The Difference Between Boxer Shorts and BriefsUpdated 6 days ago

It’s time to set the record straight : a boxer is not a brief, and a brief is not a boxer. These men’s underwear styles are different, yet their names are sometimes used incorrectly.

A brief is a loose and roomy undergarment, offering comfort under your pants. Often used as pajamas, most briefs are made of cotton, although at Le Slip Français, we also offer them in linen.

Il marque également votre taille avec sa ceinture élastique (chez nous souvent tricolore, bleu, blanc et rouge).  A men’s boxer, on the other hand, is close-fitting and hugs the body. It’s the perfect mix between a brief and a loose boxer. Ideal for sports or physical activity, a men’s boxer provides more support than a brief (pair it with our sports socks for the best experience).

It also defines your waist with its elastic waistband (often tricolored in blue, white, and red in our collection).
