A Girl on Boys' Underwear

TEXT AND PHOTOS KARLEY SCIORTINO

Underwear says a lot about a person. In his book The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again, Warhol said, "I would rather watch somebody buy their underwear than read a book they wrote." Underwear, he suggests, is a reflection of character. Personally, I don't wear underwear because mine are always dirty. When I do, they're the crappy £1 kind they sell at Primark. But there you go, I guess that says something about me.

So, to understand a guy, all you have to do is check out his pants. Boxers or briefs, designer or generic, clean or cummy, newly bought or tattered, bought by himself or by his mum—these things all signify something. Recently, I dated a guy who folded his underwear. On paper he was everything I ever wanted: beautiful, unstable, brilliant, self-destructive. In reality, he did things like point out if my eyeliner was asymmetrical and vacuum my bed. The underwear-folder was a control freak and I should have seen it coming.

I’ve always had a thing for guys who wear boxers. I like to be surprised, you know? To me, boxers symbolize a quiet confidence. If a guy's underwear is too tiny I feel like I'm getting mixed messages. Boxer briefs can seem a bit arrogant. American Apparel Y-fronts are a little trendy. Jock straps are too gay. Unwashed suggest a gross-tasting dick. And so on.

With that in mind, please take from these images what you will.

    You forgot Marks and Spencer plain white cotton Y-fronts. The best pants in the world. They're not too tighty-whitey, but neatly hold your package in place. Can't abide all of that baggy boxers bollocks flapping against your leg bullshit.
