Are Boxer Shorts Back?


Boxer shorts have taken a backseat (pardon the pun) over the past few years, as trunks and boxer briefs have become by far the most popular underwear of choice for men. I remember back in the 1980s though that boxer shorts were the bestselling underwear, in part due to the Levis advert (the Launderette) featuring Nick Kamen.

I have noticed recently though that the top designer brands such as Calvin Klein and Emporio Armani are offering a wider range of boxer shorts. Calvin Klein has a traditional fit and slim fit boxer. Are men swapping their trunks for boxer shorts again, or is this a case of the fashion houses stimulating demand. I still think that trunks are the way to go, but maybe I’ll give boxer shorts a go again. They definitely are more forgiving of an expanding waistline.
