What are "shorts"?

Shorts, also known as boxer shorts or simply boxers, are a type of underwear worn by men and boys that provide coverage for the groin and upper thighs. They are typically made from lightweight, breathable materials such as cotton, and feature an elastic waistband and loose, comfortable fit. Boxers may come in a variety of colors and patterns and may feature a button or fly opening in the front. They are designed to provide support and comfort for everyday wear and are an essential part of many men's daily wardrobes. Some men also prefer to wear boxers as sleepwear or loungewear.
