Modus Vivendi – men's underwear and swimwear with a very Greek accent…
Another of the great designer brands made in Europe and sold on Deadgoodundies.com, Modus Vivendi is about more than underpants, more than fashion, more about the male way of life.
Hugely popular since its launch on DGU, Modus Vivendi remains a top seller, in particular its famous low cut briefs, men's tanga briefs, low rise boxers, classic mini and micro bikinis and jockstraps. And that's just the male underwear – there are swimwear tangas and low rise micro swimmers too.
The year is punctuated by brilliant new collections featuring MV's fabulous fabrics, amazing pouches, signature waistbands and that dash of Greece in every pair. In underwear think metallics, faux leather and suede, transparent mesh, camo and animal prints, stripes and velvet as well as luxury stretch cotton and the smoothest seamless cotton. Modus Vivendi designer swimwear for men on DGU focuses on perfect tanning partners – low cut bikini slips and tiny tanga trunks.
Our hunky male model wears an example of Modus Vivendi's hugely popular low rise briefs and shows us a Modus Vivendi Eggs Tanga Brief (£19.50). This stretch cotton men's underwear slip has a narrower 2.5cm branded waistband. Eggs pants are available in black, white, yellow, aqua, or pale fuchsia pink and every pair comes in a re-usable transparent case like a Christmas bauble.
GREEK LEGEND
The Modus Vivendi brand for men was born in 1989 in Thessaloniki in Greece, created by Christos Bibitsos 'wanting a more tailored approach to men's underwear'. What he offers is a new experience in male underpants and men's swimwear, all designed and made in Greece.
Inspired by Greek history, people and places, Modus Vivendi has a particular look that really flatters the male form. Softness and comfort are paramount but that doesn't mean they're not adventurous with surface finishes. Following their hugely successful mohair line, Modus Vivendi have added manmade fabrics that mimic leather, suede, denim – even chainmail!
They are masters with gold and silver metallics, mesh, animal prints, velour, sparkle and shine. But their cotton creations are no less special, providing ample support in underwear a man can really feel he's wearing, plus of course their totally seamless cotton brief and short.
Christos Bibitsos wanted to design more than a fashion collection, he wanted to inspire a way of life for modern men around the world, to set new standards and produce timeless but contemporary underwear and swimwear for men.
Elegant or edgy, subtle or sexual, Modus Vivendi just gets better and better each season.

Impetus underwear for men might not be a brand you know well - yet - but that means you have something special to look forward to.
These are men's thongs, briefs and boxers made in Portugal to the highest standards of design and engineering. Yes, engineering because each line in the Impetus collection is intricately planned and executed by world famous experts.
Impetus don’t just make premium quality men's underwear to be worn for work, leisure, sport and more, they create male strings, mini briefs and boxers in three lengths - maxi trunk, short and longer leg pants - with a purpose in mind. More later on quick dry Voyager, cooling Innovation and sporty AirFlow underpants…
But first, why is Impetus manufacturing in Portugal so special? Well, the Portuguese have a reputation around the world for brilliance with textiles. This company was launched in 1973, making underwear for men and women before moving into much larger textile production. Today their Looms can produce 3,700,000 seamless garments each year, plus 125,000kg of elastics!
Whether they are producing Cotton Stretch or Cotton Seamless, Tencel Lyocell or Outlast products, Impetus have a remarkable eye for detail and construction. Not just how their male underwear looks but how it washes, feels, performs and lasts. Impetus's remarkable innovative fabrics are used to create versatile collections in classic solid colours, beautiful prints and wonderful finishes, in single pairs and twin packs.
DGU's Adam Davies comments: "Impetus underwear for men has to be worn to be fully appreciated. Especially if you're a man looking for the right boxers or briefs for travel, strenuous exercise, even going from hot to cold environments comfortably during your day.
"For Deadgoodundies.com Impetus is the go-to brand for repeat buyers who shop with us for the brand's thongs as much as their mini briefs and boxer briefs, including the harder-to-find longer leg shorts that cover the whole thigh," he said.
