clothing

And guys, those of you with large thighs, and ahem, are more well-endowed must certainly get a pair of briefs.
Briefs have a fascinating history. Do you know? The first type of
underpants
was a loincloth, which the ancient Egyptians used to wear. Since then, the loincloth has come a long way. They have been transformed by technology to become the most advanced pair of briefs. Today, briefs are something that offers high performance. They claim to do everything from filtering flatulence to emitting soothing vibrations. Therefore, most guys own a pair. Hence, they are undeniably an excellent choice for guys who need support or prefer to keep everything in one place. They are also perfect for those who do not care about the excess fabric in boxer briefs or trunks. No doubt, they are a great piece of shield for moderate sports and are essential for everyday dressing.
Types of briefs you need to have in your closet
The briefs are your standard, go-to underwear. They come in a variety of rises, designs, colours and usually cover your entire backside. However, they leave your upper thigh and side of the leg exposed. Therefore, they are incredibly comfy to wear under just about anything. Nonetheless, no one tells you this, but a wrong pair of briefs can ruin your entire day. The lack of support or a stiff fabric will distract your business. Hence, you need to understand their types first to know which ones will suit you the best.
Long boxer briefs
This classic style of men’s underwear fit from waist to the mid-thigh. Being slightly longer, they typically offer more coverage than the regular types of briefs. Traditionally made of cotton and spandex material, they often are soft and highly comfortable. Apart from this, the brief boxer designs either have a keyhole, fly, pouch or no-fly at all. Moreover, the waistband is usually made of an elastic material and comes in a separate colour. This elastic band usually has the name of the manufacturer printed on it. There may also be additional seams around the bottom end of the briefs. For example, some boxers have stitching on the rear to outline the buttocks and avoid a central seam.
Short boxer briefs
If you like loose fitted clothes than those snuggly fitting ones, then these short boxers will please you. The boxer shorts are quite popular with women too. This underwear usually is cut like boxers but fit like briefs. They provide support and even coverage to an extent. You can wear them with any outfit as they are short and comfortable. You can also wear them under your sexy pair of shorts. This is they are a great attire for sports events or when wearing tight pants. Plump men must opt for dark coloured ones because they tend to make you look thin. Spandex, cotton or Tencel and spandex mix are usually the materials used to design them. This explains the reason why they last longer and fit better.
Men’s low-rise briefs
Do you dread wearing those low waist outfits in your wardrobe? Well, don’t be anymore! You have the low-rise briefs to fit your skin perfectly. They offer you comfort and eliminate the need to adjust your outfit constantly. Thus, they are highly popular in the market right now. The waistband of this brief rests on the hips approximately 3 inches below the waist. However, they still have side fabric, and the legs are traditional brief legs (not thigh cut). Moreover, they may or may not have a front fly. All this adds to extra comfort. Apart from this, you can also wear them with shorts and skirts because of their shorter length feature.
Sports briefs
Even if your top drawer is full of those daily wear briefs, you might find that the same pair that fits you great on workdays or casual weekdays might not work well when you are out playing or exercising. Therefore, it becomes imperative to get underwear which you can wear for such activities. And what can be better than a sports brief? They are one of the best alternatives to an athletic supporter. They have a front cup and a back panel. However, the sides are nothing more than the elastic waistband. This elastic band facilitates more comfort. Moreover, this style provides more modesty than a string bikini or thong, especially for ladies.
