Dear Layla - The Bare Truth
Dear Layla,
My girlfriend complained that my underwear has holes in it, but seriously how does she notice these things?! Anyways, you got any suggestions, if I’m making an effort I don’t want to break the bank but I guess it is time for something new. I don’t want anything too… you know wierd or anything. Got any recession specials?
Thanks,
Briefly EmBareAssed
Hi EmBareAssed,
Well I can understand how she feels, I think it makes a girl feel more like a mom than anything to have to ask her boyfriend to buy new underwear and socks, but as much as I feel for her I do understand where you are coming from. It isn’t something you would necessarily worry about for yourself, but you know you obviously care because A. She’s in the picture, and B. You’ve written in. So I’m happy to lend a helping hand. Here are a few boxers I think you should try:
 |
Classic Woven Solid Vineyard Boxer Short U62612958 by Tommy Hilfiger
I really like this classic style by Tommy Hilfiger, I think the printed waistband and solid colors are understated and subtle enough but still a little more “done up” than what you might be used to! |
 |
Woven Slim Fit Boxer U1513 by Calvin Klein
You definitely cannot go wrong with Calvin Klein! Come on, I think the classic plaid and the subtle logo are really nice and definitely an upgrade your girlfriend will appreciate. |
Above I gave you a couple of boxer options but if you’d like to go in the brief direction there are a lot of nice styles out there. This is totally to your preference because it’s really about what you will feel comfortable in. If you’ve never tried one or the other before I always suggest branching out, who can it hurt right?
I recommend trying any of these briefs:
 |
Steel Micro Low Rise Trunk U2716 by Calvin Klein
I think the Calvin Klein Steel collection in microfiber or cotton are both really great options for briefs. |
 |
Classic Button Fly Boxer Brief U62512352 by Tommy Hilfiger
I think this classic button style by Tommy Hilfiger might also fit the bill of not being weird but definitely being pulled together and updated. |
 |
Basics Button Front Boxer Brief 50125009 by Hugo Boss
Another classic button up, this one from Hugo Boss I think might also keep you securely in your girlfriend’s graces…just don’t let these wear too thin if you know what I mean! |
I hope this gave you a start. The selection of men’s styles really goes on and on, and if you’re anything like my boyfriend, I know some of the pics may be much. But think about it this way… you can shop from the privacy of your own home, it’s better than staring at those pics in a department store with some creepy guy hanging over your shoulder right?!
Good luck, and please keep them fresh!
