Men's Underwear Style Guide

Men's Underwear Style Guide

Briefs, boxer briefs, trunks…there are more underwear styles for men today than ever before! At Y.O.U Underwear, we’ve chosen one style that we know to be super-comfortable as well as stylish – trunks.

What exactly are the benefits of trunks?

Trunks (also known as square cut briefs) are a hybrid of a brief and a boxer brief; they’re shorter and have less fabric than a boxer brief (baggier style with an elastic waistband), and longer than a traditional brief (a close-fitting style with minimal coverage).

Trunks are actually a newcomer in the field of men’s underwear styles; they first appeared in the 90s before becoming popularised by Calvin Klein in the early 2000s. They have become increasingly popular due to their versatility – they can be worn with just about anything and provide the perfect combination of support and style. They also provide the perfect amount of coverage for casual wear, reaching to just above the thigh. They’re also super-comfortable! Take it from some recent customers: 

“Love these grey trunks. Really love the trunks, they're super soft and very comfortable to wear. Almost don't realise you're wearing them!” – Steve, Oxford

“Really, really like them. Surprisingly more comfortable than my Calvin Kleins” – Adam, Redhill

Our men’s trunks are a smart yet relaxed everyday essential. They’re made of the softest organic cotton to ensure maximum comfort throughout the day.  The black Y.O.U elastic waistband also provides some extra support and is a stylish addition to an otherwise plain design. And they’ve got some other great features, such as:
  • Stretch-blend organic cotton for durability and a great fit!

  • No internal labels

  • Pre-washed, shrink-resistant fabric

  • Positive message inside! As firm believers in the power of positive pants, we’ve hidden kind messages inside our undies to provide a gentle reminder (at unexpected times!) that you make a difference!
