If you have a thing for the All-American guy, complete with a surf board and baseball cap (occasionally worn backwards), then this new Adrian C. Martin photo shoot will more than do it for you. The model’s name is Carlos Guillen. He’s wearing different underwear styles by Croota. The brand is known for its hipster cut. The brief-meets-trunk style they create is so flattering and sexy it’s unreal.
Among other designs, Carlos wear the Croota Neo Night 02 Hipster. It’s the pair he runs in, and wears for all the shots he’s hiding behind the surfboard — all but one. Wink. The hipster has a snug black body with white seams around the pouch and legs. It’s sporty. But then it’s sportier still with it’s bold red waistband. It’s designed with the brand name printed in white, off-centered, at an angle, and in various font sizes. It’s awesomely athletic, and one of the brand’s best.

Too much wax on the body. Too much wax on the brows.

I still find it odd how face stubble is in, but every hair from the neck down gotta go.

I clicked this article to find out what hipster underwear is, & I still don’t know.
joey

@SteveDenver: It’s the “I’m trying to look unkept even though you can tell I spend hours in front of the mirror” look.
joey
@Stache99: ha ha correct you are! i hate when i miss simple spelling …thanks!
Stache99
@joey: It’s spelled underwear and we already know that darlin.
bobnla
what’s wrong with a hairy body? Nothing. It is natural to be hairy. STOP SHAVING

@joey: I agree. I like the surfboard pic the best, but what’s the point in using that to advertise underwear?
jwtraveler
@Stache99: It’s spelled “unkempt”, darlin’, you pedantic fool.
Stache99
@jwtraveler: Wow. So much hate. Are you always such a smug asshole or did someone piss in your cornflakes this morning?
Unkempt is a more specific term but according to Grammarist both can be used to describe the guy.. “Unkept and unkempt share the broad definition neglected or not properly maintained”.

I definitely prefer men who don’t manscape, but if a guy does I am not going to be turned off or complain about it.

Love the last pair. The fabric’s amazingly sheer!

I don’t understand this new cut of underwear. It’s like guys who still want to wear briefs but are too afraid of being seen in briefs so they cut it square. At that point you may as well just wear briefs. The cut looks really awkward and unappealing.
I don’t get the stigma against briefs. Boxer briefs are uncomfortable but at least show your body shape. Straight up boxers look like they should be reserved for elderly men. Briefs are sexy and always will be despite all the insecure men who refuse to wear them while trying to wear things “like” them.
This underwear is trying too hard.

He’s a very beautiful man, but I agree that if he relaxed his eyebrow plucking and let some body hair come back he’d be even better. Then again, he’s young enough to pull off the smooth look as well.

Baggy boxers are ridiculous. I prefer tight hipsters.
joey
@jason smeds: ha ha whats wrong with baggy boxers? i wear them but mostly just wear plain old tighty whiteys
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
@Captain Obvious:
100% Co sign. Got some boxers for Xmas one year and tried em on. For one day and one day only. They kept riding up all over my places and were soooo uncomfortable. Have absol no idea why so many young guys want to emulate Grandpa’s undergoods………
Ain’t not “nuthing” hotter than a guy in his tighty whiteys! :p
TristanShout
I thought it would be photos of a guy in underpants for hipsters. Why does he have lady eyebrows?
spiffy
I thought “hipster” meant the Williamsburg variety too — imagine my disappointment — wasn’t this style called the square cut?
But I am way too distracted by the model’s puffy right nipple, especially the second photo from bottom — isn’t that usually a sign of gynecomastia?
Evji108
What does hipster underwear even mean and what does it have to do with any of these photos? Somebody please splain that to me.
likearolingston
Could someone please explain what’s sporty or all-American about this androgynous eye-makeup-wearing, eyebrow-plucking, body-shaving nancy boy? Not that I have anything against androgynous eye-makeup-wearing, eyebrow-plucking, body-shaving nancy boys. Some of my favorite people are androgynous eye-makeup-wearing, eyebrow-plucking, body-shaving nancy boys. It’s just I’m utterly puzzled by the use of adjectives in this post.

He is a nice looking guy but the plucked eyebrows and the over-waxing are kind of off-putting.
leo26
I think these are trying to go for the American apparel look which is considered hipster underwear. In my opinion, I was imagining some underwear with holes in them, never been washed, and the print consisting of the gaudy home made tattoos they give themselves. I’m just not sure why there is a surfboard when all the hipsters I unfortunately know ride fixed gears.
SonOfKings
He would look better more natural. The only thing worse than those stubbly, painted on looking baby “beards,” is when the rest of the face and body is waxed, plucked, and overly detailed.
salumbre
@spiffy: I highly doubt that it’s gynecomastia (at least the steroid-caused variety), since his muscles look perfectly natural. He just seems to have a noticeably larger right nipple. It doesn’t scare me.
