Dress Culture: The Birth Of Men'S Underwear Is Earlier Than That Of Women'S Underwear.

Men's underwear

Big analysis

Privacy has existed since ancient times.

Although it sounds a bit unthinkable, the birth of men's underwear is really earlier than the ladies' underwear.

Early men's underwear is definitely a model of pragmatism.

Ancient Egyptian murals - a skirt shaped cloth wrapped around the waist.

If the men's underwear is for shame, the Ozzy ice man, who was more than 5300 years ago, was dressed.

The waist belt is more like a protective device for private parts.

In those days, when the Ozzy Iceman fell dead, there was a copper axe, a long bow and a quiver with 14 arrows. Can we infer that in men's history, men's underwear is more protective clothing.

This inference is not wishful thinking, and the records of anthropologists provide us with support.

When visiting aborigines in the western highlands of New Guinea, they found that adult males did not wear anything but underwear.

The underwear of local male residents is made from hard gourd, which can avoid damaging their important parts during hunting.

Of course, there are archaeologists who hold different attitudes. The men's underwear in the real sense began in Europe in thirteenth Century. At that time, the fig leaf became Braies (a wide baggy linen underpants, long knees and a rope around the waist).

By the time of the Renaissance, the shorts were shortened and the front door was designed, so that men did not have to take off their underpants when they were small, and became the embryonic form of modern men's underwear.

The British king, who has always contributed to the development of clothing, is once again playing a role in the development of underwear. It is said that king Henry VIII brought up the trend of filling the underwear with wrinkles in order to highlight the male temperament, and became more and more popular in the following decades.
