Brightening Up Men's Underwear

By Amy Swann


Shining bright this summer, underwear is seeing the lighter side of life in men's designer fashion. With patterns and hues that don't want be contained, men's fashion undergarments are making fun statements as they fully take advantage of the season's trend of high colour.

Men's underpants are seeing an array of playful patterns through a variety of brands and attached to more snug and masculine styles. On trunks, florals sit surprisingly comfortably with the vibrant designs of Bjrn Borg, Calvin Klein and Replay with polka dots from Oiler & Boiler or the multi-coloured stripes of Ted Baker, Superdry and Tommy Hilfiger's Armin or Alfred styles. Trunks are also sporting logo detailing from Joe Rivetto, the must-have season trend of colour-blocking from Gigo, the military fashion upheld from G-Star's Duty Camo trunk and one-colour from Polo by Ralph Lauren, Boss Black and Dior Homme. More retro patterns adorning trunks come from River Island's Pacman themes, Bruno Banani's disco-inspired Quasar or the 50's style Hawaii palms, musical notes and stars of Luis & Juke's Stevie range.

Keeping it brief, this popular compact style has further increased its comfort with new designs alongside its heightening its colour with the bright one-tones of American Apparel's Baby Rib Brief range or Emporio Armani's solid stretch cotton briefs and D&G's Preppy Contrast collection. Different takes on this classic mode come in paisley print from Alexander McQueen, Sloggi's Logic Print with horizontal fly, multi-coloured stripe on the lower-set hip briefs from Calvin Klein and Candy brief from Gigo. More relaxed fits look to mid thigh Boxer Shorts in more muted tones, such as subtle pinks from Universal Works or pastel blues from Banana Republic's Windowpane boxer. While Sunspel's striped blue or red Boxer Shorts fully support the nautical trend in men's fashion, along with Tallissime, Thomas Pink's Rivington range and Gap.

Go a little lower and your feet can also take advantage of the season's love of brights, ankle warmers embrace the colour explosion along with other sock designers. Paul Smith uses multi-coloured sassy stripes as well as other colour gurus Gant, Jack & Jones and Gene Meyer, diamond print is popular in designs by Burlington, Pringle and J Crew. For graphic design lovers there are styles to suit with Ashi Dashi using hot dogs, eyeballs and kaleidoscope-inspired prisms, or dotty with giant circles, flowers, carnival-esque prints and argyle by Duchamp; for logical lovers geometric shapes are making a fashionable appearances thanks to Ayame, Humor, De Pio and Dore Dore.

Bold and bright socks come from Falke, Emporio Armani and TopMan or go for colour clashing with Charles Tyrwhitt, Richard James, Lyle & Scott and Original Penguin with extra pocket-detail adorning it. Always a favourite, the aptly-named Happy Socks are sure to brighten your day with their range of neon-bright socks.
