Underwear Makes New History as Fashion Must-Haves for Men

Boxers and briefs were fashioned for utilitarian use to be hidden from sight. Add to that the standard white tee, placed under the dress shirt, and the socks to match the trousers or shoes. These are the undergarment basics that were designed for men’s fashion comfort but were never supposed to see the limelight. Eventually, the underwear of yesterday grew into trendy outerwear fashion of today. I’m a pretty fashionable guy, but when it came to selecting undergarments, I didn’t put…

A body-positive blogger posted an underwear photo as a reminder that even half-naked women are worthy of respect
Megan Crabbe, better known by her Instagram @bodyposipanda, is certainly no stranger for setting haters and body shamers straight with her bikini photos, dancing videos and her empowering transformation story.

In response, Crabbe posted an Instagram attacking just that. The caption included a series of…

It’s Officially Cool to Tuck Your Shirt in Your Underwear
Some call it sexy, others deem it trashy, but exposing your underwear is a long-standing trend.

More recently, fashion has favored a little side-boob action (see Bella and Kendall), but the latest way to showcase your delicates is by no means seductive; instead, it feels embarrassingly accidental. Love it or hate it, tucking a tee into your underwear is officially a thing. No doubt you’re picturing a schoolyard dork with his shirt haphazardly pushed into…

While there are definitely some benefits to going underwear-less, there are times where you shouldn’t go commando, as it could end up negatively affecting your vaginal health.

If they knew long before they were going to have the procedure, they worried over the type of incision their doctor would use. If they had an emergency cesarean,…

The Economy and Underwear Sales: The Connected Link
The economy is a tricky business-tracking it, dealing with it, loving it, hating it-it’s always out of reach of us. Well, not as far out of reach as you may have once thought.
