Best Boxer Briefs Of 2021 For Men And Boys

The key to a great outfit is a solid foundation. Your underwear provides an essential security layer to the clothes you wear. It's your skin's first defense against bacteria and other dirt that might otherwise irritate you. You might as well pick out a pair of underwear that you enjoy wearing, right? Let's find out what kind of underwear is best for your first layer. 

How to Know If Boxer Briefs Are Right for You 

Perhaps you've always worn boxers or briefs, and you've never ventured away from these styles of underwear. You may enjoy the familiarity of boxers and briefs, but are these styles right for you? If you've ever thought about switching to something different, now is the time to explore a new style. Here are a few signs it's time to switch to boxer briefs. 

If You Appreciate Extra Coverage 

Perhaps you've been wearing briefs for your entire life. This style can provide a sense of tightness and security, but it may leave you feeling a little bit exposed. Boxer briefs feel similar to briefs with the coverage length of boxers. If you've been thinking about trying a more covered-up style, boxer briefs could be a solid alternative.

If You Like a More Gentle Fit 

We often stick to what we know. If you've worn briefs for years, you could be used to the tight feeling around each thigh. It might be time to experiment with a more comfy design, however. Boxer briefs have a gentle fit that doesn't squeeze your legs or leave you feeling too breezy. It's close to your skin while providing a flexible fit for maximum comfort. 

If You Like Soft Fabrics on Your Skin 

Everyone should feel comfortable in the clothes they wear – primarily on more sensitive body parts. Some pairs of boxers are made from material that's rougher with a more structured fit. If you'd like your underwear to be more soft and cozy, boxer briefs are your next clothing article to try.
