drawers

Dresser's sliding boxes

Drawers are undergarments covering the lower body—what Americans now usually call underwear or underpants.

The term sounds old-fashioned or humorous today: He stood there in his drawers.

Drawers is also simply the plural of drawer, the sliding compartment in furniture: She rummaged through the desk drawers.
