy black boxers. I wear all types and especially briefs, I know you can’t reveal statistics but is there a general split in what guys wear. If you wear a thong you feel the odd one out these days when you see guys pantsing boring black boxers. Would love to know the stats from your view as to what guys actually wear.
I am only 24 years old and still prefer the old standby white underpants since I like to tuck my shirt in the underpants. The only drawback to wearing them like this is that the waistband of my underpants always shows above the top of my pants, but that’s something I have learned to live with even though I’m sure it’s a fashion “faux pas”. I would also be interested in seeing stats of boxers vs briefs and also stats on how many guys tuck their shirt in their underpants and have them showing above the pants like mine.
Like m Kandel, I also find tucking my shirt inside my underpants is more comfortable, aids package adjustment and keeps me neat (and warmer in winter). I do not intentionally show the waistband of my boxerbriefs, but can occasionally be caught with a narrow amount showing, which I can live with. From recent gym visits I can confirm that more guys use this method than you might think, about 50%. My Granddad confirms that all men used to have to dress this way, when underpants were not elasticated and needed to be supported by braces.
Hope this info is useful.
I have been brought up in a three generation household, where both my Father and Grandfather always tucked their shirts inside their underpants. Grandad has always worn braces so I did not realise that he wore his underwear this way until he told me the secret of why his shirt was always neatly tucked in, but i have often caught a glimpse of Dad’s briefs above his trousers, and whilst I don’t deliberately want to show my undercrackers, I have always been taught to wear them this way, and have never thought of dressing any other way. Besides, how could I make the appropriate adjustments during the day without dropping my jeans?
Like Rory, I have always tucked my shirt inside my underpants without giving it a second thought. My mates and I often strip to our knickers when we are at home, so any concern that my undies may show above my jeans has never crossed my mind. My Dad, brothers and cousins all dress this way so I thought it was universal. Am i wrong?
I have just been on a fitness regime, and have shed a couple of inches from my waist. I cannot afford to replace my underpants, so have adopted this methos of dressing, as I can hitch both my jeans and underpants up togrther. Would recommend it to all you guys. My gf thinks it very sevy if she can see the top of my boxers.
What is it with the elastic waistbands of guys underpants these days? they don’t last 5 minutes! Consequently, I have started tucking my shirt inside my knickers – I can now hitch them up as required, or clip them in my braces. I doubt this is fashionable, but it is comfortable and efficient!!!
