Is the recession finally over? Selfridges is experiencing an exciting growth in men's pants, the company has reported a year on year sales increase of 20 per cent.
In an interview with the Telegraph a spokesman for the store said that 'Underwear has become sexy, not just a necessity '. The current trend is for men to buy more fitted styles than previously, so those who used to wear boxers are now opting for trunks. Men who wore trunks have swapped to briefs. It's dominoed right down to a noticeable rise in thong and jockstrap sales - which are apparently popular with male models. Men are increasingly buying underwear to coordinate with their outfits and are now coming in to buy underwear for the weekend, something women have been doing for years.
They report that although white and black are still the most popular colours, men are far more experimental with their colour choices and are just as likely to pick out a pair in purple or neon green. Pink is the new staple colour for many brands.

West Midlands Police give ‘sensible’ underwear advice
It doesn’t look like West Midlands Police officers will be able to benefit from the great designer underwear styles on offer as they were advised to choose pants of an "appropriate colour" on duty which were "inconspicuous" under uniforms.
According to a report by the BBC, West Midlands Police officers believe they have been given a bum deal by being asked to wear sensible underwear.
Some staff have described the suggestions, which appeared on the police "message of the day" section on the force intranet, as "nannying".
The force said there was no new policy on underwear but officers had to take a "commonsense approach".
The brief was issued to staff to ensure officers "present a professional appearance to the public," West Midlands Police said.
A police spokesman said: "There's no new force policy on underwear, but all officers and staff coming into contact with the public are asked to adopt a commonsense approach when choosing what underwear is worn so they remain smart."
Some officers criticised the move in the force magazine, Police Review, with one saying "we are not a scouting organisation".
