Boxer briefs are one of the most comfortable underwear styles for men. Boxer shorts are versatile and can be worn as underwear or even as nightwear. Boxer briefs are a bit tighter than boxer shorts. Boxer shorts have become very popular especially with the younger generation and athletes. Their unique design provides a close, comfortable fit from the waist to the thighs.
Boxer briefs became popular in the 1990s. Before this, only a handful of underwear manufacturers made them. Early names for the boxer briefs were mid-length briefs and thigh-length briefs.
Many prominent manufacturers of boxer briefs such as Calvin Klein, Jockey, Bonds and Ralph Lauren have introduced a wide range of boxer briefs onto the market. Today, boxer briefs are the best choice for men who prefer day long comfort. Some boxer briefs are made with a combination of polyester and cotton. However, a complete cotton variety is also available for a relaxed fit.
Men mostly prefer dark colours when it comes to boxer shorts or boxer briefs. Some prefer a check print design. More adventurous men opt for the low-rise boxer briefs. Boxer shorts, like the ones from Calvin Klein, have a more loose fit and can be worn by larger men. The elastic waist bands on most boxer shorts are covered with extra material for additional comfort.
Boxer shorts are also available in satin. These are best for nightwear or for wearing while lounging at home. These boxers usually come in bright solid colours, and bold, bizarre prints are also available. Satin boxer shorts have a sheen and are made from polyester. They are often as comfortable as their cotton counterparts Boxer shorts come with an access flap, button front, pouch or no fly at all. They are light, breathable and machine washable. Men love boxer shorts for their comfort factor and often wear them at night for this reason.
