How to Buy Mens Underwear that Fits Perfectly

The importance of a good fit from your underwear should not be underestimated - it’s one of the most important items of clothing to get right. If you’ve been ‘making do’ with ill fitting, slightly uncomfortable underwear that has been routinely bought for you by someone else every Christmas and birthday then you need to make a change. If you feel slightly daunted by the huge range of Mens underwear available and are unsure how to get the right fit then check out the top tips below...

•  Explore what options are available in Mens underwear. Many men go along with choices that have been made for them in the past by sticking to what their mum bought for them when they were teenagers or what their partner buys for them now. To find the ideal Mens underwear you have to have a real look at what’s out there and decide what you actually prefer to wear. There are some variations but on the whole there are three basic types of Mens underwear - briefs, boxer briefs and boxer shorts. You don’t have to be confined to one style - in fact it’s often a good idea to choose certain styles for certain occasions and activities.

•  The advantage of a brief is that they fit snugly and provide good support. If you’re looking at purchasing briefs then make sure that you buy them in the same size as the waist of your trousers. If your waist doesn’t fit into an even number, if you have a 37inch waist for example, then go for the next brief size up so a 38inch. Boxer briefs provide a little more flexibility and have a different feel due to the extra leg length - again though, you should make sure that you buy the same size as your waist (if the legs feel a little too tight then go for the next size up). Boxers are all about freedom as opposed to a snug fit such as the above Mens underwear and if you’re purchasing boxer shorts then make sure that you purchase a size higher than your trouser waist size.

•  When purchasing boxers be sure to have a look at how the front slot or opening has been made. You need to make sure that there is plenty of fabric overlapping the slot and that the opening doesn’t extend down to the crotch seam.

•  Make sure that you buy Mens underwear which has been made from a substantial material. Light weight, flimsy material won’t hold its shape for long and you’ll find that your underwear soon loses its form after a few washes - it’s always advisable to go for a higher weight material as they tend to last longer and maintain a good fit.
