The commonest complaint that we men have about boxer shorts is that they (and I try to express this delicately) allow one's assets a freedom of movement that is at times uncomfortable. The Belgian brand McAlson have got round this by designing in what they coyly describe as "an internal support system". Over the past few years I've featured one or two brands that have used similar methods of holding it all together by sewing a soft cotton pouch into the front of the shorts and usually, as here, it's very effective. This means that one has all the stylish, classic elegance of the boxer short but with the support of a pair of stretch trunks.
McAlson offer a large selection of colourful and attractive designs and also sell pyjamas and swimming shorts. Priced at 35 Euros, they are rather at the mercy of the variable strength of the pound in these uncertain days, but they are well-made and comfortable and can be found at McAlson.
