Welcome to the 2015 UNB Swimwear Guide. This year we has some amazing swimwear from our sponsors GDD World (Clever, JOR and WildmanT), N2N Bodywear, Modus Vivendi, aussieBum and Junk UnderJeans. Each sent in some super fun swimwear that the models had fun wearing.

You may notice a few familiar faces in our shoot. Back from the Holiday Guide is Mikey, Nathan and Chandler and a new face is that of  Bobby. Each of them had a lot of fun on the shoot. Chandler is the class clown and made the shoot fun.

I’ll have a follow up post about the behind the scenes of the shoot this weekend! But here is what you guys want to see! Click on any text link to be taken to the store to buy the pair!

IMG_0926I was pretty excited to open my first package of Fox-Style challenge underwear, and find a pair from one of my favorite brands, #CleverUnderwear! Even better, they’re a cool, shiny Teal color.

The fit is great. And what I love about having Clever underwear is, if I’m having an airhead kinda day, at least I know my butt is Clever. I’m pretty sure that this is literally what they mean when I get called a smart ass.

Really, what good is being named Fox, if you’re not gonna be as #Clever as one!

The teal color inspired me to wear a bright teal shirt and then build an outfit all around it.  Since I’m not lucky enough to IMG_8250make a living parading around in my underwear all day like Mr. #blessed David Beckham, I’ll take inspiration from the color of my undies to inspire the color I choose for my outties. –yes I just made up a clever word to describe the clothes you wear over your undies! I hope it catches on, sometimes these new words don’t… We all remember the tragedy of “fetch”!

Since I’m being so clever, I thought I’d wear a bow-tie, & because my shirt is such a bold pop of color, I went with a charcoal bow-tie with a subtle white floral pattern to complement it, rather than compete. I’m going for a “pop”‘of color, not an outburst.

I could have worn a blue and white checked shirt today, but I didn’t want to clash when I take my pants off.  I mean I’m not going to just take off my pants walking down the street, but eventually the pants are coming off.  When they do come off, whoever gets to see will find that I’m nicely color coordinated!

I opted for a vest instead of a jacket, to show off more of the shirt.   Also a vest looks smart with a bow-tie. So Clever!

Finally, burgundy & grey striped socks, grey slim fit pants, and black suede chukka boots complete the “outties” and create an overall classic look.   Classic, but not stuffy.  Remember, beneath all of this, I’m sporting shiny teal undies! (btw – what do you think? Is “outties” catching on yet?)

I think this look is really pulled together and so dapper that even our friend Mr. Beckham would probably wear it… that is, if he decided to stop running around wearing nothing but his named brand underwear for H&M!

Maybe one day I can talk to him about it, and swap underwear stories.  In the meantime, I’m going to take this Clever teal on teal ensemble out into the world.IMG_8249

Stay tuned for my next adventure with dressing up over my undies!

NOTE: Gddworld furnished the underwear for this post! Find this pair at Candyman Fashion

$_58It is no surprise to anyone who reads UNB that I have always been a fan of thongs.  I love the sexy look and the feeling they give me.  To me it is not a feminine pair of underwear.  One brand of thongs that I have always admired but never worn was Clever.  There is something about the way these thongs look on the model that is so mesmerizing.  I only hoped I would be able to do them justice as those models do for them.

I finally received my first Clever thong and it was the blue Desert Thong.  They are as beautiful in person as in the pictures!  One thing that I love about Clever is how bold and large their waistband font is.  It wraps around the waist with a presence that is so demanding and powerful.  The thong features a cool wave design on the pouch in a blue on blue color scheme.  The material is a nylon, spandex combination that is lightweight and feels good against the skin.  The back of the thong is a wider Y shape that is appealing, especially for guys who are not a fan of the string like backs.  It adds a little more coverage and appeal on the backside.

I slipped the pair on and decided to take them for a test run over the weekend.  I noticed the waistband was tighter than a lot of my pairs I own.  After getting myself adjusted into the thong, I also could tell that the front pouch was not as roomy as other underwear I have worn before.  With that being said, this thong may not be for the well endowed man or you may want to try the next size up and see if you get additional room.  Although the thong was tighter in some areas than I am used to, it was not an uncomfortable wear.  I wore it for errands, lunch, and chores58850269_o1 around the house.  The back of the thong felt really great and I love the extra fabric at the top that holds the top of the bottom nicely.  The thong held up well on my day and I did not feel much discomfort.  At times I could feel the tightness of the waistband but not enough to make me want to take them off.

Overall this is a great looking thong.  It is probably one of my best looking thongs in design.  As far as comfort, it would not be my #1 go to for when I want to wear a thong but would definitely be in my top 5.  If there could be a little more room for comfort in the front pouch and a slightly looser waistband, then there may be a different story.

Pros:

  • Back design
  • Signature waistband
  • Soft material

Cons:

  • Small front pouch
  • Tight waistband

2204Clever is one of the Latin brands that always creates fun collections. It ranges from classic cuts to fun colors to super sexy materials. There is something for everyone in a Collection. The collections are usually divided into swimwear, boxer briefs, thongs/jocks, briefs and tanks. It’s an interesting mix but it works for them. Under each collection you can have classic stylish cuts to super wild ones that is made out of mesh!

