Guys in Nice Satin: Taking Briefs, Tanks, and Thongs to Another Level

Shirt by NIHL, $450; Briefs by Charlie by MZ, $38

When it comes to sexy bedroom attire, our dirty minds often wander to leather, jockstraps, or good old-fashioned Calvin Kleins. But if you really want to shake things up in the boudoir -- or just experience the thrill of knowing you're rocking something risque under that staid plaid suit -- why not consider something daring and super comfy? Los Angeles-based brand Menagerie is leading the way with a focus on intimate apparel that uses fabrics generally associated with the fairer sex, and now other designers, from Kenzo to 2(x)ist, are getting in on the satiny action. Not only will a sheer crop top or pair of lacy boxer briefs leave you feeling cool this summer, it'll also make your snug tighty-whities seem downright chaste. Sure, it might be a while before we see dudes in lingerie and angel wings walking the runway, but that doesn't mean you have to keep your softer, more seductive side a secret.
