Style wise, briefs are probably the least appealing type of undergarment to wear. Fruit of the Loom briefs were probably viewed as stylish by trendsetters in the 1960's, but in today's fashion world, they are seen as very plain and unfashionable. It is kind of ridiculous to judge how fashionable underwear is, especially since only a minority of people actually see this article of clothing. These days though, a man will spend time on such detail, especially when he has an important date or when he knows that an extracurricular activity is going to take place. Briefs are old-fashioned, thereby, they are practical and more comfortable than loose boxer shorts.
Briefs offer great support to the genital area.
It is therefore wise to suit them up when training, or when your job requires long sitting-down periods. If someone is sitting in front of a computer all day, chances are briefs will be more comfortable, as they mold the buttocks and remain in place throughout the entire day. On the other hand, many of us complain that briefs are too tight and that they do not allow for proper blood circulation. Since everybody is shaped differently, the elastic bands on briefs might be too tight on the thighs or on the waist for some, therefore diminishing the briefs' comfort level. For those who wouldn't change their briefs for a pair of fashionable tight boxers, it is worth paying slightly more for designer briefs.
