Men’s boxer briefs have become the go-to all-rounder underwear. They offer support, cover a bit more of the thigh than classic trunks, stay in place under jeans and work just as well for busy days as for lazy Sundays on the sofa.
Some brands focus on technical performance, others on eco-responsibility, sometimes on discreet luxury. This guide brings together ten brands, each with its own very personal take on the boxer brief, with different fabrics, lengths, philosophies and price levels.
Saxx
Sizes: XS to XXL
Price range: 29–40 €
Inseam length: 8” – 20 cm
Composition: polyester/elastane + Tencel™ lining
Saxx puts sport first. Its boxer briefs are made for running, cycling and cardio sessions where nothing should get in the way. The brand patented its BallPark Pouch®, an internal pouch that keeps everything in place. That detail built its reputation, along with quick-dry, highly breathable fabrics. Flat Out Seams® help prevent irritation. Saxx focuses more on technical performance than eco credentials, with mostly synthetic materials.
For fans of intense training, these boxer briefs stay put on the thigh thanks to the No-RideUp Leg™. Support is firm, freedom of movement total, and the anti-roll waistband keeps the shorts exactly where they should be. A performance-driven approach with a near “textile engineer” mindset.
Mack Weldon
Sizes: S to XXL
Price range: 42 €
Inseam length: 8” – 20 cm
Composition: polyamide/polyester/elastane
Mack Weldon brings a techwear spirit to underwear. Its boxer briefs are built with knit zones that ventilate different parts of the body, like a discreet cooling system. The brand designs its products with almost scientific care for breathability. The support pouch is integrated, with no fly, so the boxer stays close to the body.
The AirKnitX fabric manages moisture and helps control odours after training. The boxer stays in place, which appeals to fans of cycling, yoga or simply long days when you want to forget you’re wearing shorts under your trousers. It’s technical, but understated — apart from the product info printed directly on the back of the thigh.
Tommy John
Sizes: S to XXL
Price range: approx. 28–39 €
Inseam length: 6”/8” – 15/20 cm
Composition: modal, Pima cotton, polyamide, elastane
Tommy John treats materials like a sommelier. Several versions of men’s boxer briefs coexist, from silky modal to Pima cotton. The flagship style features a horizontal fly, a clever detail for rushed mornings. The fabrics are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, ensuring the absence of questionable substances.
The legs stay in place, the fabric is soft, and the colours are built around clean, elegant cuts. The variety of materials lets you choose by use: premium cotton for relaxing, modal for the office, technical polyamide for active days.
Under Armour
Sizes: XS to 3XL
Price range: approx. 37 €
Inseam length: 6”/9” – 15/23 cm
Composition: cotton, polyester, elastane
Under Armour designs men’s boxer briefs for exertion. They breathe, they dry fast, they hold everything in place. The fly is functional and the fabrics are mostly synthetic, sometimes blended with cotton.
The brand targets sports performance rather than organic fibres. It’s all about efficiency: support, stretch, flat seams. Daily trainers get a simple, effective ally for sessions where you don’t want to think about clingy fabric.
Bluebuck
Sizes: XS to 4XL
Price range: 32 €
Inseam length: 4” – 11 cm
Composition: 95% GOTS organic cotton, 5% elastane
Bluebuck takes a different approach. The boxer brief is designed as an everyday garment built to last. Fibres are responsibly sourced, the cut is timeless, and comfort remains the priority. Every step matters, from cotton harvesting to European assembly.
Our men’s boxer briefs are made in Portugal, in factories powered by 100% renewable electricity. We don’t follow seasons, sales or short-lived trends. The cotton is organic, GOTS certified, with a soft cotton waistband. No fly, no gimmicks. Just a clean, sturdy fabric designed to go the distance.
Ron Dorff
Sizes: XS to XXL
Price range: 48 €
Inseam length: mid-thigh
Composition: 96% cotton, 4% elastane
Ron Dorff plays with the codes of sport and chic. Its men’s boxer briefs look like reworked training shorts. The two-button fly gives an unapologetically retro touch. Lines are clean and sharp.
Made in Portugal, this style is all about restraint: flat waistband, eyelets with the brand’s logo embroidered tone-on-tone. The cotton is dense and pleasant, with a close yet comfortable fit. For fans of pieces that are quietly distinctive, the balance is just right.
Bjorn Borg
Sizes: XS to XXL
Price range: from 40 € (two-pack)
Inseam length: —
Composition: 88% recycled polyester, 12% elastane
Bjorn Borg carries a strong sports DNA. Its men’s boxer briefs favour recycled polyester, a sign of environmental effort, even if production is outsourced (to China). The waistband is soft, and a reinforced panel at the crotch improves support.
The cuts are designed for physical activity. Scandinavian style shows through in clean lines, frequent geometric patterns and bold colours. A solid compromise for those who want technical performance with a touch of eco-awareness.
2Xist
Sizes: SM to XXL
Price range: approx. 25–31 €
Inseam length: 6” – 15 cm
Composition: cotton/spandex or Pima/modal/spandex
2Xist focuses on ergonomics. Its men’s boxer briefs use a “Contour” pouch designed to support without squeezing. The cotton is soft, the spandex gives just the right amount of stretch. The “Dream” versions, made for night-time, blend Pima cotton and modal for an even silkier hand-feel.
This New York brand aims for urban comfort: practical pieces, tag-free, with a branded waistband. The style is simple and effective for those who want ease without diving into overly technical jargon.
Pact
Sizes: S to 2XL
Price range: 21 €
Inseam length: 6.5” – 16.5 cm
Composition: 95% organic cotton, 5% elastane
Pact is firmly rooted in the organic segment. Its men’s boxer briefs are GOTS certified, fair-trade and carbon neutral — a rare combination at this price point. There’s no fly, a pouch with visible seams and a straightforward cut.
The brand champions accessible organic cotton. The design stays basic, comfort is there, and the environmental approach runs through the entire chain. For those who want responsible underwear without scaring their bank account, it’s an appealing option.
Hanro
Sizes: S to XXL
Price range: approx. 78–83 €
Inseam length: —
Composition: polyamide/elastane or mercerised cotton/elastane
Hanro has a luxurious vision of underwear. Its men’s boxer briefs in Meryl-Skinlife® microfibre stand out for their fine, smooth feel with precise stretch and support. The mercerised cotton versions showcase serious textile know-how in men’s underwear.
The styles are OEKO-TEX® certified, the fly may be buttoned depending on the range, and the waistbands remain understated. Hanro targets those who want a premium piece, worn with quiet pleasure — private comfort that doesn’t need a giant logo.
