If you have read any of my past reviews (I know it has been a while). You will know that I am a sucker for a great pair of colorful undies.  Something that makes you feel sexy and not defiantly not a afraid to show off. As I was browsing the new collection by Clever these were a pair that I just had to have. They are bright fun and being from Clever, I knew they would be super comfy.

I had the opportunity to review the Clever Sauris Boxer in the coral color, size medium. I have to say that clever delivered and then some with these. When I first saw these online I was instantly attracted to the bright coral color with contrasting blue and green waistband. So before they even came I had pretty high expectations. These came with a few other pairs that I got to review, but I was instantly drawn to these. When I first opened the package I noticed that not only are these bright in color.  But they have almost a mesh like fabric which gives it that little extra punch of sexy. I have tried mesh undies before and haven’t always been a fan, but the fabric was very soft and very stretchy. The waistband is you standard 1.5 inch and is blue in color with the Clever logo in bright green. They have a thin blue piping around the front pouch and everything is topped off with a bright green stitching.

I have worn these a couple times already and they have defiantly moved to my “favorite undies” side of my underwear drawer. They are great to wear all day and for pretty much anything that I can think of. They held up great for me at the gym and were great to wear to work. The fabric is very flexible and moves with you no matter what you are doing. The front pouch is very roomy and didn’t feel like it was crowding my package at all. I also thought that these did a great job of showing off my butt.

The only concern that I might have with these undies is the fabric. I love everything about it, but it feels very thin and I am not sure how long it will hold up. I have washed these multiple times already and so far the fabric has held up, so I hope it continues that way.

PROS:

  • Bright and fun Coloring
  • Comfortable to wear all day
  • Excellent support both in the front and the back

CONS:

  • Thin fabric that might wear out.

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 10
  • Sizing – 10

  • Dailey Performance – 10
  • OVERALL – 9.8

Clever_5248_Black_1

We all want underwear that few other people have in their collection. When a limited edition pair comes along its snapped up fast! Clever has one of those pairs right now and the best part it’s under $15. This is an amazing deal since so many limited edition pairs are at a higher price point.

This pair has a classic look that Clever is known for. The black banded waistband compliments the blue/black striped fabric. The pouch has the stripes forming a chevron pattern with black trim. Its a limited edition pair you could wear daily. It’s not wild and too crazy.

Let’s face it if you’re wearing UNB you love stuff that is different. How often can you say that you have a pair very few people have in their underwear drawers! This is one that you can have at super low price. Under $15 on a regular pair is a great deal but on a limited edition pair is a no brainer!

The Limited Edition Brief and Boxer are on sale until the stock is sold out! The two specific pairs on sale are the 5248 for the brief and 2248 for the boxer. How do you get this pair for the great price? You have to use code CleverLimited at Clevermoda.us site.

I have to say that I am really pleased with what Clever has been doing with their new collection. I know I have been out of the review cycle for a little while. It is nice to see a company that can take a solid color and make it fun and sexy. That is exactly what they did with the Morelo Latin Brief.

I had the opportunity to review the Clever Morelo Latin Brief in coral. It is in a size Medium and for being a brief, I thought this was a good choice. I pretty much will wear anything when it comes to styles of underwear, but the brief is not always at the top of my list. So I was a little apprehensive when I first saw these. The color is great. I think coral is my new favorite color when it comes to undies. But was not sure exactly how these would fit. I usually wear a size Medium across the board. When I first took these out, but mind went directly to the, these look a little small.  I better spend an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill if I want to fit into these. But once I put them on, I was really surprised.

The fabric is a 48% polyester 48% Nylon and 4% spandex mix. So they are super stretchy and it’s like these undies just conformed to my body style. The bright coral color with the blue stitching and piping along the hips was fun and sexy. With the way these fit, they took my butt and gave it a nice shape to the point where even I was like “DAMN”. The front pouch is a little tight as well and that would be the only reason why I wouldn’t recommend these for an “all day” or gym pair of undies.  but if you are going out for the night and want to wear something that adds that little extra bit of sexy under a pair of jeans or shorts, these are totally a pair worth looking into. The waistband is black with a contrasting Clever logo. The waistband is very soft and comfortable.

PROS:

  • Fun Coloring in both Blue and Coral
  • Excellent support in front and back
  • Great fabric that moves with you

CONS:

  • They are tight fitting so would suggest order up a size

RATEINGS:

  • Daily Fit – 7
  • Sizing – 8
  • Construction/Materials – 10

2241 (1)Clever really has stepped up its game when it comes to finding great fabric and fun colors and patterns. I and usually up for anything that is brightly colored weather it is a solid color or a pattern. When I found out that I was going to have the opportunity to review the Clever House Boxer. This pattern had me intrigued.

I am reviewing the Clever House boxer in a size medium.  I don’t think I can say enough great things about this pair of undies. They are fun and bright, they fit great and they can be worn for almost every occasion. From the wide and crazy geometric pattern to the solid blue wide elastic logo waistband.  These are a pair that I think everyone should have in the underwear drawer. So let’s start at the top.

The wise logo waistband is super comfortable and soft. I usually don’t like wider waistbands, but this one didn’t bother me at all. The waistband sat perfectly on my waist and wasn’t uncomfortable at all. The main  fabric is a 90% polyester 10% spandex microfiber blend.  It has a little bit of a shiny element to it, and is very comfortable. It stays in place and provides an amazing body defining fit. The front pouch is very roomy and with the stretch fabric, it moves with you all day. The way these are stitched in the back also give your butt a defining lift which for most guys is a defiant plus. Now to the pattern… Even I thought this might be a little crazy for me, but I really like it. The geometric pattern is fun and with all the contrasting colors. It makes for a great look that is fun without being obnoxious. I have worn these a couple times now and have loved every minute I have had these on. The one thing that I would recommend against, since they are a 90% polyester blend.  They aren’t the best to wear while you are at the gym. The fabric doesn’t breath a well as a cotton blend would.  Once you get out of the shower, these are my go to night out on the town pair of boxer briefs,

PROS:2241 (2)

  • Contrasting geometric pattern is fun and sexy
  • Excellent support in front and back
  • Great fabric that defines your body and moves with you

CONS:

  • The 90% polyester fabric doesn’t breathe the best.

