AMAB and masc presenting.

I've gotten really into formal wear lately and am experimenting with how-far-is-too-far when tailoring one's slacks especially close. I'm loving the fit of my slacks where I have them now but I can notice the line of my cotton boxer-briefs even when they aren't bunched up. The loose cotton also has a tendency to roll/bunch when I put my leg down a pant so I'm definitely looking to buy a different solution soon, wondering which options might be best though.

    Yeah. They do get a little cheaper if you buy multiple at a time, but they are expensive as shit. I will say I've had mine for like 8 months are they still feel exactly the same as when new. And they're mad comfortable. And I think they make the "package" look pretty good while wearing them too, which is a nice little bonus.

      That is something I'm to a degree concerned about. As I'm getting my clothes to fit better and tighter I'm wondering if there's a line between a sharp outfit and an obscene one. And especially wondering if anyone would warn me once I've crossed it.

      Your experience has been that it makes things "apparent"? but I guess I'm drawing an imaginary line between David Bowie's codpiece as compared to an extra thick "vein" running partway down one's leg... Maybe the distinction I'm imagining is that a distinct but undetailed "volume" might be classier than metaphorical "poky nipples" down one leg.

        Mostly I think they make it look good while wearing just the underwear. I don't think they make things too apparent while wearing clothes. I definitely think "volume" is classier than anything more distinct.
