The main difference is fit. Whilst boxer briefs are typically very snug, boxer shorts are much looser – and, as a result, are often deemed the comfiest type of men’s underwear.
Designed like a pair of shorts, they feature an elasticated waistband and offer ample space for movement. The leg section can be relaxed and freeing; or, it can be tailored slightly to add style and support - this is the type we offer, here at Tokyo Laundry. All of our men’s boxers are flattering yet comfy, shaped yet breathable, and they can be paired with any type of jeans or trouser.