Review (1)

For my third review, I wore the Clever Custok Latin Brief in blue.  I own a thong by Clever that I love so I was optimistic going into this review from the start.  The pair comes in three colors (Blue, Gray & Green) and retails for $28.48 on the Clever website.

The mesh-like fabric felt sporty and sexy so I wore these on a long day that would really test them.  When I put them on that morning the first thing I noticed was the great color(s).  While mainly blue, there is a gray pouch. The red waistband with yellow/gold lettering and fun, contrast stitching.   After a long work day at the office, I ran some errands around town and even went for a jog.  These briefs really got a workout and held up great!  I forgot I was wearing them for the most part, which for me is a sign you’re wearing a great pair of underwear.

When it comes to sizing, these do run a bit small as their own sizing chart indicates.  So there shouldn’t be any surprises.  The medium fits a 30-32 waist and being a 31-32, they worked for me but certainly didn’t leave much extra room.  If you’re on the larger end of your size spectrum, you might go up one size.

The fabric is 73% nylon and 27% spandex.  Which gives this pair great stretch. With a cut that definitely shows you off the perfect amount and offers great support.  The seam going up the back defines your butt which is a blessing for those of us that can use all the help we can get!  The bright colors were in an unusual combination that made me love them even more.  Definitely not your typical briefs.

PROS

  • Colors
  • Great fabric
  • Sexy but practical cut/style

CONS

  • Fit may be a bit small for guys who are super well endowed in the front or back
  • Not inexpensive (but typical for designer underwear)

RATINGS

  • Daily Fit – 10
  • Sizing – 8
  • Construction – 10
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 9.6

New Swimewar (1)Just because summer is coming to a close for us in the Northern Hemisphere doesn’t mean we can’t have have some great new swimmer. There is always that winter cruise or trip to Mexico to go on. These trips do require new swimwear to wear. Clever comes out with two lines of swim a year, every spring and fall. The new collection was just released and here is whats new at Clever!

The new Clever swim has some really great prints. They range from bright and fun to more subdued and classic. Clever has always produces great swimwear. This collection there are fewer new swim briefs. Don’t let this worry you the classic briefs are still in the collection.

0592 (5)

So what is in the new Collection? New is the Iftay Swim Brief in White. It was available in blue but the white is pretty hot. The trim is Navy with a hint of red and makes it pop. Some out there are afraid of white swimwear, but if it’s fully lined you won’t be showing off everything on the beach.

0593 (1)

Do you want to stand out on the beach? If so the Clever  Tikal Swimsuit Trunk will do just that and more! The Green print is bright and tropical with a peach waistband. The short come mid thigh so it’s not too long and the cut that is most popular right now. You can wear this to the beach as your suit or as a cover up for a swim brief.

0594 (1)

Another swim trunk is the Clever Coba Swim Trunk. This one is similar cut to the Tikal but is in a print that is a little more toned down. It’s a blue almost chevron print. It still has the bright tropical colors but not as over the top as the green print. Again this one can be worn as your main suit or a cover up!

0595 (1)

Do you want a print but don’t want to go over the top? The Tulum Swim Brief is the suit for you. The two colors available are Blue and Black. It’s a fuller cut brief that has a very subtle print on it. It’s not going to scream “LOOK AT THE PRINT” but definitely will accent the the body. The solid waistband makes this more of a classic pair.

0596 (1)

Speaking of prints, the Laguna Swim Brief has a blue/teal print that is perfect for any tropical location. The brief has the traditional full cut that Clever is known for, so you won’t show off everything but the print will definitely draw attention to you. Its a very fun print as well. This is probably my favorite suit out of the collection.

0597 (1)

The last pair we are going to cover is the Clever Guarulhos Long Swimsuit. This is for the guy who loves a longer suit. It is either in solid white or black and comes to just above the knee. It would be a great cover up for a skimpier suit. But we know different guys like different kinds of swimwear so it’s great to have options.

These are all available through Macondo Trading and on the Candman Fashion site.

9002 (6)UndiesMonday is all about wearing what you love! Its not that you have to wear a fetish pair, a thong or mesh. It’s about wearing underwear you feel great in wearing. Embracing your personal style and loves. Then making sure you wear a very good part on a Monday. Why not make Monday a better day by wearing something that makes you feel amazing!

This week’s pair we are profiling is the Clever X-Long Boxer. Like we said above not everyone is going to want to wear something skimpy. Other guys love boxer briefs and longer underwear. Long boxer briefs definitely offer some advantages over other pairs. They can give you extra support in our legs. I tend to wear them when I”m going to be very active. The tight material makes me feel better while doing more strenuous activities.

Long Boxer briefs are very sexy too. This may sound like a contradiction for me. However, I love how they make the legs look. A guy with great legs will look amazing in these. Especially if you have bigger thighs. It shows off the development without giving the whole package away. Not all guys like showing if all off, they like to leave some to the imagination.

The Clever X-Long Boxer come just above the knee. They are made out of a 94% cotton/6% spandex blend. The pair will definitely give you some support and conform to your body. Available in 4 colors; Black, blue, green and white. You can find this pair at the Candyman Fashion site for $28.48. Check out all the pairs!
