The Best (Actually Stylish) Briefs for Men
The reason the great men’s underwear debate will never truly be settled is that it all comes down to a matter of preference — what one man may see as breathable, another may see as loose and sloppy; what some men may find supportive, others will see as constrictive. If you prefer something fitted and supportive, then briefs are a great option.
Since briefs stop at or just below the pelvis, rather than descending down the thigh, they can be a good option for anyone who wears more fitted pants — boxers (and some boxer briefs) can bunch up or show through the fabric of the pants. Briefs also provide the most support and structure when compared to boxers or boxer briefs.
If you’re looking to re-up your underwear drawer, we’ve rounded up some of the best briefs out right now. These options all have a traditional fly and an elastic waistband. While all of the options are mostly cotton, some are 100% cotton, while others blend soft cotton with light polyester, which has moisture-wicking benefits. These are the best briefs for men to get.
