How to Find Your Perfect Fit with SKIMS Men’s Boxer Briefs

When it comes to underwear like boxer briefs, finding the perfect pair you can wear all day in comfort can come down to making the right selection. The two main things to be mindful of are the inseam length and the actual material of the boxer brief.

SKIMS inseam options for men

In addition to three types of underwear materials (more on these in a moment), SKIMS also offers three different inseam sizes for men’s boxer briefs: 3-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch.

So, why the variance? Does the inseam size really make that much of a difference? Absolutely. And while personal preference always plays a major role in deciding what to go with, here is a bit more insight into each inseam size.

3-Inch Inseam

Freedom of movement: Shorter inseams offer more freedom of movement, making them ideal for athletic activities or for people who just prefer less fabric.

Coolness: Less fabric covering your body means better breathability, keeping you a little cooler, especially in warmer climates or environments.

Modern style: Trendy and fashionable, these shorter inseams have a sleek look.

5-Inch Inseam

Balanced Coverage: This size strikes a balance between coverage and freedom of movement, catering to a broader range of fit preferences.

Reduced Ride-Up: Since they’re longer than 3-inch inseams, 5-inch sizes are less prone to riding up during movement.

Versatile: The in-between size offers added versatility for everyday wear and active pursuits.

7-Inch Inseam

Ample Coverage: The longer inseam offers more coverage and support, which some may find more comfortable, especially during extended wear.

Reduced Ride-Up: Longer inseams are less likely to ride up or shift during movement.

Traditional Style: The long inseam can appeal to those who prefer a more classic or traditional (i.e., longer) boxer brief style.

SKIMS fabric options

The inseam isn’t the only aspect you need to decide on—the choice of fabric makes a big difference as well. Get to know SKIMS men’s underwear fabrics a little better below.
