Chicago, Illinois
A Northalsted boutique for designer men's underwear and swimwear.
Egoist is a men's underwear and swimwear boutique on Halsted in Northalsted, next door to the North End bar and open since 2010. It carries more than two dozen designer labels — names like 2eros, PUMP!, Cellblock 13, Supawear and Barcode Berlin — across briefs, boxer briefs, jockstraps, thongs, mesh, swimwear and activewear, plus casual shirts and shorts. The selection runs from everyday basics to bolder statement pieces, with staff who know how the fit differs from brand to brand. Egoist also stocks what it tags as #GayEssentials — lubricants, cockrings and accessories — which makes it a quick one-stop shop a block into the Halsted strip.
