Sylvain Bauguen
Undergarments invite men to embrace sensuality and self-love, qualities that are often overlooked in conventional masculinity.
Many young men are faced with restrictive expectations of masculinity. They're caught up in an endless debate about what it means to be a 'real man'. Sylvain Bauguen offers a way to playfully experiment with your personal definition of manliness with an undergarment. Like lingerie, its purpose isn't necessarily to be revealing, but to make you feel confident. You can try it in front of the mirror or with your partner, and see how it makes you feel. The ample cut, pleats and wide fit allow the underwear to be shaped however you like. Its soft touch, lightness and overall sensitive quality are meant to help men connect with sensuality and self-love, qualities that are often overlooked in the masculinity debate.
