Boxers and boyshorts: Comfortable underwear is finally trending for women

Yoawdats/wirarpa/NUFIWI

Amazon identifies women’s boxer shorts as a 'viral trend'

Are the days of thongs and similarly uncomfortable underwear behind us? Well, for now, anyway, since trends come and go. But Amazon's "Trending Now" page has identified a new viral trend: women's boxer shorts. Apparently, loose, comfortable underwear made from cotton and similar natural materials is on trend right now, and we're very here for it.

This is especially great news as temperatures continue to rise across the country during the peak summer months. There's nothing like a comfortable, flowy garment in heat like this — boxer shorts are actually kind of genius to help avoid common summer problems like sweating and chafing. It kind of has us wondering why we've never embraced them in the summer before.

In this article: Ynocfri Women Pajamas Shorts, Yoawdats Women's Y2K Lounge Shorts and wirarpa Women's Boxer Briefs Cotton Underwear

What's great about boxer shorts is that you can wear them alone — as casual shorts to complete a comfortable summer outfit. Or you can rock them as pajama bottoms or underwear. These are versatile garments that are comfortable no matter how you choose to wear them. And they come in many styles, from solid colors to patterns and from loose-fitting to skintight bike shorts that can be worn under form-fitting clothing. No matter what kind of comfortable underwear you're looking for, you can find a pair to suit your needs within this trend.
