Calvin Klein-Most Popular Brand

Out of all the brands of underwear in the world, Calvin Klein ranks as one of the best. The brand has been around since 1968, and has been bringing consumers stylish, comfortable, and overall good quality underwear. Calvin Klein has been producing many different models of boxers, trunks, and briefs.

Since I personally prefer briefs, I will mostly be discussing about Calvin Klein briefs. Now Calvin Klein can be found in nearly any department store. One of their more popular locations is Macy's. Macy's offer a wide variety of Calvin Klein's products, including the company's brief line. The most common brief sold by Calvin Klein is the white or black classic brief multipack.

At Macy's and most online underwear stores, the price for this pack usually goes for $24.50. That may seem a bit pricey, but sales history shows that 3 pairs of underwear will sell for that price. My collection of briefs doesn't include a single Calvin Klein classic brief for the simple the brief is too uniform and lacks pizazz.

So we now have two important questions here: "Is there more than the Calvin Klein classic briefs?" and "Can I purchase Calvin Klein underwear at a cheaper price?" To answer the first question, it is yes. Calvin Klein carries a multitude of brief style collections to fit your personal needs and desires. Each of these collections carry their own unique trait, some of which other companies do not even offer. Currently in stores, you can find these brief collections:

Of all the collections, I own just two hip briefs from the 365 collection. I chose this collection for two particular reasons. One, they fit somewhere in between a lose rise brief and a classic brief, which is good for both showing off one's body and underwear at the same time (Made 95% cotton and 5% elastane). Second, the 365 collection offers the most variety in color, pattern design, and print. They do run a little loose after a few times wearing them, but still keep that nice shape to your body when worn. I bought the one on top straight from a Calvin Klein outlet store at the MSRP of $18. The one on the bottom only cost me $10 at Daffy's.

Let's move on to the second question, "Can I purchase Calvin Klein underwear at a cheaper price?" The answer is an obvious yes. Most, if not all, underwear can be bought cheaper in discount department stores or online. The best places to look is ebay.com or stores like Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and/or Daffy's. Just a quick example, at Marshall's, the earlier mentioned $24.50 multipack cost only $9.

Finally, I'd like to end this post with a quick review on a pair of Calvin Klein trunks that I own. They are from Calvin Klein's Steel collection. The material is very soft, made 94% cotton and 6% spandex. The trunks make both your crotch and buttock bulge and stand out. Simply, they make you pretty sexy. As much as they do look good on a person, I have a couple of issues. One is the big waistband. Sure it may look nice, but can hurt the lower belly if you are bent over or if your stomach hangs over the waistband. My other issue with them are the leggings being too tight. The spandex that keeps the leggings firmly attached to the thighs can cause a little discomfort when walking for a while.
