![]() They alleviate some of the issues big and tall men face with underwear being snug enough, but not everyone likes them for their lack of coverage. While they are functional, they’re not the most stylish, as they usually come in plain colors. This makes them great for everyday active wear, as well as lighter athletic activity. Briefs are known for their flexibility and stretch (assuming they’re made of a quality fabric). Also called Jockeys (for the brand that popularized them), briefs offer maximum support and snugness, but don’t provide much (if any) coverage on the leg. Think of briefs as functioning the opposite way that boxers do. Thus, boxers are best for lounging around the house or more sedentary activities, such as time in the office. They tend to bunch up on the legs or slide down the body, especially for big and tall men. However, their ultra-relaxed fit means they don’t provide a ton of support, making them less than ideal for athletic activities or more form-fitting outfits. They provide full coverage of the pelvis area, and are a great choice for a variety of casual or dressy outfits. You know exactly what you’re getting when you pick up a pair of boxers - a relaxed fit and a blank canvas for color or patterns. Boxersīoxers (also called boxer shorts) are a classic for a reason they’re reliable and versatile. We’ll be sure to differentiate each of the cuts so that you know exactly what you are getting regardless what a brand calls it. For example, one brand’s trunks may be another brand’s boxer briefs.

I like the extra support they provide, but I'm also still very happy with the other pairs I own.Īmir Ismael is an editor for Insider Reviews, Insider's e-commerce branch of the service journalism team. I've never had any complaints about support with Tommy John, but the brand recently released Hammock Pouch underwear that keeps everything where it needs to be. I also appreciate the design of the Quick Draw horizontal fly because it's easy to access, but still secure. The only feasible downside is that you can't wear them with shorts with a particularly short inseam. Along with the great fit, the added length helps keep things in place so you're not uncomfortable throughout the day. We've all had to do that awkward underwear adjustment through our jeans or the brazen reach up our shorts to pull down our underwear legs, but with Tommy John, I haven't had to do that. It was a bit weird visually and it took a few minutes to get used to having material that far down my leg, but I came to appreciate the length almost immediately. The very first time I put on a pair of Tommy John Boxer Briefs, I couldn't help but notice they were substantially longer than other boxers. ![]()
