Grey Check Print Trunks for Men - Aegis

The trunks that show you've got legs, and a butt

The Aegis trunks from Anaïs for Men keep everything that makes the range appealing: a soft fabric printed with grey rectangles with green glints, in different shades, and a wide black elastic waistband with the ANAIS logo and lion heads. But they put them to work in a shorter, bolder cut than the boxer briefs.

The leg stops very high on the thigh: the trunks sit right between the brief and the boxer briefs. They cover like boxer briefs, but they reveal like a brief. At the front, a contoured pouch with a centre seam puts your bulge forward; at the back, the stretch fabric hugs your butt and traces its whole curve.

Its strong points

The most flattering cut for the butt. With its short leg, the trunk frees the top of your thighs and brings the focus back to your butt, which it hugs and rounds. It's the favourite cut of guys who are proud of their curve, or determined to show it off.

A leg that lengthens the silhouette. The high line on the thigh makes your legs look longer: a classic optical effect that works on every body type.

A check print with class. The shades of grey, lifted by a hint of green depending on the light, give a smart, masculine look, far from flashy prints.

A waistband that stays in place. Wide and elastic, it holds the trunks from morning to night, even when you move a lot. And its logo peeks out stylishly over low-rise trousers.

Second-skin comfort. With 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, the material is soft, stretches with you and springs back without losing its shape.

What it shows off

Your butt, first of all: the short cut lets it speak for itself, the stretch fabric contours it and the checks emphasise its volume. Your thighs, bare almost to the groin, look longer and more defined. Your bulge, finally, well held in its contoured pouch, with nothing squashed.

The trunks also have a very particular effect on whoever is looking at you: you look more undressed than in boxer briefs, without really being so. It's the ideal cut for guys who find the brief too tame and the jockstrap too direct.

How to wear them

Under fitted trousers or short shorts: the short leg disappears where longer boxer briefs would peek out.

For a date or a night for two, it's the underwear that makes its mark when the jeans come down, especially from behind.

At the gym, under sports shorts, or at home in relax mode with a T-shirt.

In a full Aegis look, with the Aegis T-shirt in the same print. And to mix things up, alternate with the boxer briefs or the jockstrap from the range.

Choosing the right size and putting them on

• Sizes: the Aegis trunks are available in XXL and 3XL.
• Between two sizes? The smaller one hugs more and shows off the butt even more, the larger one gives more ease for all-day wear.
• Useful tip: compare with a pair of trunks or short boxer briefs that already fit you well.
• Positioning: settle your bulge in the centre of the pouch and leave the waistband flat on your hips.

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: Aegis trunks or boxer briefs, which should I choose?

A: The boxer briefs cover the top of the thighs and are the most enveloping. The trunks are shorter and more cut away: they show the thigh and put the butt much more on display. Same fabric, same print, same waistband.

Q: And compared with a brief?

A: The trunks keep a small leg that covers the top of the thigh and the bottom of the cheeks, where the brief is cut at an angle across the hip. It's a compromise: more covering than a brief, sexier than boxer briefs.

Q: Is the fabric see-through?

A: No, the printed fabric is opaque. All the trunks' sex appeal comes from the cut.

Q: Which sizes are available?

A: The Aegis trunks are available in XXL and 3XL. The fabric contains 20% elastane: it adapts well to the body.
