Black Boxers vs Printed: Why Plain Is Boring (and When It Isn’t)

Whats Down White Floral women's printed cotton boxers on a model. Print detail

Plain black boxers have their place. That place is under a white sherwani. Everywhere else, print wins.

When plain makes sense

Light-coloured formal trousers; that’s about it.

When print wins

Every other day: sleep, lounge, beach, balcony, shop. A print you chose is a small daily joy.

The best of both

Dark-ground prints. Black Casino, Black Playstation, Blue Galaxy. Read as black under trousers and as fun everywhere else.

Dark prints on the men’s rack.

Good to know

Women’s rack: The women’s rack is cut for women, not scaled down from men’s: a slightly higher rise, a shorter leg and a waist that stays put. Black & White Roses, Maroon Umbrella, Vertical Boho, Spot the Panda, Snakes & Lads and White Nautical, in S–XL.

Gifting: Printed boxers are the rare gift that gets used. Pick the print that matches the person. Gamer, musician, gym obsessive, permanent holidaymaker. And get the size by measuring a pair they already own flat across the waistband and doubling it. When in doubt, one size up.

Waistband: We sew the elastic inside a fabric casing, so nothing rubs your skin and nothing shows through trousers. There’s no drawstring to knot or lose in the wash; the inner elastic keeps you in place on its own, flexing after lunch and snapping back when you stand up.

Made in India: Envisioned, designed and made in India. Our boxers are stitched in our own workshop by people we know, in small batches, which is how we can put out a new print without betting on ten thousand units of it.
