As for the "fashion" thing, Fruit-of-the-Loom calls all men's briefs that are not tightie whities "fashion briefs." I guess if you ran around in your undies, they'd be more fashionable than plain white ones, but I don't do that. My wife calls them "undapants."

My mother told me to always have nice, clean underwear on, in case you got in an accident or something and got taken to the hospital. My old ones were definitely not hospital-ready.
