    Trifecta

    Our top three briefs

    Show your soft side
    These Calvin Klein Steel hip briefs mark the 25th anniversary of the designer’s underwear line. Despite their tough-sounding name, the new low-rise undies feature the softest cotton we’ve ever felt. They are so soft, in fact, that your partner might not let you take them off. $20 at Macy’s (111 N State St at Washington St, 312-781-1000).

    Punk planet
    It doesn’t take guts to wear these “Only the Brave” Diesel briefs, all you’ll need is a sense of style. This purple pair (also available in black) features a Mohawk-wearing dude on the bum, along with the company’s “brave” slogan. Wear them under your business suit and no one will know you’re secretly rocking a punk-rock look. $24 at Diesel (923 N Rush St at Walton Pl, 312-255-0157).

    Ready to ride
    Ginch Gonch is known for its whimsically designed underwear, and these Blue Sky High sport briefs do not disappoint. The blended cotton-and-Lycra underpants are slightly longer than traditional briefs, making them a new variation on boxer-briefs. And even though the bikers on the front look fast, you’ll always win the race, big boy. $30 at Universal Gear (3153 N Broadway at Briar Pl, 773-296-1090).