"Impetus can be a brand for life for any man who wants original, durable, quality underpants from a collection he can trust to come up with the goods year after year."
WHAT TO BUY:
Impetus Travel Premium – as the name implies this breathable range is designed for men on the move, using Tencel Lyocell made with an ecological fibre extracted from eucalyptus, which is more sustainable than bamboo.

A new reason for men to be sure their underpants are clean and presentable -
Snickers' new video is short, sweet and spot on when it comes to the importance of the right tighty whities.
There are no statistics on how many chaps working from home have been caught accidentally revealing their favourite men's underwear, but there must be hundreds. Don't forget your knickers, or your Snickers, now we're back in a face-to-face world…
And if you seek pure white male boxers or briefs, Deadgoodundies always offers hundreds of choices. We even have a special section for cotton underwear for men, from classics to fashion designs - every one a daily luxury.
If you go full Y-front, make sure they're smart pants - here's the Jockey Classic Y-Front Brief in 100% cotton, just £7.50 a pair on black, white, silver grey or azure blue on DGU.

Right is Doreanse 1379 String tanga brief underwear for men, just one of many offered by the brand.
Men's tanga underwear - flattering shape and fit, perfect balance of cover and skin, superb comfort and great support. Male tanga briefs and thongs are hot stuff at DGU.
If you love male tanga underwear and swimwear then Deadgoodundies.com is the place to shop because our online store always has a huge selection of this chic, sporty, low rise men's marvel, updated regularly from world famous brands.
A tanga brief or tanga thong underwear or beachwear for men has a specific look – horizontal waistband, no fabric at the sides and a neat pouch. In a slip underpants design there's also good bum cover that looks like a male micro brief from behind, while men's string underwear tanga options offer even more room to manoeuvre. In the sun a tanga creates the best tan lines!
Tanga underpants' shape allows maximum movement without restriction, also providing comfortable and reliable containment and support. For gents who like the feel of a brief but the freedom of a thong, this is a great hybrid.
The tanga is a great underwear choice for a man who has to stay comfortable during hot weather, strenuous training routines or gentle exercise like yoga, or just wants everyday comfort. Many guys like the airy breathable feel of a tanga under a suit.
Now DGU brings together not just the men's tanga briefs that brands call tanga, but others that sit and fit like a tanga, in a new bespoke section on the website.
Most male tanga thongs on DGU, especially swimwear, feature the ultra low rise fit and a narrow waist elastic, though a handful have the more familiar deep waistband used on the majority of men's tanga briefs.
MISS THE SLOGGI BASIC TANGA? REPLACE IT HERE…
The Sloggi Basic Tanga was a phenomenon, even in the world of men's tanga briefs. Sadly, the underwear brand decided to discontinue the design and didn't replace it.
Tanga fans will have their own ideas what serves as a worthy substitute for the Sloggi Basic, but here DGU rounds up some best sellers.
If you want the same shape as the original Sloggi, go for a tanga with a shallower waistband and cotton fabric. Shop HOM, Impetus, Modus Vivendi or Olaf Benz tanga underwear for men for the best successors.
5 OF THE BEST TANGA BRIEFS FOR MEN
HOM Classic Tanga Brief (£18.00) in soft cotton modal fabric is a worthy best seller.
Modus Vivendi Eggs Tanga Brief (£19.50) in stretch cotton is low rise, with a narrower waistband, served up in a transparent egg like a Christmas bauble.
Olaf Benz RED 1950 Rio Tanga Brief (£25.00) is another narrow banded design, this one in silky, single layer fabric. Watch for the Rio name to find other male slips the same shape in the Olaf Benz collection.
Joe Snyder Polyester Collection Kini 12 (£23.00) is one of the tiniest tanga briefs in a super sexy low rise, minimalist shape. Fast dry fabric means this tanga can double for swimming!
Obviously PrimeMan AnatoMAX Bikini Brief (£23.00) with its anatomical pouch is cool in luxury, eco-friendly Lenzing micromodal. In classic and fashion solid colours, or stripes, each choice looks different because the waistband design varies per style.
