Boxers, Briefs or G-strings-which is right for your man?


Men's underwear choices used to be boxers or briefs, take your pick.  That made things simple or totally boring, depending on your point of view. 

But my oh my, how things have changed.  Brian Boye, Men's Health fashion editor, reports that there are 700 choices for the man who just blew out his last pair of tightie-whities. His article, How to Find the Perfect Pair, discusses trends in men's undergarments. Fascinating, really.

My further study confirmed that there really is a pair perfect for all personality types and lifestyles. I thought I'd share a few.

Let's start with the classics...

He's a Beer and Football Enthusiast.  This classic male personality is never happier than when lounging on the couch in front of a game. Add a few friends and a keg and he's in pigskin heaven. He'll feel totally relaxed in Hanro Retro Woven Boxers. Roomy, cotton and classic. 

He's a Nerd. Brainy, analytical, handy to have around the house. He can fix anything electronic and he makes more money than anyone else on the block. Too bad his fashion sense is so poor. But maybe someday you can get him to ditch those Hanes briefs, the same style he wore in grade school. Good luck. 

He's a Hunter. A cousin of the Beer and Football Enthusiast, the Hunter likes sports, too--only he takes a more active role. He loves huddling in an ice-cold deer stand at dawn, immobile and silent, waiting for his dream buck to come along. Fortunately he can keep "the boys" fairly toasty in a pair of Cabela's camo compression skinz. They control odor, too, important when you are upwind from your prey.

Now on to the fad and rad...

He's a Hunk. Your basic handsome, well-built, all-around male. Brains and personality optional. According to a Men's Health underwear quiz, boxer briefs are the new top choice for men and the woman who love them. One woman commented that the boxer-brief hybrid made "you want to take them right off." Now there's an inducement to try Calvin Klein's new classic, 365 Boxer Brief.

He's a Player. If only he could wear his underwear outside his clothing. Maybe it'd be another warning, in addition to his overly smooth, overly flattering sweet talk and his habit of checking out every babe in the place. This man knows how to seduce and charm, make you feel oh-so-sexy and special. Too bad all the romance flees with the dawn--and his exit from your abode. Give another girl a fighting chance and gift your Player with a Magic Silk G-String Pouch. She'll fully understand he's not husband material. 

He's a Bad Boy. Mama said to avoid them, but they're so much fun. They play heavy metal music. Excel at extreme sports. Race motorcycles in the rain. In contrast to the Player, the Bad Boy can be tamed by the right woman. Maybe he's just not ready to settle down. Yet.
Show you understand his wild side with these 3G Toxxic Trunks. They'll match his tattoos. 

He's an Idealist. This gentle, intellectual soul actually ponders global warming and seeks to reduce his carbon footprint. He's happiest when saving a rain forest or building a Habitat for Humanity home. His coffee is fair trade, his diet is organic, and his underwear is an eco-friendly Bamboo Brief from Report Collection.
