Polo Ralph Lauren Nike Ex Officio Big & Tall Underwear

We know buying underwear isn't at the top of your "get it done today" list, but maybe it should be. After all, didn't your mother ever tell you to always wear clean underwear? She was right! If your underwear collection is over six months old (and we know it is), you should replace it all immediately, enough said. Men’s underwear comes in many cuts, styles, colors, and materials. There’s something for every body type and occasion – whether you want everyday support, extra support for a workout, or something sexy to wear for a significant other.

Regular vs. Activewear

There's a difference between regular underwear and activewear. Not only will you look silly wearing a regular T-Shirt for a workout, but you'll also be giving up the technical benefits of today's high-performance fabrics. Furthermore, a pair of briefs is not the same as an athletic supporter. Real activewear is a workout-trendy, technically savvy choice for the gym.

Boxers vs. Briefs

The age-old question in the world of men’s underwear is “boxers or briefs?”. We don't pretend to know the answer to that question. What we do know is that women seem to be fascinated by the controversy, and that in the end it's really about the difference between "freedom" and "support." Boxers are a little more versatile. In boxers, you could retrieve the morning newspaper without raising too many eyebrows. But don't try that in a pair of briefs. Those are a little too tight fitting to wear even to the end of the driveway. Boxer briefs are the best of both worlds – they have a traditional elastic waist with a longer leg.
