How to Buy Underwear for Him

It's not always easy knowing what to buy your husband, boyfriend, partner or fiancé when it comes to a special occasion such as Christmas, Birthdays and Father's Day. Do you buy him something gimmicky, or something you're not sure he's going to use, or do you buy him something that is both fashionable and functional and you know he's going to wear it? 

We, at Knicker Locker, believe buying presents for him doesn't have to be difficult and it all starts with what's underneath. His underwear! 

Men are creatures of habit, and they also have their favourite underwear that they wear ALL the time. Underwear is not something that men always invest in and buy on a regular basis. They wear their underwear until it has holes in, or the elastic waistband has stretched! That's why buying underwear for a gift for him is a great idea, if you get the size and style right. 

Read here about our top 5 tips on getting a great underwear gift for him.

 

1. Underwear Size

Underwear sizes vary from brand to brand, so it's worth checking his underwear drawer to make sure of his size. Take note of the underwear he wears the most and what size they are. (You may already know this off by heart!) Some underwear brands use Small, Medium, Large and XL, whilst others may use the waist measurement 32, 34, 36, and 38.

2. Underwear Style 

There are a few men's underwear styles available, so it's good to know if he prefers briefs, trunks or boxer shorts. He may like them all. Take a look at our mens underwear guide to look at all the different underwear styles available. The most popular style for a man to wear is the boxer short that offers a fitted and supportive shape. You can see this shape used in popular underwear brands like Pullin Underwear and Waxx Underwear
