The hipster is another variation of the classic boxer brief by the French designer brand HOM, which is manufactured under licence by Triumph International and remains a popular style of designer underwear for men.

It is slightly smaller than the maxi as it has a square cut leg that extends approximately a fifth of the way down the leg, so slightly shorter than the maxi and the waistband only just sits on the hips.

These are a good choice for men who like the fits and support of the fuller boxer brief, such as the maxi, but are looking for something that will not be visible above the waistband of trousers and are also slightly cooler during intense activity due to less coverage in the leg, thus being a good choice for sport.

Note the shorter leg than that of the maxi, which has a slightly longer leg length.

Fitted trunks are by far one of the most popular styles for mens underwear and seem set to be the preferred choice of underwear, which was perhaps once held by loose fitting boxer shorts.

There seems to be three basic styles of fitted  mens trunks, which are the classic trunk, hipster, and midi. These differ according to where they sit on the waist or hip and the leg length.

Overall, trunks offer a seem free look and because of their close fit they also offer very good support and control in the pouch, which is possibly why they are so popular with men.

Mens Underwear Trunk

Classic trunk – starting with the classic trunk, which is also sometimes known as a maxi, these have the fullest fit of all the styles and is a close fitting style of mens underwear. They have a square cut leg, which is the longest in the leg out of all the styles and generally sit above the hip on the waist.

Mens Hipster Style Mens Underwear

Hipster – a popular style in mens underwear as they sit lower on the hip and are a good choice for low waist trousers as they still offer the seem free look, with maximum support because of their close fit. Again, they have a square cut leg, which is generally slightly shorter than the classic trunk and yet still retaining a traditional trunk style.

Mens Underwear Midi Trunk

Midi Trunk – this style of mens underwear is the tiniest of the fitted trunks, offering the closest of fits and minimalist of looks. They sit on the hip and has short square cut legs that are cut quite high and can leave minimal coverage at the rear. Men’s underwear can not get any smaller than this as a trunk.
