Y-fronts

Inverted-Y opening briefs

Y-fronts are men's briefs with a Y-shaped seam at the front, forming an overlapping fly opening.

The term is primarily British: He stood there in nothing but his Y-fronts.

The design allows access without lowering the underwear.

Y-fronts has become somewhat generic for men's briefs in British English.
