What Is Sexy Underwear for Men?

Sexy is always what you make it. And it might mean different things to different people. According to Victor Zhu, CEO of Zechuang Clothing Company, sexy underwear for men starts with a flattering cut for your body type and a style that makes you feel confident. "It's also worth investing in a few high-end pieces for special occasions or when you want that extra boost of confidence!"

Sexy men's underwear should consider both aesthetics and function, says Zhu. "Comfort is a top priority—men want to feel good wearing these pieces, not just look good. Modern designs cater to confidence and self-expression, not just appeal."

Where to Buy Men's Sexy Underwear

Depending on how steamy you'd like to get, we found several retailers that are tried and true when it comes to making men's lingerie that's hot but still wearable.

  • Fleur du Mal: This fiery brand makes some of the most cutting-edge pieces of men's lingerie we could find. Here, you'll see daring pieces like thongs for men, with accents like embroidery and lace. It's all about embracing manhood while feeling comfortable trying something new and different.
  • MeUndies: This popular brand is well-known for its matching undies that allow couples to coordinate underneath their clothing. But they pay keen attention to comfort, too, producing sustainable pieces that boast eco-friendly, super-breathable fabrics. Their men's thongs are a popular choice.
  • Nordstrom: This high-end retailer is always a great place to shop for men's underwear, from the most basic to more daring pieces that often come from luxury brands like Versace (you'll find a pair of Versace thongs on our list!). Nordstrom is also a great place to find Calvin Klein underwear for men, a staple brand that Zhu says, "continues to lead with bold styles."
