If ever there was a time to invest in better underwear, it's under stay-at-home orders. From silk boxers to budget-friendly briefs that aren't short on style, POPSUGAR has got you covered with the 25 best pairs of men's underwear to buy online right now — overwear optional.
Inspired by a '70s model for briefs developed by the Swedish Army, the Ron Dorff Y-Front Briefs ($36) are effortlessly cool.
Tapered just enough, the Ron Dorff Striped Boxer Shorts ($50) speak for themselves: no logo, no frills.
No better time than now for the ultrasoft home short of the early '80s to make a comeback, and the Ron Dorff Home Shorts in Khaki ($55) aim to please with 100 percent fine cotton jersey.
Skull & Bones makes a damn good pair of upmarket, everyday underwear, and the Just the Bones Boxer Brief in Navy ($32) is no exception.
Like its hi-res cotton-candy artwork, the Skull & Bones Cotton Candy Trunk ($28) is so suave, it bears repeating.
Made of 100 percent cotton, the Polo Ralph Lauren Bandanna-Print Cotton Boxer ($28) is lightweight for summer and butt-ery soft. (See what we did there?)
Nothing if not classic, the Calvin Klein Cotton Classic Fit 4-Pack Hip Brief ($30 for a pack of four, originally $43) is an easy option for everyday wear and in a silhouette that's instantly recognizable.
Sold in partnership with The Underwear Expert, the Diesel Fresh & Bright Brief in Blue ($24) lives up to its name with a thick trademark waistband and silky-smooth hand-feel.
For a cut this good, there's no better value for money than a 2(X)IST Essential Cotton Contour Pouch Brief 3-Pack ($13 for a pack of three, originally $32).
Charlie by Matthew Zink doesn't shy away from daring designs in its classic silhouettes, and neither should you. Meet the sexy Muscle Brief in Python ($68).
We appreciate nudes done right (read: inclusively), and the Charlie Wood Collection does just that. Available in classic cuts to your taste, the low-rise Bikini Brief ($48) ranges from Mahogany (pictured) to Bamboo.
Buck up in the luxuriously soft Charlie by Matthew Zink Classic Brief in Buck ($52).
If you're going to spend all day at home, do it in Italian melange cotton in the Charlie by Matthew Zink Original Long John in White ($68).
Hailed by Vogue as the best men's underwear in the world, Swedish menswear dynamo CDLP promises its CDLP 3-Pack Boxer Trunk ($79 for a pack of three) is the "softer than silk, smoother than cotton" underwear of your dreams. Made sustainably out of eco-conscious Lyocell, CDLP's naturally antibacterial trunks are quickly becoming the new classic.
Designed to be worn as a single layer, CDLP 2-Pack Long Johns ($119) put a new spin on the Scandinavian classic with a better cut, breathability, and range of motion in mind.
With a hidden single-button fly and playful new patterns, J.Crew's new gen of boxers live up to their "unmentionables worth mentioning" tagline at an unbeatable price point, and that goes for these J.Crew Boxers in Nautical Print ($20).
Cut close to the body with clean lines, the Emporio Armani Pack of 3 Briefs With Side Logo ($56 for a pack of three) skip the flashy branding and employ a low-rise, contoured pouch to cradle and cushion you down south.
Patrick Church is an artist we love, and his latest underwear collection has blown up on Instagram since POPSUGAR sat down with the designer in February. As with all his clothes, the Patrick Church "Stars" Printed Underwear ($50) is meant to excite.
We wouldn't expect anything less from Tom Ford than boxers that ooze sex appeal, and his Italian-made Swirl Silk Boxers ($295) fit the bill, velvet waistband and all. Simply said, they're the best a man can buy.
