Let’s face it—finding the perfect winter base layer or cold-weather training gear for men is no easy task. Most options are either outdated in design, stiff in feel, or completely lacking that all-important sex appeal. That’s where Ergowear steps in to rewrite the rulebook with their latest innovation: the MAX BOLD Pouch Leggings.
Two-in-One Versatility
Why choose between long johns and sports tights when you can have both? These leggings are built for performance and everyday wear. Whether you’re layering under jeans on a chilly morning or hitting the gym on a brisk afternoon, they adapt seamlessly to your lifestyle. Think of them as your go-to for both warmth and style.
Next-Level Comfort with the MAX Pouch
The standout feature? Ergowear’s signature MAX pouch. Engineered in a nose-shaped, 3-dimensional design, this pouch gently lifts and supports your package without the typical tight, restrictive feel of most athletic tights. The ergonomic shape ensures everything stays in place—no constant adjusting, no awkward compression. Just pure comfort and freedom of movement.
Engineered Fabric That Works With You
These leggings are crafted from a custom-made polyamide/elastane microfiber blend that checks all the boxes:
Soft to the touch
Quick-drying for high-performance wear
Highly elastic for a second-skin fit
This smooth, dual-sided fabric eliminates friction when layered under pants or denim, making them perfect for day-long wear.
Details That Matter
The design features a bold, satin-finish waistband—measuring 50mm wide—offering both style and support. With the Ergowear logo on the front and isotope symbol on the back, the waistband is made from durable, soft fibers that won’t shrink or lose shape over time.
Why You Need Them
These aren’t your dad’s long johns. The MAX BOLD Pouch Leggings are designed for modern men who want warmth without sacrificing style or support. Whether you’re wearing them to train, lounge, or layer—they deliver performance and confidence in every situation.
Shop the MAX BOLD Pouch Leggings now at UNB Store and redefine what winter underwear should feel like.

It’s back the Fire Island Thong at N2N Bodywear. This is a modern classic for N2N, the side buckle is iconic at this point. They made it a bit more sexier and fun turning it into the little black thong all guys need to have. Check it out before it goes.
I love it when a company makes a statement like this, “Men can wear leggings too. And I’ll show you that with this new drop.” LVW is making work out gear and is encouraging all men to wear leggings. This is a message I can 100% support.
Are you looking for singlets more on the “fun” side and less on the athletic side? If so one brand that is making some skimpy and fun singlets is Gruff Pup. They have mesh, zippers, and fun cutouts that make them fun to wear.
I’m being a little nostalgic with this throw back Thursday. This is the first big shoot I did with UNB. This is our UNB Swim guide in 2012. I hope I can do more shoots soon
one thing I love about Kapow Meggings is they aew showing guys of all sizes should wear spandex. We need to celebrate this and support all guys willing to wear spandex
MODUS VIVENDI unveils Floral Lace Line & the “Laced Portrait” Campaign – FW26 Collection
MODUS VIVENDI proudly presents the Floral Lace Line, a bold and evocative addition to the FW26 Collection that celebrates the art of fearless self-expression. Step into a world where sensuality meets individuality, where elegance is paired with audacity, and where clothing becomes a medium for rebellion.
The Floral Lace Line is crafted from elasticated, semi-transparent knitted floral lace, combining delicate sophistication with a provocative edge. Sheer and diaphanous, the collection plays with light and movement, creating silhouettes that blur the lines between traditional notions of sensuality and modern fashion-forward design. Darkly poetic and fluidly seductive, the line is a tribute to individuals who embrace creativity without compromise. From underwear to apparel, each piece flirts with lingerie conventions, reimagining them in a contemporary context that is unapologetically daring.
Inspired by the raw sensitivity of the contemporary landscape, the Floral Lace Line captures the tension between fragility and strength. The fabric’s transparency speaks to vulnerability, while its structured form and bold patterns convey confidence and audacity. The collection is designed for those who see fashion not merely as clothing, but as an extension of identity — a canvas for self-expression, rebellion, and personal storytelling.
