‘D’ is for down under – down inside those trousers!
Radio 4 reported on the great return of men’s Y Fronts. 2015 is the 80th anniversary of this undergarment for men and apparently there has been a massive surge in sales in the last year. Debenhams are reporting a 35% increase alone and men in Norwich and Ipswich are really embracing Y Fronts as the new preference of undergarments.
For a long time now boxer shorts were the trendy option – and comfortable cool and light to wear, made of cotton and there were a huge range of designs in every shop from practical Marks and Spencer to gift shops along London’s Oxford Street.
Possibly Jack Duckworth of Coronation Street gave the Y Fronts a frumpy bad image with his matching string vests and broken specs and they were seen as the undergarment of old men.
Where can you buy a trendy pair of Y Fronts?
