The moisture wicking fabric it's made from actually pulls the sweat away from your body and locks it into the fabric. After a good 3-6 months of wear at the gym, that tshirt or undergear starts to smell the moment it heats up, regardless of how well washed it is. Most men seem to have drifted back to basic cotton tshirts.<br /><br />In terms of the jock, I personally still wear them. The thigh-choking leg bands of the moisture wicking (aka odor absorbing) shorts actually feel more constraining then freeing. The boys may need support, but compressing everything else just feels like more of a deterrent on squat day than a benefit.Matthttp://sewstrong.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-16570392914392254582012-06-22T11:01:03.275-04:002012-06-22T11:01:03.275-04:00I DO need to get out more! ;)I DO need to get out more! ;)Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-16861147326444451092012-06-22T09:05:36.283-04:002012-06-22T09:05:36.283-04:00So not with the 21st Century !

I own a few pairs of suspenders and bowties, and I always get a ton of compliments when I wear them. Surprisingly, jockstraps are becoming popular everyday underwear for guys. I know of a few guys that wear them as everyday wear. They're not like the straps of old, but are actually very comfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-54377940047007667452011-05-22T05:42:28.546-04:002011-05-22T05:42:28.546-04:00Im from Aussieland as well, and I bought my son a ...Im from Aussieland as well, and I bought my son a pair of cufflinks for his formal which he loved.<br />He bought his best friend a pair of "autobot" from transformers cufflinks for Christmas last year, and bought himself a pair.<br />Sadly, his friend didnt survive til Christmas and was buried in them, with my son wearing the other set to his funeral. he then gave them to his friend's family as a keepsake.<br />Cufflinks are popular here for sure.Mrsmandymoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639291158907890335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-49461895534216472332011-03-17T19:20:55.970-04:002011-03-17T19:20:55.970-04:00Dancers wear jockstraps/support otherwise bits kee...Dancers wear jockstraps/support otherwise bits keep moving when the body stops. lycra tights are a bit too revealing without them.<br />great site<br />cheers<br />wardrobe ladyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-61166712197338244132011-03-16T08:50:39.336-04:002011-03-16T08:50:39.336-04:00I'm from way down south (in Sunny Australia) a...I'm from way down south (in Sunny Australia) and here I see a lot of cuff links both in jewelers shops and on cuffs and I adore them. Bow ties are almost ubiquitous for more formal occasions but my obstetrician wears them every day to work, as does a surgeon I know and a local music teacher (he also goes for the leather elbow patched tweed jacket look). My dad wears a bright red one to "black tie" events which I put down to a deep subversive streak. I see suspenders a fair bit too and I have to say that worn right, and by the right man they can be very attractive. My 2 year old son has a pair too and they are very cute. Someone mentioned tie pins and clips. My brother who is a student doctor has just announced his preference for these. Apparently they keep the tie from dangling on the patient during examinations. Of course said brother also collects and wears hats... he has even been heard to describe himself as a "young fogey". I suspect he yearns for a smoking jacket. Perhaps I'll have to make him one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-65136636956979692822011-03-12T12:09:47.514-05:002011-03-12T12:09:47.514-05:00As @lizajane pointed out though, bowties are out a...As @lizajane pointed out though, bowties are out and about on Southerners, for which I'm grateful. They're adorable! I didn't understand braces 'til I saw how good a fitted suit looks with them. The bulk of the belt is gone, and if the suit is slim and has a vest, it's wonderful for the lines. <br /><br />P.S. I love how the comments for this have become a place for women to inquire about the things they didn't know (but always wanted to ask) about how jock straps work/look.
