A brief history of men’s underwear - Jockey
Men, you probably can’t imagine your life without your modern underwear today, right?
But, did you
know that this important piece of clothing in your wardrobe can be traced all the way
back to 5400 BC? We are sure that the first man who decided to wear this kind of
protection would have never
imagined that someday this product would become a billion-dollar industry that would
go on to focus exclusively on style, comfort, and gender appeal.
From the lion cloth and braies to codpieces and loose pantaloons, men’s bottomwear
and innerwear styles kept evolving. In the late 1800s, different kinds of men’s
underwear popped up, including union suits that had connecting vests with drawers,
long johns that were long wool drawers for the winter, and shorter cotton drawers with
front buttons.
Over the years, styles of pants changed, and so did the styles of undergarments
beneath them. From loose to tight pants, normal to low to high waists, and buttons to
zipper openings, today, men wear many different styles, which calls for many different
underwear options as well. Some common designs that still exist today include boxer
and Jockey shorts from the 1930s, and briefs and
mini-briefs introduced in the 1970s.
Now, if you are still wearing the same style of underwear for years, men, let history
be proof that style keeps evolving and every age brings you the best options to
choose from. So, don’t wait any longer! Here are a few styles from Jockey that you
must check out –
