Underjeans weighs in on the only daily essential you can’t skip.
Nobody talks about underwear, but everyone has strong opinions on it—especially when the drawer runs empty on a Monday morning.
So, how many pairs does a man actually need? Not to impress anyone. Just to live well, look good, and never get caught off guard.
Here’s our breakdown—from the team that thinks about premium underwear so you don’t have to.
First, a Reality Check
You don’t need more.
You need better.
Having 25 pairs of cheap, shapeless underwear isn’t a flex—it’s a burden. If you're still holding on to saggy waistbands and faded prints, it's time to edit the drawer. Think less clutter, more consistency. And most importantly: comfort that doesn’t quit.
The Ideal Number? It’s About You
Instead of a one-size-fits-all answer, let’s build around lifestyle.
The Working Week Guy
Need: 7–10 pairs
For the guy with a 9–5, weekend plans, and zero tolerance for mid-week laundry drama. Rotation matters—but quality trumps quantity.
The Active Routine Guy
Need: 12–15 pairs
You hit the gym. You travel. You sometimes sweat through a second pair by 6PM. You don’t gamble with freshness.
The Jet-Set Minimalist
Need: 15+ pairs
You live out of suitcases and carry-ons. Having enough underwear is non-negotiable. So is premium underwear that breathes, folds well, and survives red-eyes.
But Wait—Why Go Premium?
Having enough underwear isn't just about quantity—quality matters even more. Here's why investing in premium underwear actually makes your life easier:
1. Comfort That Lasts
Premium underwear uses superior materials that remain soft and supportive wash after wash. No sagging waistbands, no itchy seams—just reliable comfort.
2. Better Hygiene & Health
High-quality fabrics are breathable and moisture-wicking, significantly reducing irritation, sweat, and discomfort—perfect for active routines or long days at work.
3. Confidence Boost
It's simple: when you feel good underneath, you carry that confidence everywhere. Premium underwear doesn't just feel great—it helps you feel great about yourself.
When you upgrade to premium, you get fewer wardrobe malfunctions, better mood mornings, and an everyday essential that finally pulls its weight.
How to Upgrade Your Underwear Drawer in 3 Steps
Simplify the refresh process with this clear, actionable approach:
Step 1: Clear the Clutter
● Discard pairs that are worn out, faded, uncomfortable, or more than a year old.
● If it doesn’t fit well, don’t keep it.
Step 2: Identify Your Routine
- Daily use: at least 4 pairs
- Active lifestyle or workouts: add 3–5 extra pairs
- Frequent travel or unpredictability: add another 3 pairs for good measure
Step 3: Choose Wisely
● Pick a variety of styles—trunks, briefs, or boxers—to match different clothing and activities.
● Invest in premium underwear for durability, comfort, and ease.
Our Rule of Thumb:
For most men, 10–14 pairs of premium underwear is the best option. Enough to rotate, enough to live your life without stressing about laundry, and just enough to never feel underdressed—even underneath it all.
