In recent years, the market for men's underwear has rocketed and all the big names, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren have been competing against each other to come up with the best look and most comfortable fit. Advances in fabric technology and the introduction of microfibres such as modal, mean that the ubiquitous baggy Y-Front of yesteryear has long been banished to the fashion dustbin. Nowadays, the discerning male has the choice of a plethora of underwear styles and colours to suit his shape and his lifestyle; contoured sports briefs, brightly hued snug trunks, roomy boxers and monochrome jersey shorts - there's something for everyone.
The recent increase in popularity in men's undercrackers has been reflected in the advertising campaigns. Emporio Armani recently used the Beckhams in a his 'n' her campaign and this season, premier footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is their face (or body). Calvin Klein has long been known for celebrity endorsements, from Marky Mark with Kate Moss, to Freddie Ljungberg and male supermodel, Tyson. However this season, they have surpassed themselves with not one, not two, but four celebrity models. Kellan Lutz from the Twilight film series and True Blood's Mehcad Brooks join forces with sports stars Fernando Verdasco and Hidetoshi Nakata to represent the global appeal of the brand. While over at Dolce & Gabbana the internationally renowned model, David Gandy is the protagonist representing their Pure, Sicily Rib, Day by Day and Sport Crest underwear ranges.
With a new generation of brands such as Diesel, Aussiebum and Bjorn Borg joining the ranks of the more established brands, this once neglected area of men's apparel looks set for a bright and constantly evolving future.
Visit the brand new men's underwear department on the Lower Ground Floor of our Knightsbridge store. Men's underwear is also available in all our stores and our online shop.

It's getting to that time of the year when you need to pack away those dark heavy clothes and get ready for the light and bright season ahead. Hence, we are delighted to announce the opening of the new Completely cool and effortlessly wearable, Rick Owens menswear is new to Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge for spring and joins Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs and many others in the International Department. Owens is renowned for his master pattern cutting skills and for designing clothes that move freely with the body. The Californian designer is now based in Paris and has been clearly influenced by the athletic attitude and high fashion noir of both these settings to create looks that are edgy, fresh and timeless. Updated classics dominate his Spring/Summer 2010 collection with asymmetric leather jackets, elongated tank tops and drawstring shorts. "I try to make clothes the way Lou Reed does music - with minimal chord changes" Owens says. "It's about a worn, softened feeling. It's about an elegance tinged with the barbaric, the sloppiness of something dragging and the luxury of not caring." The designer's tough aesthetic is completed with industrial zips, bold cuffs and his signature body conscious fabrications. Rick Owens is available at our London store. Above; leather jacket £1545 Rick Owens. |

With his directional, award winning womenswear, accessory and fragrance collections, as well as his role as Creative Director of Louis Vuitton it's amazing that Mr Jacobs even has time to design menswear. But judging by the results of his latest collections for us chaps, he has given us just as much consideration for spring as the ladies. Starting with the mainline, all the key fashion pieces for the season are there, executed with the signature Marc Jacobs attitude of relaxed fashion authority; the denim jacket, this time bleached and fitted; skinny jeans, perfect for maintaining your rock star credentials; the motorbike jacket; in cotton drill for our blazing summers: the pop art print, you'll have lipstick on more than your collar with these striking shirts & T-shirts; the tuxedo jacket, to add glamour to the mix and finally the how-can-you-live-without-them chinos. Marc by Marc Jacobs, the 'younger' line (although I can't see why there would be an age limit on his plaid shirts and relaxed jeans) explodes for spring with a fusion of American preppy, Grunge rock and Scottish Fair Isle knitting. The ubiquitous motorbike jacket is reworked in chunky ribbed knitwear, tartan shirts are clashed with Fair Isle knitwear, and nu-rave fluorescent hoodies stand off against the glow in the dark logoed t-shirts. So all in all, whatever your fashion predilection there's bound to be something to float your boat sartorially from Mr Jacobs this spring. |
