Men's briefs: current models and tips for choosing
Men's underwear (such as briefs) is essential for both comfort and health. It is necessary to select the correct size and model in accordance with the characteristics of the figure. Recently, briefs are in the greatest demand among the representatives of the stronger sex. This is not surprising, given all the features and variety of such models.
History
The first briefs came from Coopers, Inc. It was she who introduced these underpants on store shelves in early 1935. The American manufacturer chose Chicago as the venue for the presentation. Later this model became known all over the world.
It is worth noting that until the 70s of the last century, the type of swimming trunks was unchanged... However, men began to like them even more after they were shortened a little. In the updated version, they fit even better with narrow jeans. Europeans greeted the low-waisted men's briefs with special delight.
In the mid-80s of the XX century, the demand for this type of panties decreased significantly. This is due to the increased popularity of boxer-type underwear.
Peculiarities
Men's briefs are actually shorts, only very shortened. Most of the models are made from materials such as knitwear. The main advantage of the briefs, which are called briefs, is the increased wearing comfort, as they do not hinder movement. Men feel especially comfortable in such shorts when playing sports and various types of physical activity.
It is worth noting that briefs are summer briefs and are not very suitable for the cold season... According to experts, tight-fitting swimming trunks cannot warm enough at low temperatures. This is especially true when the size of the panties is chosen incorrectly, for example, too small.
What to wear with?
The cropped and close-fitting briefs can be combined with almost any clothing. The low waist allows you to wear jeans, trousers and shorts of various cuts with briefs. Such models of panties for tight-fitting things are especially relevant. Comfortable swimming trunks will be ideal for sportswear. The special cut during strong physical exertion prevents irritation and abrasions. Also, the panties are suitable for those who love classic clothes.
Material
The best material for any men's underpants is cotton. Products made from it are distinguished by their convenience and a variety of colors. Cotton briefs are very pleasant to the touch and exclude allergic reactions. Moreover, this material has a long service life. It should be noted that cotton fabric allows air to circulate freely, which is beneficial for men's health.
Another pleasant and quite popular material is satin. The special weaving of the fibers provides a comfortable smoothness and increased wear resistance of the briefs. The properties of satin combine the advantages of cotton and silk at the same time. The hygroscopic and lightweight material does not interfere with the penetration of air, does not wrinkle, and has a different density.
High demand is also observed for knitted underwear. This material is comfortable, durable, high quality and bright colors. Moreover, all the qualities of knitwear remain unchanged even after numerous washes. A pleasant advantage is the high elasticity of the fabric.
In addition, there are briefs in polyester, viscose silk, lycra, nylon and elastane.
Models
Fashionable briefs come in a variety of colors and patterns.Among the options you can find both classic in one color, and interesting in stripes, checks or with original prints. Also, the briefs may have a different fit. Most often, models with an average fit are presented, but it is worth paying attention to the options with a low or high waist.
The famous brand Calvin Klein decided to experiment and combined briefs with boxers. The result of the experiment in the form of tight shorts was clearly appealing to the men. After all, they combined all the best from these two types of cowards. It should be noted that the models of this manufacturer combine style and quality. Calvin Klein pays special attention to detail. For example, the elastic on the panties is specially made wide to relieve pressure while still providing a snug fit. As a result, the briefs sit well on the body without displacement and do not interfere with movement at all.
Briefs from the manufacturer Tommy hilfiger have a feature in the form of a fly, and even on briefs. The high quality of the models of this brand is evident from how professionally each of the seams is made. At the same time, the underwear has an attractive appearance, and the cut is made flawlessly, taking into account the peculiarities of the male structure.
Brand briefs Armani belong exclusively to the premium class, as evidenced by their highest quality. The manufacturer combines impeccable style with versatility. In the color scheme, preference is given to white, black and dark gray. Most of the drawings are striped.
How to choose?
When choosing underpants, men, first of all, should pay attention to their weight and physique. Many models are presented depending on the height, fullness and other features of body composition.
For example, for tall men who are far from fragile physique, stylists recommend choosing options without vertical or geometric prints, in a single color. For chunky guys with short stature, striped models are great, but too bright colors should be avoided.
Also, when choosing, you should take into account for what time of the year underwear is selected. Of course, the best option for both warm and cold seasons will be cotton panties. On hot days, they will get enough air, and in winter they will not let the cold through too much. For warm seasons, you can also choose satin or silk models.
For cold weather, panties made of the finest wool are ideal. Recently, camel wool options have been especially popular. These briefs let in enough air to keep the skin from sweating, while retaining heat.
Also, warm models are obtained from knitwear. Wherein experts recommend choosing not pure knitwear, but with the addition of elastane, which makes the underwear more comfortable in terms of fit to the body.
When engaging in an active life with a lot of physical activity, you should choose panties especially carefully. It is important that during the movements all the most valuable things are fixed, not sweating or rubbing.
Briefs that perfectly follow the silhouette allow you to feel the maximum comfort during active movements. In this case, not a single fold should form.
Also, tight-fitting panties should be chosen for skinny pants or jeans.... Moreover, they should sit firmly on the body, but not squeeze anything. For such cases, you can choose mini models. This is especially true for tight, low-waisted trousers. Of course, before you go to the store, you need to measure the following parameters:
- waist circumference;
- hip girth.
For measurements, you need a centimeter tape. The waist circumference is measured at the place where the elastic from the panties usually goes. As a rule, this is either the thinnest place on the body or slightly below it. When measuring the girth of the buttocks, it is important that the tape passes through the most prominent part.Removal of all the necessary parameters should be carried out while standing, without drawing in the stomach. It is advisable to feel relaxed at the same time. Knowing your size, you can look at a special table of men's underwear. As a rule, in such tables, the size is determined by the circumference of the waist and hips, as well as by digital and letter men's sizes.
