Model Garrett Westton wearing Garçon Model underwear – Photo by Travis Lane
Last week I was sent a series of photos of Garçon Model’s latest collection, Elite Sport trunk collection, that was released just before the holiday season last year. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to post the photo above of Garçon Model, Garrett Westton, or to talk about one of my favorite brands of underwear.
The Garçon Model underwear is made from bamboo, which is not only eco-friendly but also incredibly soft and breathable (in other words it keeps your bits drier and feeling fresher). The Underwear expert wrote a post about moisture-wicking underwear like Garçon Model’s Elite Sport a few years ago, here.

“We edited down to the essentials, then added a hint of athletic accents and modern colors that work in and out of the gym.” – Garçon Model.
The Underwear Expert Blog asked their handsome style report, Jared North, to try on a variety of underwear types and colors based on traditions from different countries. Most of these traditions are meant to bring you either success, health or a better love life in the New Year. Enjoy the video and let me know which tradition you’ll be following when you slip on your underwear Thursday night.
Mode.com has been using this handsome model to make videos that showcase men fashion trends over the past 100 years, and I never tire of their videos. They have recently released their latest in this series New Year’s Style. Watch how the style of dress to celebrate the New Year have changed and in some ways remained remarkably similar in their fun, work-safe video below.
One of my favorite underwear brands, Garçon Model, has released their 2016 calendar which you can download from their website. I’ve shared my birthday month above to tempt you but you can see all 12-months by visiting: garconmodel.com/2016-calendar.
A recent post about underwear has resulted in me getting some rather interesting images emailed from guys who read my blog. However, the one shown above takes the cake.
I’m not sure if this was handmade for someone or if it is available for purchase, but I thought I’d state for the record this would not be my idea of a great gift.
This season’s winner of America’s Next Top Model, Nyle DiMarco, described himself as “sexually fluid” in a series of Tweets from earlier this fall, but what that means is subject to a lot of conjecture.
In an interview with Out Magazine earlier this month DiMarco talks about how much he looks up to male supermodel David Gandy and mentions a few female crushes, including fellow contestant Lacey and Jennifer Lawrence.

While most of us don’t look like Boston model / personal trainer / nutrition counselor, Chris Nogiec, (shown above) when we wear underwear, it doesn’t stop many gay men from paying top dollar for designer underwear. These purchases can make for a great gift. The Underwear Expert blog shared the infographic below on mens’ underwear preferences and trends.
According to 45,000 survey responses from The Underwear Expert, the top choices in men’s underwear styles are Briefs (27%), Boxer Briefs (22%), Jockstraps (17%) and Trunks (15%). 54% of the men surveyed also prefer low-rise underwear and 41% prefer mid-rise underwear.

Later this week the MFA Boston launches simultaneous exhibits that will appeal to all the fashionistas in town. American illustrator, Kenneth Paul Block, and Japanese photographer, Hiro, who both hit their peak in the 1950s and helped to shape the look of such influential journals as Women’s Wear Daily and Harper’s Bazaar.
Although the MFA exhibit focuses primarily on their fashion work, even the most style-unconscious will appreciate how these two artists shaped the aesthetic of the past century.

Are you aware of the Garçon Model underwear selfie contest? I have no idea how this escaped my attention for so long. The contest is fairly straight forward, take a selfie wearing your favorite Garçon Model underwear and upload it with the hashtag #GarconModel to your Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram account for your chance to win a free pair of underwear.
Garçon Model underwear is giving away one pair of underwear to 3 lucky guys every month. Check out some of the Garçon Selfie Contest Submissions.
This summer I posted a similar video 100 years of men’s swimsuits in 3 minutes, which I thought was pretty cool. If you liked that video then I bet you’ll find this also pretty cool to watch.

Just in time for the US Open, former number 1 tennis pro Rafael Nadal is in a new underwear campaign for Tommy Hilfiger. While I’m not a fan of Hilfiger, I do think quite a lot of Nadal’s assets.
I will always love Rafael Nadal, but if you liked this post, you’ll probably want to check out my more recent post, Dominic Thiem’s ass distracts us again. Similar theme, different player.
