8 Best Men's Underwear UK 2024 | Calvin Klein, Nike and More

Although Calvin Kleins are popular, the reality is that a lot of men aren't that bothered about branded underwear. We can all agree that quality and comfort are paramount, and when it comes to these two factors, one is hard-pressed to find a company that prioritises this more than John Lewis.

We've opted for their loose boxer shorts, but they also carry a range of boxer briefs if you'd prefer that style. These pants are made from an organic cotton and elastane blend, and come in a variety of sizes. If you want the holy trinity of comfort, quality and value for money, then these will provide! 

Is there a piece of underwear as iconic as the white Calvin Klein trunks? They've been on top of their game for years, and have had everyone from young Mark Whalberg to Justin Beiber model for their ad campaigns. At the forefront of men's underwear, if you're a fashion-conscious gent, then these are going to be your go-to!

The reason these are so popular, other than the celebrity endorsement, is their construction. With a secure pouch and unmatched durability, they won't tear or go threadbare anytime soon. 

There are a couple of features we particularly like about these Hugo Boss Boxer briefs. Firstly, the sides are a little longer, giving you more coverage, and keeping things packed in a little better. Secondly, the set comes in three smart colour combinations.

The blend of materials is what really makes this set an excellent choice, as the elastane will allow for a good amount of flexibility. When it comes to luxury brands, Hugo Boss is a pretty decent name to be wearing. 

These are the only set of underwear in our ranking geared specifically towards sport. Nike's boxer briefs are made of microfibre (polyester), which is frequently used in athletics wear due to its moisture-wicking qualities, helping you to stay cool and dry.

They're known to fit true to size and hold up well through many washes. They even have the Nike logo running across the waistband, so you can satisfyingly match them with the rest of your workout kit.

If you're the sort of guy who prefers to buy in bulk, then this set from FM London is going to be right up your street. The company provides 12 pairs of boxer briefs, all for under £30! So, not only do you save the hassle of having to buy little and often, but you get excellent value for your dosh. 

They come in an array of different colour options, from assorted colours to strictly black, so you can pick whatever you prefer. FYI Antonio Rossi is an Italian Olympian-turned-clothing designer, so he knows all about fit, comfort and classic design. Sorted.

Jack & Jones was founded in the 90s as a Danish jeanswear label, they've branched out since then so luckily these pants are not made from denim! Joking aside, these pants have been designed with care - they are bold, yet any peeking waistbands won't betray the neon below!

The neon might not be for everyone, or every occasion, but why not, every now and then, throw in a bit of colour / pattern to liven up an undie drawer filled with the predictable black, white and grey? 

When it comes to the world of fashionable undies, no company is more synonymous with men's pants than Calvin Klein. For that reason, when opting for some tucked-in-tight pants, we had to choose this pack of thongs. They're known to run true to size and have the classic CK quality and comfort, which has garnered them such a reputation. 

When shopping for brand names, you do expect to pay a little bit more. However, these came in even more expensive than their classic trunks, which is difficult to understand due to there being significantly less fabric. 

ASOS has its own in-house designer basic range - these items go a long way to creating the building blocks of a modern-day wardrobe. One great example is this classic-look 2-pack of fully cotton boxer shorts. 

Made from 100% cotton, they're breathable, natural and comfortable, plus they come in muted blue designs to keep things interesting, without being outlandish - perfect for chilling out in around the house, on their own or under loose-fitting slouchy trousers.
