Boxer Brief FAQ’s
Why Are Boxer Briefs So Popular?
The explosion in popularity of boxer briefs can be traced back to the famous Calvin Klein ad campaign during the 90’s. Featuring Mark Wahlberg, the pictures from the campaign were hugely famous. The look quickly became associated with sex appeal, ensuring a massive sales boost for the style.
This popularity has not really dwindled, they’ve quickly replaced the boxer short as the core of the male underwear drawer. This underwear type has been referred to as “one of the greatest apparel revolutions of the century”. John Vavartos himself was a little more pragmatic in describing his brainchild. He said “We just cut off a pair of long johns and thought, this could be cool”. It was John, it really was!
Who Invented Boxer Briefs?
Boxer briefs first became popular in the 1990s. It’s generally thought that the designer John Vavartos was responsible for this during his stint at Calvin Klein. The design was available before the 1990’s; Fans of American Gigolo might recall Richard Gere wore them on screen in the famous 1980 movie.
Why Do Guys Wear Boxer Briefs?
See above! They are much more practical than their baggy, formless predecessor the boxer short. They offer more coverage than briefs, and have all the good points of boxers and briefs. Extra coverage and support means they look and feel great for everyday wear.
Choose from top designers and a range of top class styles – we reckon this cut is already a classic and here to stay. It appeals to a wide range of chaps, from the unadventurous to the downright effervescent.
