Weekly Fashion Fix: Complete & Utter Pants

Do not adjust your computer screens…

Weekly Fashion Fix: Complete & Utter Pants Boxers, briefs, Y-fronts – whatever you want to call them, they all amount to one thing: pants (in the true English sense of the word). While school, college or your day job might require a certain amount of restraint when it comes to fashion, underneath it all you can run wild.

Turn up the My Chemical Romance and release your inner emo with these cheap (and not so cheerful) Skull Print Hipsters. These pants do come with one condition though – that they be worn higher than your low-slung skinny jeans so we can all get a peek at just how angst-ridden you really are. £3 from Burton. 

Stripy candyfloss pink is not the sole reserve of sticks of rock in seaside towns. And we’d like to thank House of Holland for bringing this to our attention - and ASOS for stocking such garishly great boxers. House of Holland Trunks £21. 

It may be mildly beyond acceptable behaviour to whip out a copy of The Beano in polite society (i.e. work) but you can always keep Dennis and Gnasher close to your heart (or thereabouts) with these Beano Men Vintage Print Boxer Shorts for £10 from Play.com.

Ah, the early 90s. Never was an hour better wasted than playing Sonic the Hedgehog (or Alex the Kidd) on our trusty Sega Master System. We can hear the music now! If, like us, nostalgia is truly your thing, get your crown jewels tucked away safely in these Men’s Sonic the Hedgehog Boxer Shorts for £8.99 from Truffle Shuffle.

Gents on a diet look away now as these Donuts Boxers by Pull-In are not what a boy who’s trying to steer clear of the Krispy Kremes needs. While these pants might look good, we don’t reckon 85% polyester and 15% Lycra will taste so hot. But do let us know if you disagree. £27.99 from Surfdome.

Finally, we bring you the most sensible pair of pants featured: Chequerboard Boxers for £6 from Topman. They kind of remind us of the old TV test card patterns (geek alert). But it’s not just their retro aesthetic we’re giving the thumbs up to, the fact they’re 100% cotton is also a bonus. Nobody likes sweaty…ahem…you get the drift.
