Spruce Up Dad’s Drawers

Father’s Day has fast approached and the retail clothing market is surely anticipating the bump in sales that it brings (The National Retail Federation estimates that gift givers’ spent an average of $94 on their Father’s in 2011.) With sales like that from Dad’s biggest day, the incentive is surely there for retailers to provide great deals on men’s apparel–especially underwear. What’s more, Father’s Day is an excellent excuse to get your Dad out of those boring, high-waisted tighty whiteys.

We’ve reached out to some of our favorite men’s underwear brands and asked them what their best bets are for Father’s looking to break out of their boring underwear: take a look! Would your Father wear these?