Here is the official description of the new line: “CLEVER rolls out yet another collection bursting with vivid South American style. This collection features a variety of sporty fabrics such as athletic mesh stretch cotton and high-stretch microfiber designed for the active guy as well as a nice lineup of shall we say flashier fabrics intended for the guy who appreciates his underwear. All in all CLEVER s approach to provide something for the everyman–that is a guy with multiple underwear needs–is wildly successful”

We are going to focus on a few of the newer swim, boxers/trunks, thongs, briefs and tanks. This will be a quick overview but not of the entire collection. To see the entire collection go to the GDD World Clever 2015-1 Page for every pair.

Let us know what you will be wearing this Valentine’s Day! Post contains an affiliate sales line for Andrew Christian.

Last night I think the Holiday party season really got kicked off. It made me think of what would be great pairs to wear to a holiday party. Now I am not one for the kitty over the top holiday prints. A few companies like aussieBum do them very well but the ones at big box stores I usually stay away from. No cartoon characters or elf prints for me.

So this got me thinking what would be 5 great choices to wear to a holiday party and be in the spirt but not be over the top. I also wanted them to be pairs you could wear the rest of the year because let’s face it wearing Merry Xmas undies in July is just sad. So I put my brain in over drive to come up with what would be 5 great pairs.

040733_61106--426_583--1028222539

1. 2(X)ist Tartan No Show Trunk 

This pair is a mainstay at 2(X)ist every holiday season. It’s just festive enough to be considered holiday but can be worn year round. The new cranberry stripe is just fun. Before they had a plaid print and a solid. I think this addition is a great one. Available at the 2(X)ist site for $24. Also available in a brief and long johns.

Unknown-35

2. John Sievers Natural Pouch Brief in Racing Red

I personally think the John Sievers line from International Jock is one of the most under rated brands on the market. You don’t hear about it much but its some of the most amazing underwear. Especially for those who have extra up front. The pair I have I just love. So when I saw the Racing Red this is perfect to wear under your holiday best. It will keep those endowed guys super happy all night and look great while doing it! The pouch is one of the best on the market, hands down. Available at International Jock for $24.95

2209 (2)

3. Clever 2209 Soccer Boxer – Green

I know we have many fans of the boxer brief and the long boxers are one of the biggest trends in men’s underwear right now. This one from Clever is perfect for wearing to a party and coming home and lounging around in them after. Made out of a sports mesh you could wear it to the gym outside of the holiday season or during your favorite sporting activity. Available from GDD World at Candyman Fashions for $31.48

Unknown-36

4. Mosdus Vivendi Masai Boxer Red 

Not everyone wants a long boxer for Holidays, they can be a little uncomfortable under a suit. The Masai Boxer from Modus Vivendi would be great under a suit for your company holiday party. It won’t give you any crazy underwear lines under your pants and has a low waistband that will keep you comfy all through the night. Plus the color is bright and festive. A tip, wear a tie that matches your undies for the holidays! Available at Modus Vivendi for 25.50€

9640_4211c

5. Andrew Christian Almost Naked Arch Jock – Holiday Collection

We had a brief, trunk, long boxer and boxer. What would the holidays be with out a jock? Not everyone wants to wear something traditional. The Almost Naked Arch Jock from the AC holiday collection would be great under jeans you would wear to any party. The pouch will give you great support through out the night and if anyone saw it it would be a conversation starter to say the least. This is a limited edition pair and is available at the Andrew Christian site for $26.93

These are a few suggestions we’d love to hear more of your choices on what you should wear or what you did wear to a party!

I am very excited to be reviewing my first pair of boxers for UNB.  Today’s pair is the Front Mesh Boxer from Clever. This pair is made of 94% cotton and 6% spandex blend for a snug fit. These boxers are available in a black/gray and green/black color combinations and feature a comfortable logo waistband. And as the name suggests, the front panels are made of mesh.  I am always a big fan of mesh in undies.

I have worn the Clever Front Mesh Boxer several times since I received them. Personally, I like to put a new pair through the paces and wore this pair both for a relaxing day lounging on the couch and some busy days around town where I spent my time on and off the metro, walking all over the city and taking a couple sit-down meetings for good measure.

With that said I must admit that I’m a bit torn about this pair. The snugness that I previously mentioned is a double-edged sword. The seat felt a little too snug, like I was always on the verge of (and please forgive the crude terminology) a wedgie and they tend to ride up on the legs just a tad and the snugness meant they did not return when I stood up. This was especially noticeable when I was lounging around my house; however, when I wore them on my more active days, I did not notice the wedgie or riding up. Not too say this snugness is all negative because this pair made my ass look amazing – seriously, I received comments.

Another detail that deserves further mention is the mesh front. As usual when mesh is used in undergarments, this promoted great circulation and kept all the equipment cool on the days that I found myself running for the train. The mesh was comfortable like a pair of comfortable basketball shorts, and while it is definitely noticeable, it isn’t so bad that I would avoid wearing them to the gym. Additionally, the construction is also very sturdy which can sometimes be lacking with mesh.

Overall, I still find myself in the middle of this review. They looked amazing but weren’t always the most comfortable which to me is a big factor.

Pros:

  • Great construction
  • Made my butt look awesome
  • Eye-catching

Cons:

  • The seat was too snug
  • Ride up on legs

Clever Moda is one of those brands that usually has very sexy but very classic. This collection is no different. This year they focus on a lot of the normal colors, Black, Grey and White. That is not all Clever also has been known for it’s mesh and new mesh is in the line up this year as well. But I hear many of you saying, I don’t want plain and average colors. Well you are in luck, they have a lot of fun patterns and prints. One of my favorites is the Zebra print (See below). Which isn’t the traditional zebra print you are thinking of by the way.

I would say Clever will have something for you no matter what your taste is in underwear. Here is what is new in the 2012-2013 line