The campaign, “The Laced Portrait,” brings this vision vividly to life. Featuring a striking portrait of a man enveloped in layers of lace, the imagery captures the interplay between concealment and exposure, elegance and provocation. The photograph reflects the collection’s ethos: sensuality intertwined with artistic expression, dark poetry, and a fearless approach to personal style. Each image in the campaign serves as a statement, inviting viewers to engage with fashion as a form of narrative and rebellion.
Through the Floral Lace Line, MODUS VIVENDI continues to push the boundaries of contemporary fashion, merging craftsmanship, innovative materials, and conceptual design. This collection speaks to those who dare to challenge convention, who celebrate individuality, and who wear their creativity as boldly as they live it.
Born and crafted in Greece, MODUS VIVENDI is a brand that proudly carries the essence of its homeland in every collection. Drawing inspiration from Greek history, culture, and classical artistry, the brand reflects the elegance and symbolism of Hellenic heritage through modern design. From the use of traditional motifs such as the ancient meander to the dedication to authentic craftsmanship, MODUS VIVENDI stays true to its roots while shaping contemporary men’s fashion. Every piece is Made in Greece, a testament to the brand’s enduring connection to its origin and its commitment to preserving and celebrating Greek identity on a global stage.
With a playful balloon animal print and a sleek satin finish, this men’s brief brings attitude and comfort together in one sexy package. The front pouch is contoured with a center seam for definition and support, while a seam down the back ensures a shapely fit. A wide Body Aware waistband at the hips keeps everything secure, and the stretch satin fabric feels smooth and lightweight against the skin.
It’s back! The super scandalous DEEP DIVE ONESIE II! This new onesie has a bold contrasting black placket adorned with buttons that go down… WAAAAY down. Show off as little or as much with this one. Wear a thong or jock or hell, go commando! Hell yea!

MODUS VIVENDI proudly announces the arrival of its FW26 Collection, a seasonal journey that brings together timeless heritage, innovative design, and modern sophistication. Each release in this collection will unfold a new story, exploring how culture, craftsmanship, and contemporary aesthetics can merge into everyday wear. The first line to debut is the Linen Line, setting the stage for the collection with its understated elegance and natural authenticity.
Linen Redefined
Linen has long been admired as one of the most breathable and skin-friendly fabrics—a material woven into history for its purity and resilience. MODUS VIVENDI elevates this timeless textile with a premium elasticated linen-blend fabric designed for the needs of modern life. Soft to the touch, hypoallergenic, and moisture-wicking, the fabric ensures superior comfort while keeping the skin cool and dry.
The knitted construction enriches the fabric with flexibility and durability, allowing it to adapt effortlessly to the body’s movements. This blend of nature and innovation makes the Linen Line an ideal choice for men who demand both performance and refinement in their everyday essentials.
The Line
The Linen Line includes a curated selection of briefs, boxers, and comfy shorts, each crafted with a regular fit to offer gentle support without compromising on comfort. The waistband design is a signature detail—featuring the ancient Greek meander motif, a decorative symbol of unity and infinity that elevates these essentials into pieces of cultural significance. This subtle yet powerful element connects contemporary men’s underwear with centuries of Hellenic artistry.
The Kallos Campaign
To celebrate the launch of the Linen Line, MODUS VIVENDI presents the Kallos Campaign. Inspired by the Greek concept of “Kallos,” meaning beauty that radiates from both form and spirit, the campaign portrays a man immersed in his morning routine. This visual narrative reflects the essence of the Linen Line: simplicity, balance, and elegance in everyday rituals.
The campaign emphasizes how true sophistication is found in harmony—between body and mind, between comfort and style, between heritage and modernity. Just as linen has been cherished for centuries as a fabric of natural grace, the Kallos Campaign highlights its role in shaping a lifestyle that is both authentic and refined.
Greek Heritage at the Core
At its heart, MODUS VIVENDI is a brand deeply rooted in Greek heritage. Each collection pays tribute to the cultural richness of its origins while presenting designs that resonate globally. The use of the meander key design in the Linen Line is more than an aesthetic choice—it is a continuation of a classical legacy, reimagined for today’s world. By incorporating this iconic motif, MODUS VIVENDI bridges past and present, uniting ancient symbolism with contemporary style.
