How to find the best boxers and briefs

Boxers may be hidden under your clothes, but that doesn’t mean you should skimp when investing in them. After all, if they’re a poor fit, they can bunch up under your trousers or worse, leave you feeling uncomfortable all day. And what’s more, since the material sits against your skin, it’s important to choose the best fabrics for the job.

But what to look for when buying boxers and briefs? When it comes to finding more sustainable ones, choose materials like organic cotton, hemp, and TENCEL Lyocell over synthetics. They’re much softer and more breathable than the likes of polyester or nylon, not to mention better for people, the planet, and animals. Other elements to look out for are quality manufacturing—there should be no loose or uneven stitching, the elasticated waistband should be attached securely, and seams shouldn’t be bulky or scratchy. Keep an eye on the buttons on boxer shorts, too—some iterations from high-end brands are made from mother-of-pearl, which isn’t vegan.

With that then, scroll down to see our round-up of more sustainable boxers and briefs from “Good” and “Great”-rated brands.
