Whatever the occasion underwear is a fantastic gift that some people are always incredibly thankful for. Socks are a key example of a present which is always perfect, especially if they are incredibly comfy, as it is my long held belief that putting on a brand new fresh pair of socks is one of the greatest feelings on earth.

Socks and underwear are a hot favourite present come Christmas time, usually by fathers to their sons as a stocking filler. Boxers shorts, briefs and lingerie are also top presents, perfect for any occasion or recipient.
If you have a husband or boyfriend and their birthday is soon coming up, you can do far worse than offer them new underwear as a present. Here are some great underwear ideas for your male partner.
Consider designer brands
Many men love to shop for bargain basement underwear. After all, they are only going to be seen by just one woman, right? Top designer brands of men’s underwear include Calvin Klein, Jockey, Beverly Hills Polo Club, Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss, Emporio Armani, Pringle and Diesel. All of these brands will be well known by your man, no matter what walk of life he is from.
Here is an overview of the different common types of men’s underwear:
Trunks
Men’s trunks are a tight fitting form of underwear that cover the upper region of the thigh and genital area. They are available from almost every underwear brand in the world, and it is always the waistband which features that designer logo, shown off by low fitting trousers.
Boxer shorts
Boxer shorts are like trunks however they cover the thigh more, making them better for wear during the winter months. Whilst trunks are tight fitting and show off a man’s thighs, boxer shorts tend to conceal them. Boxer shorts can be tight fitting or baggy, depending on their line and brand.
Briefs
Briefs are a classic form of men’s underwear, however their name doesn’t actually refer to one design. Briefs are most commonly associated with the word ‘underpants’ which cover the genital area of a man only. They can also cover the very top of the thigh, too. In recent years briefs have become less fashionable.
Some underwear ideas
Here are a few underwear ideas for your partner:
Armani Black & Orange Trunks
These low fitting trunks are a design classic from Armani – they feature a large orange Armani logo on the thick waistband and come in a fashionable black and orange colour scheme. These are semi-tight fitting and look extremely comfortable.
