♛Silk boxers, usually, in bright colors and wine red. Briefs, among certain company, too. Neutrals, black, grays, pastels. They can emphasize the natural features in a very appealing way. I like the feel of taut cotton. I like the sound it makes when it’s ripped. Some nights, I prefer nothing at all.
…And who says lingerie isn’t an option? Because it very much is.
Most men would simply wear a simple large shirt tucked into breeches.
Some men wore linen drawers if they could afford them, which were more or less just thinner breeches.
Because of all the layers of clothing, breeches (knee-length capris) opened in the front without having to actually drop them or undo the waist. Their width at the knees often buttoned tightly to stop stockings from rolling down if the garters at mid-thigh didn’t hold.
Put on some clothes, Lestat! Those scenes where Lestat is just wearing a shirt and breeches? Technically he’s only wearing underwear! Usually even at home, a proper gentleman (like Nicolas) would wear a banyan (an East Asian-inspired robe). When going out, a gentleman would wear a tight frock coat.
All of this goes out the window for the Third Estate, who pretty much only owned two sets of clothing for their entire lives.
(I’m lazy so I’m only answering the 4 you asked about)
Lestat: has an extensive intimates collection and loves shopping for more, even in the ladies’ section, often charming other shoppers into critiquing which colors and styles look best on him. Thongs for daily use, definitely; they also make for another ‘bait’ when stalking prey (when homophobic bad guys see that whale tale they’re more easily drawn out into an alley…)
Armand: silk boxers, usually, in dark gemtones to set off his complexion. He likes it when Daniel buys them for him. Occasionally he’ll wear cotton boy-briefs, especially in summer, when the silk feels too clingy.
Louis: he wore all the appropriate layers as he had done in life, after turning, and that was a ton of clothing. Modern day? merciful-death has convinced me that he now goes commando and I can’t disagree. His jeans are all very soft and worn-in, and he likes the feel of the cloth. Lestat likes this preference, too.
Marius: had been a commando guy in life and for many years after turning, currently he prefers boxer-briefs, gray, which he buys buy the pack bc they often end up painted on. He can be found painting wearing only his underwear; even in abandoned buildings, should the muse take him. He will wear silk boxers when sharing his bed with a lover, but seldom gets more creative than that.
