Types of underwear and which one is ideal for your body and style

You can have any style, but you will necessarily have to wear underwear to make it up. The most basic and universal piece in a man's closet accompanies his life from childhood to old age.

There are several models, fabrics, and patterns that can enhance your body's attributes or even harm them.

To help you choose the most ideal model for your body type, we asked Zorba which has a diverse line of products to meet the needs of the modern man.

With our tips below, don't be afraid to choose an underwear model that reflects your style:

Slip

The traditional underwear model is the most sold in Brazil. Within it there are some variations, such as more or less caved in on the sides, with normal or thick elastic. The model gives the sensation of freedom of movement

Who it is suitable for: As the slip leaves the thigh fully exposed, it is a piece that provides a visual effect of lengthening the legs. This model does not mark under pants and is good to wear with social clothing, and is recommended for use with slim fit jeans.

Boxer

With a more modern design that resembles a short, this model has gained popularity with the young male public. It does not mark under the clothes, but it usually blisters on the legs of those who wear very tight pants, forming a volume at the beginning of the thigh. It is even more comfortable than the slip model.

To whom it is indicated It is indicated for tall people, because it shortens the legs a little.

Samba-Song

It goes well with chino or tailored pants, as they allow for a more comfortable fit on the body.

To whom it is indicated for those looking for extreme comfort.

Sunga

This model is in the middle between a slip and a boxer, resulting in more freedom of movement and a great acceptance among athletes, as it provides security without being a bother to the leg.

Who it is suitable for: This piece is a joker, because it does not have the problem of accumulation of tissue on the thigh.

Details are also important

Elastic waistband

The stiffer model is firmer, holds the garment in place, and doesn't bend when you sit down. The more malleable elastic (found in sports underwear) squeezes less, and is more comfortable.

Fabrics

- Classic cotton is the joker fabric, as it lets the skin breathe well.

- The microfiber models with Dry (sports-oriented) control body temperature and do not retain sweat.

- The polyamide models offer greater resistance, keeping the underwear soft even after a few washes.

- Modal is a natural fiber extracted from wood, which provides softness even after several washes. It also gives the feeling of "skin on skin", absorbs humidity, and facilitates perspiration.

- Bamboo is a mesh based on bamboo fiber, a renewable raw material that provides a softer and lighter fabric, facilitates body perspiration, and hinders the proliferation of bacteria. It also accompanies body temperature.

Quick and Practical Tips

Want to avoid odors? Choose models with microfiber fabric for better transpiration without trapping sweat.

Want more comfort? Seamless underwear guarantees a perfect fit, without generating any kind of discomfort or irritation on the skin.
