boxer-briefs

Snug leg underwear

Boxer-briefs are men's underwear combining features of boxers and briefs—the snug fit and support of briefs with the longer leg coverage of boxers.

They typically extend to mid-thigh and are made of stretchy material: He switched to boxer-briefs for running because they don't ride up.
