We won’t go into the nitty-gritty details, but if you’ve ever lived in and commuted throughout a city while the weather is extra-warm and humid then you know without a doubt your underpinnings ought to have some ventilation. As such, we culled an edit of some of our favorite briefs and thongs to help keep you going throughout the day in comfort.
