    I was going to get the brown Gorals, but my wife convinced me to get white ones, which would normally be totally out of my comfort zone, but they are actually great. They fit like a glove, and as I have a wide foot, they also make a wide fitting. They break in nicely, too.

    This is really great advice. I think my struggle is that I like a wide range of stuff and it doesn’t always mix and match well so I end up buying extra items to make those items “work”. But maybe I should make up my own styling rules rather than making myself look acceptable by society’s standards. Some work for me to do!

    A late question, I know, but hopefully you'll see this! I'm considering getting the same Gorals as you (so yes, the colour you chose is ace), but wanted to get your thoughts on comfort, especially when walking around all day. I usually wear leather shoes (rather than sneakers) and boots, and while these are great for everyday use, they suck for walking around all day as I discovered recently.

      I’ve been wearing these multiple times a week for 18 months now and they’re really comfortable! If anything they’re more comfortable now they’re properly worn in. They’re obviously not as comfy as a squishy synthetic alternative but if you’re coming from boots and dress shoes I think you’re in for a treat.

(hopefully stuff that isn't too expensive and doesn't look awful after five washes) - I don't really fancy the 'sweatshop' option from the likes of Tesco, Asda etc or paying through the nose for several pairs of (also sweatshop) 'snazzy' Pierre Cardin boxer shorts from TK Maxx, thanks Roland.

Underwear wise I’m a big fan of Pico’s boxers, and rozenbroek have a really great selection! definitely not cheap but I’ve found them to be cheaper than ‘luxury’ brands like you mention that are the same cheap supermarket stuff with a different label in. And they’ve held up extremely well through the wash etc. Hope that helps! Sam
