OddBalls Featured in GQ: Best Men’s Underwear Brands to Buy for Every Body Type
We’ve got big news: OddBalls has been featured in GQ’s “Best Men’s Underwear Brands to Buy for Every Body Type.” As the UK’s go-to for fun underwear designs and everyday comfort, we’re thrilled to be spotlighted by one of the most trusted voices in men’s style.
GQ's Verdict?
“For the pattern lovers, there’s no competition.” - and we couldn’t agree more. In their round-up, the editors featured our Polka Dot Boxer Shorts and Tartan Bamboo Boxers as top picks and highlighted our wide range of styles and designs across boxer shorts, briefs, trunks, and even women’s styles - priced between £8-£40. Basically, if you love colour, character, and quality, you’ll find your perfect pair here at OddBalls.
“The antidote to all the grayscale options.”
Why GQ Loves OddBalls?
Across multiple GQ features, OddBalls has been called “an utter goldmine of stimulating patterns and designs”. Recognised as the best boxer briefs and boxers for pattern-lovers, GQ described OddBalls as “the antidote to all the grayscale options” - a brand that “backs patterns and garishness above (nearly) everything else”.
They spotlighted our bold tartans, camouflage, stripes, psychedelic prints, and playful designs like ‘Enchanted’, ‘Fat Cow’, and ‘Peace & Love’, proving there’s truly something for every personality. Or as GQ put it “OddBalls is, well, odd. If you’re looking for something outside of grayscale, OddBalls is an utter goldmine”.
And for those who can’t get enough? GQ even shouted out our underwear subscription, calling it a “handy service to keep your bizarre boxers coming”.
From breathable cotton to soft bamboo blends designed for all-day wear, our underwear is built for comfort, fit, and fun. Every pair is built with supportive waistbands, stay-put cuts, no-itch labels. With sizes and fits for every body type, you’ll find something that feels just right.
