After testing out dozens of pairs of underwear for SPY readers, we’ve come to believe that you shouldn’t just feel your coziest in the best men’s underwear, but you should also look just as great. Being sexy in your skivvies isn’t just a thing for the ladies; guys deserve to feel just as hot in their underwear. There are loads of sexy men’s underwear options to help boost that sex appeal, too, ranging from cheeky jockstraps to that Valentine’s Day’s go-to, men’s silk underwear.
Visually, silk underwear for men is seductive. There isn’t any other way to put it. There is something about that silky texture that exudes desirability in ways that cotton never could. But visual qualities aren’t the only reason why every dude should own a pair of silk undies. Silk is known to have an exquisite feel on the skin that you just can’t recreate with other fabrics. It’s also naturally breathable and temperature regulating, so if you find yourself a little sweaty below the belt at times, men’s silk underwear is a smart route to go.
Silk is also naturally hypoallergenic, absorbent, and great for sensitive skin. Silk is a great alternative for guys suffering from issues related to other materials—no wonder so many folks are ditching traditional cotton for silk pillowcases nowadays.

What we love about these silk boxers from Fishers Finery is the length. Because they run a little longer than average, these aren’t your traditional boxers. They feel like something you can wear around the house or even grab the mail (with an added bathrobe, of course).

Although they don’t have pockets, we consider these more in the realm of men’s shorts.
