Modern pop culture seems incredibly preoccupied with the underwear worn by female models and starlets, so much so that it's often easy to forget that men's underwear has its own fascinatingly diverse history.
如今的流行文化总是过度关注女模特或女明星的内衣,以至于大众很容易就忽略了丰富又精彩的男性内衣史。

With this in mind, YouTube channel The Scene is telling the story of the long history of men's underwear in an impressive new video - and is using a stunning female model to do it.
带着这样的想法,YouTube的The Scene频道推出一则令人眼前一亮的视频。该视频通过一位美女模特的表演,讲述了男性内衣的悠久历史。

重回当代:这则新的随着时间推移显示变化的视频中,一位金发女模特展示了过去历史长河中男性内衣的不同种类。

视频开头:最初的内衣就是缠腰布,当时世界上大多数国家的人都会穿缠腰布,因为他们不赞成腰部以下赤裸。

为激进的男性设计:为了使得自行车运动员在多石道路上骑行时能够保护下体,一名设计师为芝加哥一家运动品牌公司设计了护身三角绷带。

On the move: The popular boxer shorts were invented to replace the leather belts.

Mixing it up: These undergarments were so named because they offered support similar to that of the jockstrap with their tight fit.
