I love the tomboyish charm and all-day comfort that boxers bring to an outfit, whether they’re stand-alone bottoms or peeking out of baggy jorts. But the wrong pair can quickly verge into what Strategist writer (and noted boxer fan) Chloe Anello calls “a bad Risky Business costume.” J.Crew’s are the perfect pair, Anello says. While technically pajamas, she says they really don’t look like them — especially if you wear a shirt that covers the label on the front. She’s worn hers on dog walks, out to dinner, and to doctor’s appointments and coffee shops. “Not only have I received more compliments on them than any other (actual) shorts I own, but they are also easier and breezier to wear in heat than any other shorts I own,” she says. And you can, of course, wear them to bed.

Right now, a few pairs of boxers similar to Anello’s are half off as part of J.Crew’s Summer Kickoff Event (a.k.a. its Memorial Day Sale). I like this longer striped pair (great for those who like more coverage) that’s made from the same breezy cotton-poplin fabric and is just $25. But if you prefer less length, the shorter style is available in three solid colors — navy, white, and sky blue — for $20. And heads up that J.Crew Passport Members get an additional 15 percent off their purchase through May 27, so sign up (it’s free) before you check out.
