Grey Check Print Boxer Briefs for Men - Aegis

The check boxer briefs with character

The Aegis boxer briefs from Anaïs for Men, a European men's underwear brand, start from a basic and give it real personality. The soft fabric is printed with grey rectangles with green glints, in different shades, forming a check pattern like a reworked tartan. Nothing flashy: it's elegant, masculine, and a change from the plain black boxers everyone has in their drawer.

The cut is that of close-fitting boxer briefs: the leg covers the top of your thighs and the front is structured by a contoured pouch with a centre seam that shows off your bulge instead of squashing it. Above, a wide black elastic waistband carries the ANAIS logo and lion heads: the brand's signature, and the detail that peeks out nicely over low-rise jeans.

Its strong points

A print that stands out. The checks play on several shades of grey, with a hint of green depending on the light. From a distance it's understated; up close there's texture and depth. The kind of detail people notice when your jeans come down.

A waistband that stays put. Wide and elastic, it keeps the boxer briefs firmly in place, whether you spend the day sitting at a desk or the evening gets a lot more eventful.

A pouch that contours. The centre seam gives the front volume and hold. Everything is supported and presented, and that's the whole difference between boxer briefs that flatter and boxer briefs that flatten.

A soft fabric that moves with you. With 20% elastane, the material stretches and springs back into place. It hugs your thighs and your butt like a second skin, without squeezing.

The most covering cut in the range. Compared with the Aegis trunks and jockstrap, the boxer briefs are the ones that cover the most: ideal if you want everyday sexy without exposing anything.

What it shows off

Your thighs, first. The leg stops at the top of the thigh and highlights the muscle, especially if you never skip leg day. Your bulge, next: the contoured pouch draws a clean, flattering bulge, without being vulgar. Your butt, finally: the stretch fabric hugs and rounds it, and the checks follow its curve.

These are the boxer briefs you put on to feel good about yourself, even on a Monday morning. And real sex appeal is often just that: the confidence you have when you undress in front of a guy.

How to wear them

Every day, under jeans or chinos: they're soft, comfortable, and the branded black waistband peeking out adds a touch of sportswear.

On a date, these are the boxer briefs that make a good impression when the trousers come off: clean, smart, with just the right amount of character.

At home, with a white T-shirt or nothing at all. For a matching look, pair them with the Aegis T-shirt in the same print.

In photos, the check pattern and the contrast with the black waistband look great, on a light background as well as a dark one.

Choosing the right size and putting them on

• Size: these boxer briefs are available in 3XL. Compare with a pair you already wear and that fits you well.
• Stretch fabric: with 20% elastane, the fabric hugs the body and follows your movements without squeezing you.
• Positioning: settle your bulge right in the centre of the pouch to get the full contour.
• Waistband: wear it flat on your hips, logo at the front, without folding it over.

Care

Gentle wash at low temperature. By hand or in the machine on a delicate cycle, ideally in a laundry bag: the print keeps its shades and the elastane keeps its spring.

No tumble dryer. Heat wears out the elastic fibres, starting with the ones in the waistband. Let it dry flat or on a drying rack, away from direct sunlight.

No bleach and no fabric softener, which dull the greys and end up loosening the fabric. Don't iron the waistband and its logo.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: What's the difference between the Aegis boxer briefs and trunks?

A: Same fabric, same print, same waistband. The boxer briefs have a longer leg that covers the top of the thighs; the trunks are cut shorter and show more thigh, which puts more emphasis on the butt.

Q: Is the fabric see-through?

A: No, the printed fabric is opaque. The Aegis boxer briefs play on cut and pattern, not on transparency: you can wear them anywhere.

Q: Is it grey or green?

A: Grey first and foremost: rectangles in several shades of grey, with glints that lean green depending on the light.

Q: Which sizes are available?

A: In the shop, the Aegis boxer briefs are available in 3XL. The range exists in other sizes at the manufacturer: if you're looking for another one, write to us.

Q: Can I wear them every day?

A: Yes, that's the brand's idea: boxer briefs for everyday as well as for more intense moments. The soft fabric and wide waistband make them comfortable from morning to night.
