What the AI looks for in Men's Boxer Shorts
- Woven vs knit
- Woven cotton for a classic airy fit, knit for a softer and more drapey feel This choice changes the feel and how much the boxer bunches under trousers.
- Fly
- A button fly or overlapping fly that stays closed Cheap open flies gape and look sloppy.
- Waistband
- A covered waistband or soft elastic, not thin bare elastic With no leg grip, the waistband is the only thing holding boxers up, and thin elastic stretches out fast.
- Seat seam
- A seamless seat or a back-yoke design A center-back seam rubs when you sit for long periods.
Brands that matter
- Hanes: Budget woven and knit packs.
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Better-made woven boxers.
- Jockey: Woven and knit boxers in classic fits.
- Fruit of the Loom: The cheapest knit boxer packs.
What to avoid
- Polyester-heavy woven boxers, which trap heat.
- Boxers with no fly closure.
