Its a made-up holiday created by Freshpair, a company that sells underwear. No surprise there.
But the underwear industry has really grown in the last 40 years. For men the choices used to be boxers or briefs. Usually cotton. Usually white for briefs, and solid or benign prints for boxers.
Nowadays there are literally hundreds of sellers of men's underwear, each with lots of varieties. Boxers, briefs, boxer-briefs, bikinis, string bikinis, thongs, jocks. In every color and color combination you could want. Fashion underwear is a multi-billion dollar per year industry.
Then there's all the 'novelty' and fetish underwear. Cotton, polyester, nylon, mesh, spandex, latex, lycra, and leather.
Things have certainly changed over the years, so maybe there's a real reason now to celebrate National Underwear Day.
How will YOU be celebrating?