Doreanse 1313 Elegance Silky Brief (£10.00) might come at a budget price, but there's no compromise on quality. Great if you like a deep (4cm) waistband on your tanga.
4 BEST TANGA THONGS & JOCKS FOR MEN
Ergowear Max XV Thong (£23.00) is just one example of the famous ergonomic men's underwear brand's beautiful enhancing male tanga thongs and briefs.
Sukrew Garrison Jockstrap (£15.99) – enhancing men's underwear in a stunning silky scarlet has one of the deepest tanga waistbands at 5cm.
Doreanse 1379 String (£10.00) is a really minimal design, again one of many tanga choices for men from the brand, designed and made in Turkey.
Joe Snyder Sheer Mesh Active Wear V Thong (£26.00) is again just one example from a brand that does tangas rather well – check out the balance between the deep waistband and pronounced pouch.
9 BONUS TANGAS…
Sometimes tanga men's underwear offers a little extra – dual use as undies and swimwear, great tan lines, drawstring tangas for the beach, colourful or chain waistbands, strappy sides, glitter waistbands and men's lingerie lace…
Joe Snyder Shining String 10 Bikini (£20.00) in ultra-fast dry fabric can double as a men's swim brief. A distinctive white waistband makes this male beach tanga stand out from the crowd.
Modus Vivendi Sun Tanning Tanga Brief (£47.00) – this brand always has lots of choice for tanga fans in men's underwear, plus some tanga swim briefs.
Manstore Beach Club M962 Micro Tanga Brief (£33.00) and Manstore M859 Beach Micro Tanga (£26.00) are men's swim briefs with a drawstring in a lovely deep waistband. If you want bold colours, these are the go-to styles to buy.
Manstore M857 Micro Tanga (£44.00) has a different take on the familiar styling – with chain sides! One of several chain link designs in the Manstore collection.
Modus Vivendi Peace Tanga Brief (£25.00) is a great choice for tanga aficionados who wear this shape of underwear most days. In cotton with a colourful striped waistband, this one is a masterpiece of Greek design.
Olaf Benz RED 1804 Rio Tanga (£31.00) underwear for men opts for a fresh take on the waistband look with a split dual strap effect that add bags of sex appeal.
Modus Vivendi Spring Fest Tanga Brief (£26.50) is a gift of a tanga in silky cobalt blue fabric with a silver glitter waistband. Celebration underpants if ever we saw some (and they do something special like this every season!).
Joe Snyder Lacy Tanga Thong 03 Limited Edition (£20.00) has the horizontal tanga fit if not the traditional waist elastic. Still a rather sexy option.
Modus Vivendi Mohair Tanga Brief (£20.50) feels like real mohair but is created from a washable feelalike fabric in grey, off white, camel or deep blue.

Thank you Mr Deedes of the Daily Mail for one of the best, most comprehensive – and accurate – articles on men's underwear for many a month.
We were delighted to see his feature today and read of his own horror at (a) the hideous raggedy undies apparently stylish men will still wear and (b) that a third of adult males still let Mother buy their pants!
Deadgoodundies.com would, of course, have loved to see a mention of the ease of buying male underwear boxers and briefs online, in particular from DGU, or Thomas Clinch menswear whose survey (and lovely posh loose boxer shorts) inspired Deedes' tale. But we appreciate Mr D also mentions that some chaps, him included, can feel a little intimidated by seeing underpants on a male model.
We call on DM readers and Henry Deedes' fans and followers to take his advice and revamp their underwear selection. It doesn't have to be all at once. Make a start with a pair of pristine cotton boxers or briefs and wait for the desired effect. Deedes explains how it all works!
PICTURED: The Sloggi GO Short 3 Pack at £33.00 is an affordable adventure into boxer briefs. Offered in SEVEN colour combinations, including all white or all black, these men's shorts are ultra comfortable in durable 96% cotton with 4% elastane for a perfect fit. One choice in literally hundreds of men's cotton underwear briefs, boxers and more on Deadgoodundies.com.
