As “timeless” as white briefs are, it should come as no surprise that white underwear is slowly being phased out of men’s underwear drawers. They are no longer your “basic brief.” Black underwear is more timeless, forever classic and easily elegant. But two other colors are making headway in the race to your underwear collection: navy blue and gunmetal grey.
A low-rise basic brief is the most popular style of men’s underwear. Fashion-savvy men know the men’s underwear market holds much more than a boxer brief. They also know basic brief pairs in black and white seldom surprise or impress anyone anymore. Model Adam Powell wears the teamm8 Super Low Brief in Gunmetal Grey for this Underwear Expert exclusive shoot by Jerrad Matthew. The brief is designed with a darker shade of grey. A more handsome choice than white, darker shades of grey are easily paired with brighter colors more common in the spring and summer fashion basic brief looks.

Who cares about underwear. The whole point of being in the situation where the guy you’re with can see your underwear is the moment in which you want to take it off as quickly as possible. Which is exactly what he’s thinking as well.

All my white underwear is gradually turning grey after hundreds of washings. Who knew I was becoming fashionable?
On another note: I don’t normally comment on such things, but this guy is the least appealing underwear model I’ve ever seen. He’s not selling me on those briefs.
@Alan down in Florida: My feelings exactly.

There’s a practical problem with light gray underwear. If you don’t get every drop of pee off your wee wee after taking a piss, it’s very obvious. It isn’t as much of a problem with very light or very dark undies.

I wear boxers because they are comfortable. If a guy I am with doesn’t like them, he can just take them off!

Rest assured, white, Fruit of the Loom briefs aren’t going away any time soon. They help lure customers into Targets, KMart and other stores who advertise in the Sunday paper. I have found myself picking the colored packs these days of late (when available) but if white is all they have, then I grab them.
For the exhibitionist who must have all eyes on his ass in the locker room Andrew Christian is the order of the day.

Yeah…Grey undies are nice. I haven’t worn white underwear in years. Boring. As for brand, I have been riding with Ralph Lauren underwear since secondary school and still do. I do have some Papi underwear tho for when its time to be extra naughty with my man.

Call me a traditionalist, but I like the tighty whities both on and off!

Fashion is stupid. There are more important things for gay people to care about than underwear color right now. Especially since 28 different states have religious discrimination bills like the one in Indiana set up to be voted on.

@Paul Tidd:
I’m sorry…is there some written rule that you can’t have two thoughts in your head at once? Yes, I am picky about my underwear and specific about colors and work to advance gay equality. I can do two things at once.
