Men's Sheer Black Tulle Trunks - Eros

Sheer, the chic way

Some lingerie shouts and some whispers. The Eros trunks by Anaïs for Men belong to the second kind: a fine, sheer black tulle, a close-fitting mini boxer cut, a wide black waistband stamped with the ANAIS logo and the brand's lion heads. Nothing more. And it's precisely that stripped-back look that makes it so sexy.

On the skin, the tulle acts as a filter. Hips, upper thighs and above all the butt show through the black veil without being completely naked. Your partner sees everything, but through something, and that's often more unsettling than nudity.

Anaïs for Men, a Polish brand of men's lingerie made in Europe, designed the Eros as a piece you feel good in: you put it on to please yourself as much as to please others.

Its strong points

A soft, stretchy tulle. Fine and supple, it adapts to your body instead of constraining it. You forget you're wearing it, until someone reminds you.

Seams that work for you. At the back, a centre seam separates and highlights the cheeks, a V-shaped seam lifts them from underneath; at the front, the pouch is contoured by a vertical seam. They give structure to the tulle and draw the eye to the key areas.

A more covering front pouch. Denser than the sides, it gathers and shows off while keeping some mystery where it counts.

A signature waistband. The wide elastic band holds the trunks in place and shows off the lion heads, the brand's emblem, just above the sheer fabric.

A black that goes with everything. Under raw denim, a suit or nothing at all, black never goes out of style and flatters every skin tone.

What it shows off

Your butt, sculpted by the seams. The trunks fully cover the cheeks, but the tulle lets them show and the seams outline them. Seen from behind, the effect is downright flattering.

Your bulge, highlighted without being vulgar. The contoured pouch lifts slightly and focuses the gaze.

Your thighs and hips. The short cut stops at the top of the thigh: your legs look longer and your hips show through the veil.

How to wear it

• For a one-on-one: it's the ideal piece for a slow undressing, under a half-open white shirt.
• As a first sheer piece: if you've never dared, the trunks cover more than a brief or a thong and are reassuring.
• Every day: thin and light, it doesn't show under pants.
• At the club or the sauna: with a black harness, the tulle and leather duo works every time.
• Alternating with the Eros brief: same tulle, different cut, to vary the pleasures.

Sex appeal and confidence

Tulle has this particular power to make the body desirable without exposing it bluntly. You stay dressed, and yet everything is there. It's comfortable for the wearer, who keeps a sense of modesty, and terribly effective for whoever's looking. Plenty of guys who don't like being naked find with this kind of piece that they like being watched.

Care

• Hand wash in cold water if possible, or machine wash at 30 °C in a laundry bag.
• No fabric softener, no bleach, no wringing by twisting: fine tulle is delicate.
• Dry flat, with no tumble dryer or iron.
• Take off rings and bracelets before putting them on to avoid snags.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: Are the Eros trunks really see-through?

A: Yes. The tulle lets skin show on the hips, thighs and butt. The front pouch is more covering than the rest, but the whole piece is clearly sheer lingerie.

Q: Trunks or boxer briefs, what's the difference?

A: Trunks are boxers with very short legs: they stop at the top of the thigh and sit lower on the hips. They show more leg and hug the butt better.

Q: Which sizes are available?

A: The Eros trunks come in XXL and XXXL. The tulle is stretchy: if you're unsure, go for the bigger size for comfort, the smaller for the second-skin effect.

Q: Are they comfortable for the day?

A: Yes: the tulle is soft, light and stretchy, and the wide waistband holds without squeezing. You forget you're wearing them under your clothes.
