How to Buy Underwear For the men in your life
Guide to buying underwear for the men
Let’s be honest – men usually hate buying their own underwear. That’s exactly why, for women, buying undies for their men is often based on a desperate need rather than on luxury. So, if you want to surprise your darling and get him new underwear, just keep on reading and take notes. Here are four useful tips on how to get it done like a true pro, so check them out!
Yes, size really mattersWe’re aware of the fact that this sounds a bit naughty and probably quite ambiguous, but you know what? Size definitely matters a lot – especially when it comes to the size of your man’s underwear! In
fact, we can freely say that the majority of underwear problems actually happen because he’s wearing either too small or too large underwear. Even though most manufacturers make standard waist sizes, the rest of the fitting can vary greatly from one brand to another, which is why knowing the brand he loves is a good start. Generally, small waistlines fit waistline measurements of between 32 to 34 inches, medium 34 to 36 inches, and large 36 to 38 inches. One thing is certain – his underwear needs to fit like a glove, so make sure you find the right pair! As well as the fabricSimilarly to women’s underwear, men’s undies also come in a variety of fabrics. However, some of the most popular ones are cotton, bamboo, nylon, and silk, and you won’t make a mistake whichever you choose. As for cotton, it’s undoubtedly the most common material for underwear. It’s quite soft and comfortable yet so flexible at the same time, which is why men love it so much. Cotton can sometimes be weaved with elastane, just like Walking Jack has in their collection, to improve its durability. On the other hand, nylon is a synthetic material famous for durability and elasticity.
The best thing about it is the fact that it’s a cheaper version of silk, which is far more expensive and luxurious. If your man is environmentally conscious, a pair of eco-friendly bamboo undies with antibacterial properties is never a bad choice. These will keep him fresh and comfy all day and night, and you should know that this fabric is great for guys who have sensitive skin. Color is Quite Important, tooYes, we know that this probably sounds ridiculous, but guess what? The color of your darling’s underwear is quite important as well, so bear that in mind the next time you go shopping. Solid white is, obviously, the most popular underwear color among men of all ages, but you should probably stay away from it. This is particularly true because white fabrics tend to lose their original intensity after a few washes when they become either light grey or beige. In order to keep his undies fresh and clean for as long as possible, make sure to pick darker colors such as black, navy, or dark grey. On the other hand, lighter shades are still a must during warm months, when your man will be wearing light pants.
Do we even have to mention men’s sexy underwear that features colors such as red, yellow, mint, and fiery orange? These are more than welcome, especially if you’re looking forward to a hot date, so surprise him with a brand new pair and have fun together. Trust us when we say that he’ll love it! STyle & Personal PreferanceLast but certainly not least, the preferred underwear style matters a lot, too, so take your man’s personal preferences into consideration and you won’t make a mistake. For example, Tani USA boxers are perfect for guys who don’t love to wear skinny jeans or slim-fit pants. These offer breathability and are much less revealing than other styles, but their main drawback is the fact that they don’t offer enough support. On the other hand, briefs are extremely supportive, and the good news is that they’ve become much sleeker and sexier over the years. These are good for guys with larger thighs, as well as for shorter men who want to appear taller by exposing more leg. There are also boxer briefs, which are the combination of the two, and these combine the length of the boxers with the support of the briefs. Bigger guys absolutely adore these because of the added material that prevents chafing. These are bestsellers for a good reason!
As you can tell, there are a few important things you should bear in mind when picking underwear for your boyfriend or husband. If you want to do it right, all you need to do is to stick to our tips and guidelines and success is guaranteed! |
