Clever is out with an new collection that  features over 100 styles of underwear, swimwear and tank tops that waver from sexy to sophisticated, the ideal underwear for the modern man. Infused with the brand’s signature South American style, the scale of silhouettes ranges from boxer briefs to trunks, briefs and even thongs.

Clever has never been over the top in their designs. They are more of the “conservative sexy” brand. Which means they make sexy pairs but don’t use too wild colors or designs. They look and feel great on!

This was a brief that I wanted as soon as Tim sent me the Clever Spring ’13 catalog. Clever was another brand that I hadn’t previously owned, so I was anxious to receive this, wear and review it.

The brief I am reviewing is the Desire Latin Brief. The “Latin Brief” is a name given to Clever’s most popular brief design, and because the company is based out of Central America. The  “Latin Brief” seems to be aptly applied. While Clever has a reputation for size fluctuation based on design, this XL pair (36-38) fits my 37″ waist fairly well, but they certainly don’t run big.

These briefs are made from 92% sheer nylon and 8% spandex. The cut of these briefs is somewhere between a traditional “boxy” cut and a bikini cut, not super high-rise but certainly not uniform either. The pouch is fairly contoured but not majorly so, and I prefer a larger contoured pouch generally.

These briefs are much more comfortable than I thought they might be. The sheer nylon is very wearable and the logo waistband sits nicely on the waist without any pinching or binding. Additionally, the elastic outlining the brief is very sturdy and “frames” the wearer in flattering ways, which I appreciate.

Style-wise these briefs are certainly out there. These come in two colors, black and white and I would say they are about 98% sheer with only a horizontal pattern among the nylon to “distract.” If you want to equate sexiness with style then these knock it out of the park. I tend to grade on how the cut of the brief looks on me when they are worn, not just the visual aesthetics, though I like the contrasting gold waistband with the black nylon, and I also like the silver waistband on the white version. I wish they had offered this in the color scheme of another pair in the collection of a nautical blue with a gold waistband

On the whole I think Clever really does well with the Desire Latin Brief, and I look forward to exploring more of their collection.

Pros:

  • Good Fit
  • Supportive
  • Breathable
  • Sexy

Cons:

  • Not for the everyday gentleman
  • Only two color options

  • Fit – 4

Today’s Brief Distraction is from our Annual Holiday Guide. We teased you with a picture this past week and now you get to see a preview of the pairs we shot for Clever. We are working on the behind the scenes video but iMovie is not cooperating and we will have it later this week. The guide will be released on Friday

Clever Moda is one of those brands that usually has very sexy but very classic. This collection is no different. This year they focus on a lot of the normal colors, Black, Grey and White. That is not all Clever also has been known for it’s mesh and new mesh is in the line up this year as well. But I hear many of you saying, I don’t want plain and average colors. Well you are in luck, they have a lot of fun patterns and prints. One of my favorites is the Zebra print (See below). Which isn’t the traditional zebra print you are thinking of by the way.

This is a HUGE collection and take your time and come back and read the post again! Available at retailers everywehere

 

Do you want a pair of swimwear that is unique? Something not everyone out there will have? If you said yes you need to check out the Clever Skull & Roses swimsuit we just featured in our 2012 Swimwear Guide. I initially saw this suit in February in Vegas. I was told this part of the clever line was inspired by the day of the dead celebrations.

I think it’s a pretty cool print and not one you are likely to see on everyone out there. Prints usually have less people wear them, especially in swimwear. However, this pair would definitely be a conversation starter!

  • Swimsuit low rise bikini type with drawstring waistband for good fit,
  • Medium coverage in back and cut in the front with zigzag stitching,
  • Has a modern skulls and roses print on front.
  • Composition: 84% Nylon, 16% Spandex.

Find these are your favorite swimwear retailer!

Firs thing I have to do before we get into the guide is thank the awesome sponsors above! Pistol Pete – Gold Sponsor, Clever/Vuthy & Croota – Silver Sponsors and Good Boy Gone Bad and UnderGear as Bronze sponsors! Without them this guide would not have taken place. Next, I have to thank our photographer Brian from Seven Continents Photography and our Models Cody, Christian and Juan. Our sponsors allowed us for the first time to hire models and do a shoot all ourselves. It is a big learning process and things had bumps (models falling out the week before), but we carried on and pushed forward. We think we did a great job for our first attempt and we will learn more each time!

We had over 60 suits and a full day by the lake and then a re-shoot by a pool this past weekend. It has been a blast and I hope you enjoy this guide and it helps you get some great swimsuits this year! Our Models are Cody, Juan and Christian. Please check out our Videos on YouTube Enjoy the Guide! BTW, don’t forget to check individual size charts!

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Clever Monaco Thong in white. This pair is part of Clever’s staple collection. Upon first inspecting the garment, I noticed that the construction was quite good. I really liked the logo on the 1 14/4th inch waistband and how it was tone on tone. The pouch was on the small side, yet was single-layered, so there was a little extra stretch due to the 81% Nylon, 19% Spandex material. Due to the thin single-layered pouch, the front is slightly see-through. The contoured pouch also has a front seam and attaches to the strap just under the ‘gents.’ The strap was just the right proportion, and provided a little extra coverage (if that’s possible) where it meets the top of the waistband.

My only complaint with the Monaco Thong is the sizing – Clever products run on the small side, so make sure you size up! I have a 30” waist and normally take a small, however, according to their size chart; I should have tried out a medium.

I wore this thong to around town running errands and attending brunch with friends. While the thong was the wrong size, it was very comfortable for the day’s activities.

Likes:

  • Good construction,
  • Classic design,
  • Lightweight.

Dislikes:

  • Too small,
  • Pouch could be larger.
