Another option missing is "all of the above". I have a HUGE underwear collection that embrace all styles, cuts designers and colours- it fills four drawers!. I wear boxers only if at home in nothing else, ie no clothing over- all that fabric riding up; bunching round the goods, ugh- so annoying! I like something slinky on occasion also, lycra etc, mmmm! "boxcut" suit me particularly well, look like 50's filmstar beach wear...v flattering
