Underwear Answers: What to Wear Under White Pants

A question that I am often asked during the summertime is what to wear under white pants to avoid visible lines. Personally, the only white pants that I have are white jeans so it's never really an issue for me as they are not see through. Today, I was asked the question again on Formspring. If you haven't checked out my Formspring yet, it's a great place to ask me questions about everything underwear.

Below is the question along with my answer:

I have some white pants and I'm looking for some flesh-tone boxer-briefs to wear under them (I'm a white guy). Any advice where these can be found? Do they even make them?? I'm having no luck!

Sloggi Trunks from the front.

It is a common misconception that one must wear flesh/nude colored underwear with white pants. This is not necessarily required. It depends on how tight the pants/shorts are. If they aren't too transparent you can get away with wearing other things.

Jameswinston Co. used to make some great flesh colored underwear, unfortunately the company is no longer in business so I'm not sure what their selection will be like. You might be able to find some remainders at other sites.

The key to underwear with white pants/shorts is actually the cut of the underwear, not the color. As long as you wear something that has a longer silhouette than the tight part of the pants (aka the butt) you should be fine. So I would recommend wearing boxerbriefs or trunks with your white pants (as you suggested). I personally tend to wear just a simple white boxerbrief (preferably with no seams on the butt). This makes it so that there are no "panty lines" since the only seams are lower on the thigh and therefore past where they are visible through the pants.

Depending on the thickness of the pants you may be able to get away with some other colors besides white. Do some experimenting (at home with a trusty mirror or friend) and see what it looks like.

Now if you're still set on wearing flesh colored underwear, Sloggi has a great selection of flesh colored underwear that you can find at DGU. It comes in both trunk and brief styles. The trunk is perfect for this purpose as it does not have any seams on the rear.

Also HOM makes a great flesh-colored trunk which might also be of interest to you.

As I said, however, you are not strictly limited to flesh colored underwear when wearing white pants. It really depends on the tightness of the pants and their transparency/thickness. Do some experimentation to see what works best with your white pants. Good luck!

Björn Borg at Mensunderwear.nl

I have two great new things to tell you about today. The first is fantastic new underwear store that is based in the Netherlands. It is mensunderwear.nl. They offer lots of great brands, including: 2(x)ist, Body Art, Bruno Banani, Calvin Klein, Chevignon, DIM, HOM, Unico, Nikos A., Punto Blanco, Schlesser, Sloggi, and Björn Borg. Out of all of these I am possibly most intrigued by the Björn Borg. I have never actually seen this brand anywhere else, which is probably why it intrigues me the most. It is a really fun and great brand. In the photo you can see the Björn Borg new style boxer. This boxer is really fun and comes in a lot of fun colors and print varieties. I really like the whole Björn Borg collection that is available at Mensunderwear.nl, so check it out now.

New Buying Resource: DeadGoodUndies

DeadGoodUndies is a new underwear buying site. It is launched by the same website and undies expert, Adam Davies, who created JustHom. The reason this site was created is because in the very first year of running JustHom it was clear that they could not contain their business to just one brand, but due to the branding issues, they could not simply add more brands to the JustHom site. Thus DeadGoodUndies, or DGU, was created. For those of you who are not familiar with British English, "dead good " means "very good". Some of the brands that DGU offers that they could not offer on JustHom include: Impetus, Strellson, Sloggi for Men, Bruno Banani, Mey, Jameswinston Co., and of course HOM. They have carefully choosen which particular styles of underwear they stock from all these brands, and they truly have choosen the best of each of them. Also, in the development of DGU, Adam and company came up with a lot of great new features as well as ways to implement some of the great features already offered at JustHom. They really made a concerted effort to make their site as user friendly as possible. They continued the loyalty point system that allows you to collect points from your purchases which can then be used towards discounts on future purchases. Their improvements include: bigger and clearer (than JustHom) photos so it is easier to tell what you are buying; easier search functionality through the use of filters; "show me everything" buttons; and shopping by price. Also, just a side note, keep in mind that JustHom and DeadGoodUndies are completely separate companies that are simply founded by some of the same people. So be sure to add DeadGoodUndies to your list of underwear shops (I've added it to mine), it's definitely worth a click. If you want to learn more about them, check out their about us page.
