Black Briefs – The Wardrobe's Basic Colour

Short answer: Black briefs are the most useful basic colour in the underwear drawer. They are discreet under dark clothes, handle frequent washing without looking worn and go with just about everything. In soft bamboo viscose you also get comfort to match the colour's practical advantages.

Why black is the safe basic colour

Black hides wear and discolouration better than light colours and is invisible under dark and patterned clothes. That makes black briefs a sensible foundation you can add other colours to. Take a look at the black styles in the range of bamboo briefs.

When is black not the right choice?

Under white and very light clothes, black briefs can show through. There, nude styles work better. For everything else black is hard to beat. Find more options in bamboo underwear for women.

Matching black bra and brief

How to keep black briefs black

Wash at 30-40 degrees with similar colours and skip the tumble dryer so the colour does not fade. Our washing guide for bamboo clothing has all the details.
