A classic brief design elevated by luxe fabric and a flattering fit.

The SKIMS Stretch Briefs feature a traditional brief silhouette that’s elevated with luxe modal fabric and smooth, stretchy, body-hugging fit.

These briefs deserve a round of applause for their clean seamlines, which create a chafe-free feel and a near-invisible layering experience under clothing.

Smooth fabric feel and a stretchy body-hugging fit give a polished appearance.

They also sport an enhanced pouch that comfortably supports your natural shape while maintaining a streamlined appearance.

And their elastic waistband features a jacquard SKIMS logo and a soft, velvety feel that sits comfortably without digging in.

We also appreciate the inclusive sizing range, which runs from XS up to 5XL, making these high-quality briefs accessible to men of all sizes.

Lightweight stretch fabric that comfortably molds to your body.

The standout feature of the SKIMS Stretch Briefs is their signature modal stretch fabric, which comfortably molds to your body while retaining its shape throughout the day.

The fabric delivers an exceptionally soft and luxurious feel against your skin, immediately setting these apart from other basic everyday brief options.

Signature modal stretch fabric provides a full range of motion while retaining shape.

We’re also impressed by how well these briefs allow for a full range of motion while maintaining a smooth, non-bunching fit that holds up during extended wear.

These briefs feature a plush modal and elastane fabric blend.

The SKIMS Stretch Briefs are crafted from a fabric blend of 91% modal and 9% elastane.

You’ll immediately notice just how soft and smooth the modal fabric feels against your skin and has a slightly more luxurious feel and look than other modal fabrics we’ve tested.

The soft modal fabric has a luxurious feel that's also lightweight and breathable.

The added elastane provides comfortable stretch, allowing the briefs to move naturally with your body.

The garment care for these briefs is machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, tumble dry low, cool iron if needed, and do not dry clean.

These briefs stay comfortably in place while seamlessly moving with your body.

Wear these briefs for elevated everyday comfort.

The SKIMS Stretch Briefs are an excellent option for style-conscious individuals looking to elevate their everyday underwear without sacrificing comfort or function.

These are a great option if you’re looking for a brief that can do both: Hold up well when you’re on the move and transition seamlessly into lounge mode when you’re not.

Stretchy leg hems help to maintain a sleek and polished appearance.

Also, if you’re in search of a traditional brief silhouette that provides an untraditionally more flattering fit, these should top your list.

And if you prefer luxe fabric blends and simple yet stylish monochromatic designs, these will likely become a staple in your rotation.

These SKIMS Stretch Briefs are an everyday wear laying dream.

Avoid these briefs for workouts or very snug layering.

While these briefs provide the perfect amount of support for everyday wear, they’re not designed for workouts or other high-impact physical activity that requires more targeted support and structure.

These briefs are also great for layering under typical everyday clothing but might not hold up as the best choice when worn beneath particularly snug pants.

So, if a maximum support brief or an ultra-low-profile brief is your priority, these come close but don’t quite fit the bill.
