For the longest time, there had always been the debate of whether a man was a boxer guy or more of a fan of briefs. Then came boxer briefs, and we finally had an option that fit the best of both worlds. Boxer briefs afford the luxury of a non-restraining fit while also providing additional support in areas where you want it. When picking the right boxer briefs a good number solely look first to comfort and material, which definitely is essential when purchasing a new pair of underwear, but nowadays you don’t have to sacrifice style, either. Fortunately, we’ve found some of the best boxer briefs for men in 2023, with all selections from our favorite clothing brands which guarantee maximum all-day comfort, especially once the temperatures begin to rise during the middle of summer.

Calvin Klein 1996 Micro Boxer Brief

It only seems fitting to start off any underwear or boxer brief list by featuring the brand that re-defined the category with its advertising campaigns during the 80s, and more importantly, its iconic ads of the 90s. That brand is none other than Calvin Klein (namely the “Marky” Mark Wahlberg ad). Their throwback to that era, this version titled the 1996 micro boxer brief brings homage back to the glory of those years with a just as fitting and comfy pair, today.

MDRNST Ombré Stripe Boxer Brief

Recently launched Mdrnst is designed by the team behind the Gravity Blanket in collaboration with famed menswear designer and artist-illustrator Ron Chereskin. These briefs are 1.5 inches shorter than a standard boxer brief, which prevents “bunching up” while wearing but are designed longer than a standard brief which tends to ride up. The pouch is designed to be roomy but also to offer support with a delicately extended inseam, further adding a level of comfort.

TAG Heuer just brought back its best Japanese racing collab
Watch, Dial, Logo

TAG Heuer just announced the second Carrera collaboration with Team Ikuzawa and Bamford Watch Department, three years after their first one together — and this time, they went back to a stopwatch.

The watch is built on TAG Heuer’s 39mm Carrera Glassbox, the modern take on the original 1963 Carrera that swaps a bezel for a highly domed sapphire crystal. But the design here pulls specifically from the Heuer Roadmaster, a vintage timing stopwatch Team Ikuzawa used trackside through the ’70s and ’80s, not from any particular car or race.
