We’ve all been there. A huge pile of laundry, no time to wash them, and suddenly, you realize that your underwear drawer is looking a bit empty. It’s an all-too-common scenario, and the solution is simple: head to the nearest department store and buy some new underwear.
Recently, I found myself in this situation and decided to visit Macy’s, a department store that is nearest to my apartment, to buy some t-shirts and some boxer-briefs. Typically, I shop online. However, at that point, time was of the essence. I went to the men’s underwear department, looking for t-shirts and boxers.
I went intending to find black Calvin Klein boxer briefs and a set of 3 t-shirts and get out of the store. At Macy´s, I did not see Calvin Klein boxer briefs. I saw Tommy Hilfiger and Nike.
I did not see any styles of Tommy Hilfiger that I liked. So, I decided to go with the Nike brand. Why? In doing my stories for this blog, I noticed many influencers wearing Nike boxers and trunks in their social media posts. I was curious to try it.
Comfortable and Durable Boxer Briefs from Nike
There were many styles in the Nike section-boxers, boxer briefs, trunks, briefs. I found a three pack of trunks, Dri-FIT Essential Micro, in the colors black, blue, and grey. The fabric composition is 92 percent reprocessed polyester and 8 percent elastane. The fabric has a soft, silky feel. The fabric is typical for workout underwear.
In addition to the comfort and durability, I was also drawn to the sleek design of these boxer briefs. They are simple, yet stylish, and come in a range of colors to suit any taste. I chose black, blue, and gray. The cost was US$45.
What is repossessed polyester?
Reprocessed polyester (rPet) is fabric made from empty plastic bottles.
Completing the Look with T-Shirts from Tommy Hilfiger and Hanes
Having settled on the trunks, I turned my attention to finding some new t-shirts. I was looking for a variety of styles and brands. I found t-shirts from both Tommy Hilfiger and Hanes, two large, well-known men’s clothing brands. In fact, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein belong to the same corporate owner, PVH Corporation. I guess that is why I could not find both at Macy’s.
I noticed that there was a five pack in the box, so I picked that one (US$69.50).
Needing some t-shirts to replace some old ones, I picked up a set of five Hanes t-shirts (US$42.00).
Conclusion
In the end, while the prices were a bit higher than I expected, my trip to Macy’s was a success. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchases. The Nike boxer briefs are comfortable, durable, and stylish, and the Tommy Hilfiger and Hanes t-shirts are perfect for everyday wear. If you’re in a similar situation, head to Macy’s and check out their selection of underwear and t-shirts. You won’t regret it!
