Men have a lot more fashion choices than they did 20 years ago, and underwear is no exception. Now, department stores and boutiques sell everything from boxer briefs to bikini shorts in a variety of styles, fabrics and silhouettes, some of which can be quite pricey. When choosing the right style, don't be swayed by glossy ads---it's all about comfort and what looks good on you.
Instructions
Find your perfect look
1
Ask yourself what your main priority is when it comes to underwear. If you lead an active lifestyle and support is important to you, you may choose to opt for briefs. If comfort is key, a pair of boxers may suit you better. This may be the case if you're sitting at a desk for most of the day, although boxers tend to ride up during the day.
2
Consider your clothing when choosing underwear. Look at the trousers you typically wear on a daily basis. Do you opt for loose-fitting khakis or suits, or find yourself wearing tight-fitting or low-rise jeans most days? In that case, you might opt for a similar style of underwear. Close-fitting underwear can also act as a support garment, giving you a smoother, more sculpted silhouette under your clothes.
3
If you have the body for a thong, go for it. Decide how daring you want to be. Thongs and low-cut bikini briefs are great for showing off body-builder physiques, or for fashion-forward guys who like to wear low-rise jeans. However, remember that no matter how progressive you are when it comes to underwear, keep in mind that the rest of society---both men and women---may be a little slower to catch up.
4
Browse your favorite store or men's department for styles that appeal to you. Maybe a sleek pair of boxer briefs have caught your eye, or you want to try the luxurious sensation of a pair of silk boxers. Underwear isn't just functional anymore---it's part of your individual style and taste. Feel the fabric. Look for patterns and colors that speak to you.
5
Think about cost per wear when buying undergarments.
Think about cost per wear. Spending $80 for a pair of luxurious silk underwear won't be a good investment if you only wear them once a year. However, when you pay $45 for a pack of durable, sleek boxer briefs in flattering colors, they might see daily use, therefore cutting your cost per wear down to pennies.
