Are Tighty Whities Making a Comeback?


I would say yes. From David Beckham to rap artists, tighty whities are making a comeback. With the explosion of the internet and more and more white briefs wearers come out proudly wearing their tighty whities has added more the escalated interest in tighty whities. More and more men know and understand why white briefs look and feel better to wear. It is no longer a "nerd" thing to wear them as now nerds also wear boxers, so placing a nerdy stereotype to those of us that wear white briefs is no longer, well... funny. Many girls have also come out in favor of tighty whities as sexy to wear. But still there is a block of individuals who are resistant and have created communities on the internet to oppose tighty whities, as they see them as "oppressive." That's funny. Being that these were the same people in many of our high schools stirring up peer pressure and submit to the underwear police and wear the boxer or else suffer the consequences (bullying, wedgies, humiliation)... oppressive aren't they? They are today's underwear gestapo.

Now we even have teens resisting peer pressure and are proud of their white briefs. Yes, we have made great strides. And now the tighty whitey is making its comeback. In the media, in movies, in blogs like this one, and even in video games, tighty whities are not thought of as puny little underwear for pre-pubescent boys but as normal undergarments for a normal society of men. Bottom line, white briefs are just damn sexier on a man and that plays a really huge role on this tighty whitey re-ascendancy. And that is a good move forward.