The Linen Line is more than underwear—it is a statement of tradition, comfort, and cultural sophistication. As the first release of the FW26 Collection, it reflects the brand’s ongoing mission: to redefine men’s essentials through the fusion of premium materials, elevated design, and timeless artistry.

MODUS VIVENDI: Born in Greece | The Brand Identity
In 1989, in the heart of Thessaloniki, Greece, MODUS VIVENDI was born. Not yet as a global fashion house, not yet as a name whispered across the world, but as a dream—a dream rooted in the heritage of a country where art, beauty, and philosophy have always been celebrated.
From its earliest steps, MODUS VIVENDI was never simply about underwear, swimwear, or apparel. It was about redefining how men express themselves. It was about bringing confidence and sensuality into everyday life. It was about honoring the body, much like the ancient Greeks did, with garments that felt both timeless and modern, both bold and elegant.
Greece at the Core
Everything begins with Greece. Our light, our history, our art. The marble sculptures of antiquity, the columns of temples, the harmony of proportions—all of these live within the DNA of MODUS VIVENDI. To us, fashion is not just fabric. It is philosophy. It is culture. It is identity.
Each design carries with it a piece of Greek soul: the purity of lines, the warmth of the sun, the freedom of the sea, the depth of our history. MODUS VIVENDI is Greece translated into fashion—heritage meeting modernity, past reimagined for the present.
The Journey of a Vision
From a small boutique in Thessaloniki, our journey expanded across the world. What remained constant was our devotion to individuality. MODUS VIVENDI became a space where people could feel seen, celebrated, and free to express themselves.
Over the decades, we grew, but we never abandoned what made us unique: our in-house craftsmanship, our superior fabrics, our custom patterns, and our storytelling. Every thread is intentional. Every detail matters. Every campaign is a story—about freedom, love, diversity, and the courage to live life your way.
More than Fashion: “The Way of Life”
MODUS VIVENDI is not only a brand. It is a philosophy. Our very name means “way of life,” and this is what we offer: a celebration of lifestyles, of identities, of the human spirit.
We believe clothes should not only cover but also empower. They should not only fit the body but also embrace it. Each garment is an invitation: to stand taller, to feel confident, and to express your truth without hesitation. To live authentically.
Our campaigns are more than visuals; they are narratives. They speak of desire, strength, beauty, and individuality. They remind us that style is not what you wear—it is how you live.
The Heart of Craftsmanship
What makes MODUS VIVENDI distinct is our devotion to craft:
Superior Craftsmanship: Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring aesthetics meet durability.
Greek Heritage: Every design is influenced by the artistry, history, and cultural depth of Greece.
Premium Fabrics: We prioritize Greek cotton and other high-quality materials, known for their softness, breathability, and long-lasting comfort.
In-House Production: With a short, controlled production cycle, we guarantee top quality while maintaining ethical and sustainable practices.
Perfect Fit: Customized patterns are tested on real bodies to achieve an impeccable fit that flatters and supports.
Storytelling through Visuals: Our campaigns are not only about garments—they are narratives, expressing freedom, identity, and style.
A Commitment to the Future
In a world of fast fashion, MODUS VIVENDI chooses another path. Sustainability is not a trend—it is a duty. We upcycle, we reduce waste, we choose eco-conscious fabrics, and we create garments meant to last beyond seasons. Because fashion should not only look good today—it should still matter tomorrow.
Our Invitation
MODUS VIVENDI began as a vision in Greece. Today, it is a global movement. But no matter how far we travel, our heart remains rooted in the land that gave birth to beauty, proportion, and philosophy.
To wear MODUS VIVENDI is to embrace more than a garment. It is to embrace a way of life. A philosophy of confidence, sensuality, and authenticity.
We invite you into our world. Into a story written in Greek light and told through fabric. Into a philosophy where fashion is more than clothing—it is identity, freedom, and life itself.
