The best day of the year is coming—that’s right, it’s about to be National Underwear Day!! It’s a worldwide celebration of all of the wonderful comfort and support our undies provide. A day of body positivity, stylish skivvies, and fun, it’s a blast to celebrate.
So grab your mens boxers, thong underwear, or hipster panties and let’s get to celebrating! I’ll give you a little history of the day and the best ways to celebrate, so you can have the ultimate National Underwear Day 2024.
Founded in 2003, National Underwear Day was originally a viral ad campaign that promoted body positivity and fostering a healthy self-image. It’s about celebrating our most supportive clothing items as much as it is about celebrating the bodies in them!
There are so many messages from the media that only “perfect” bodies should be seen and celebrated. National Underwear Day challenges that. It’s for people of all shapes, sizes, and underwear preferences.
I think that’s a holiday worth celebrating! So grab your favorite pair of undies and I’ll show you the best ways to ring in National Underwear Day 2024!
There are so many fun ways to celebrate National Underwear Day—from underwear parties to reorganizing your undies drawer to trying some new styles out! Whether it’s your first time observing the holiday or you're looking for some new ways to celebrate, check out the following ideas.
I’m of the mindset that the best way to celebrate any holiday is to learn more about it. (Yes, I was the kid who got excited for research papers, why do you ask?) So, let’s learn some fun things about our humble undies:
Now that we’ve learned some fun facts, we’re ready to celebrate National Underwear Day even more!
Your undies do so much for you—support, protect, caress—but do you ever do anything for your undies? If not, National Underwear Day is the perfect time to start.
To show your underwear that you care:
Is it national underwear day if you’re not treating yourself to a new pair (or three) of undies? Especially if you’re getting rid of your old, beat up pairs, it’s the perfect time to grab some new ones.
Of course, for those of us who follow a sustainable, minimalist clothing lifestyle, it's important to avoid fast fashion brands that are bad for the environment. Instead, stick to sustainable underwear made from fabrics like hemp or organic cotton.
National Underwear Day is the perfect day, in particular, to try new styles. If you’re always a mens boxer briefs guy, check out another one of the men’s underwear types like mens briefs or trunks underwear. Women’s underwear styles range from full coverage boy shorts underwear to skimpier thong underwear.
Try a pair outside of our comfort zone and you might just be surprised with your new fave style! Also, there’s no harm in trying some pairs made for another sex. I love sleeping in men’s boxers because they’re soft, flowy, and stretchy enough to really sprawl out. Check some out!
You can’t celebrate something without knowing where it came from! A key part of the slow fashion movement is knowing how your clothing came to be. An important part of that is knowing who is making your underwear—from the people who harvest the raw materials to the workers who sew tirelessly.
The clothing industry is known for unfair labor practices and unsafe factory and farm environments. Make sure you’re celebrating all aspects of your underwear by ensuring you’re buying from brands that are transparent about their practices and how they treat their employees.
Here are some ways to find out more:
At its roots, National Underwear Day isn’t just about celebrating underwear. It's also about celebrating the body in that underwear. So put on your most confidence-boosting undies and celebrate that gorgeous body of yours!
There’s tons of ways to celebrate your body in the comfort and privacy of your home. Here are some ideas:
Or take to the streets and celebrate it even more publicly! No, I’m not suggesting that getting an indecent exposure ticket is a great way to celebrate.
Instead, here are some ways to celebrate your body with others:
As a person who loves nothing more than being organized, I always celebrate National Underwear Day with a good old fashioned underwear drawer clean out! Learn how to organize underwear for easy selection on groggy mornings. And make sure they’re folded properly so you can grab and go!
With any pairs that are too old or ill-fitting for you to keep, reuse, recycle, or donate! .
What to do with old underwear? You can:
When you’re cleaning out your underwear drawer, you’ll probably come across a few pairs that don’t fit well or are basically threadbare.
It might sound a little gross initially to donate underwear, but here are some reasons why you should:
Are you on board with underwear donation now? Great! Here’s where to donate underwear:
I know it’s called National Underwear Day, but that includes bras in my opinion! Celebrate all of your undergarments by wearing your favorite and comfiest bralette like the triangle bralette or racerback bralette. Bonus points if you wear a matching set!
