When it comes to shopping underwear, we all have trouble choosing the right ones. Although the idea of shopping does not sound like a difficult task, underwear shopping can bring in challenges that you never expected to face when shopping. How to choose items that you are comfortable with? How to get the perfect fit for your body type etc. are some of the questions that you might ask? Take a look at the following tips to figure out how to avoid these challenges on your next shopping trip.
Know Your Body Type
As with a lot of other clothing items, when it comes to choosing underwear too, you need to consider your body type. And this is not just whether you are a fat person or a thin person. So, if you already do not know, before you go on shopping, the first thing to figure out is your body type. For example, the oval shaped body has an overall round silhouette. A triangle shaped body on the other hand, will have a slimmer torso but wider hips. Knowing your shape will help you to pick the perfect fit for you.
Choose a Type of Underwear
Now you have figured out the shape of your body, the next step is to decide which underwear type you would prefer to wear. Mainly there are four types of underwear – briefs which has a snuggle fit, boxers which allows more breathability, boxer briefs, which are fit but also gives enough breathability, and trunks which comes with a slimmer cut. When picking the type, think of where you want to wear them and how comfortable you will be with each type.
Choose the Right Fit
One of the biggest troubles in choosing underwear is that we do not get to try them on all the time as we get to with other items of clothing. This means you have to know the right sizes you want to buy or you will either end up getting underwear that is too small for you or too big for you. If you already know the fit, then you can buy the right size. But if not, check the size of the underwear you already own. If they are either too small or too big for you, you can get one size up for size down depending on your comfort.
Know the Material
Finally, you need to consider about the material of the underwear. Man’s underwear comes in a lot of different material similar to women’s underwear. The most popular of them is cotton. There are also cotton blends, where you will mostly find elastic fibres blended with cotton materials. A new trend in fashion world today is bamboo underwear mens. Made of bamboo fabric, these items are comfortable, breathable and have some other benefits such as being anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and odourless.
Make sure to remember all these tips when you go shopping next time. Remember to buy the items after careful consideration so you can avoid regrets later.
