The kind of boxers clothing you wear tells your significant other a lot about you. The patterns, colors and pictures on your underwear can send a subtle message about your personality, style, and sexiness. Some men choose to sport images of hundred dollar bills and yellow smiley faces that signal fun and sexiness while others choose to stick with neutral patterns that signify maturity and class. Whatever you decide to do, it’s important to follow underwear etiquette and change out your boxers often so that they’re always fresh and clean.

A cross between underwear and loungewear, boxers range in styles from loose to baggy to form-fitting boy shorts. Most have a fly in the front and can be closed with metal snaps or a button (although some of the more modern options are designed to cover the opening completely without the need for any sort of fastener).

Dress to Impress: Elevate Your Wardrobe with Boxers Clothing for Men

While briefs hug your cherries tightly and can leave you feeling as exposed as a low hanging branch of wild berries, boxers have the freedom to let your bits hang loose and free. They can be worn under a fitted pair of jeans and a button-down shirt, or more casually under an oversized T-shirt while working from home or dog walking.

Boxer shorts also offer a great canvas for prints and graphics, so you can really let your personality shine through. Some of our favorites include J. Crew’s boxer shorts in printed patterns that demand a second look (think eggs and bacon, boxing crabs, astronauts, and more) as well as Mack Weldon’s buttery-soft jersey knit 18-Hour boxers with a clever back panel that eliminates the “cheese cutter” central seam.
