Details matter: the boxers and socks that mark a gentleman
Words: India Gladstone
The undergarments that a gentleman wears are all too often overlooked as being something that isn’t important – the argument being that not many people will have their eyes exposed to what lies beneath (the clothes, not the underwear). Your underwear actually say a lot about you.
A gentleman needs to keep things classy in all areas of his wardrobe – that goes without saying – so why should your underwear be treated any differently? The main thing that you need to work out is the type of boxer that you prefer to wear. It’s important to go for comfort as well as style. Once you’ve figure that out, the (underwear) world is your oyster. And while we’ve got your attention, we feel that it’s a necessity for you to create a totally new sock collection. Unless you’re incredibly organised about your life, the next step you must take is to throw out any old socks that you have accumulated over the years and start again.
Socks are much more visible than a lot of people realise – and this can be deadly. You’re much too old to have a pair of novelty Christmas socks, or to wear an odd pair when you work for an incredibly important company. Make the change today, and invest in these pieces to bring your gentlemanly style up the the level it should be at.

Emma Willis is one of the best brands out there for the modern gentleman, and if you prefer the longest style of boxer, then this is the brand for you.

JOHN SMEDLEY
