Granted, I wouldn't normally admit this, but seeing as how it's Sexy Underwear day and all bets are off, I'm going to confess that I have a special soft spot in my heart for J.Crew men's plaid boxer shorts. They're simple, they're soft, they're basic -- and at $16.50 a pair, they're pretty inexpensive.

So why even mention them on Sexy Underwear Day? Well, when I walk around the grounds of the University of Virginia and I catch a glimpse of a plaid poking out from the top of a pair of khaki shorts, my heart starts to melt. As much as I like to complain about the juvenile shenanigans of the undergraduates in Charlottesville, the sight of their plaid boxer shorts also take me back to a simpler time, when life was easy, and all I had to worry about were the cares of a happy, but totally boy-crazy, co-ed.
