Boxers or Briefs?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

We all have our different underwear needs…some ladies needs apparently include having underwear purposefully fitted to go up their butt. Luckily, you are guys and (most of) you don’t have to worry about thongs…

There is though, and perhaps will always be, the question of boxers or briefs. There is not a right answer to this and is different for everyone. But you should consider a few factors before making boxer or brief purchases:
1. What will you be wearing over your underwear? If you’re wearing tighter fitting pants, you should think about closer fit boxers or briefs. You don’t want boxers to bunch and twist.
2. Will you be moving around or walking a lot? We all hate to think about it, and I’m blushing, but chafing is the worst. Consider briefs (and potentially some body glide for LOTS of movement) for these situations.
3. Will you be taking you pants off? Who’s going to see your undies?? Is it a girl or your doctor; I bet you’ll change depending on the answer.
4. Do you want solid or patterns? A more conservative man might wear solids only, but since they’re usually hidden, you can get away with a little fun underneath (unless your hot boss has x-ray vision glasses that sometimes see bones and sometimes see clothes).

I tend to like a lot of underwear from GAP,as far as fit, style and affordability, and have heard good reviews (all $12.50-14.50; click on the images to purchase):





Don’t forget to ALWAYS wash your underwear on the first wear…no cheating. This will prevent lots of things too gross to mention here, so just do it.

Undershirts: DON’T!

Monday, July 20th, 2009

While spending some time on the streets looking for the smartly dressed gentlemen of the city of Minneapolis last week, I noticed quickly that there are few in the city to be found–although to be fair, it was cold and rainy–but when did that stop the MN men from anything?!

Something I DID see a lot (read: altogether too much) of is a regular LKc Style NO-NO: the white undershirt visible under the button down (as shown by this wine-swilling dork below).

The undershirt is just that: an UNDER shirt. Don’t misunderstand me–you should be wearing undershirts, especially if you’re of the sweaty-man variety…BUT we don’t want to see it on your neckline or, worse, through the button down shirt. Would you walk around with your underwear hanging out?!?! OK, some of you do…but that’s for another post.

If you have problems with a showing undershirt, consider buttoning another button up or find shirts where the 2nd to top button is just below the clavicle (that goofy bone at the base of your neck), OR purchase undershirts with a V-neck.
