Men's Underwear Guide - How To Find Comfortable Briefs, Trunks & Boxer Shorts

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to men’s underwear styles, materials, and selection criteria. They discuss various underwear types including boxer shorts, briefs, boxer briefs, and thongs, explaining the pros and cons of each. The speaker covers material options ranging from cotton to modal and micromodal, and offers guidance on choosing colors and brands based on budget, fit, and intended use.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that boxer briefs or trunks offer the best balance of comfort and support for most occasions, while boxer shorts are prone to bunching and sweating, and briefs lack sufficient gym support
• The Gazette team recommends selecting underwear colors close to your skin tone to prevent visibility through clothing, with nude, heather grey, or darker grey being preferable to white or patterned options
• The Gazette team emphasizes that long-staple cotton (over 5cm) and materials like micromodal or micromodal air provide superior durability and softness compared to cheaper short-staple cotton, despite higher initial cost
