It was a night of great music and fun as we rubbed elbows with everyone from Hailee Steinfeld and Angus Cloud to Noah Centineo, Ross Butler and more—and we got the chance to ask the team at Pair of Thieves all about what makes them different from the competition.

What makes Pair of Thieves different from other underwear brands out there?
Pair of Thieves: We make basics a lot less basic! Pair of Thieves underwear and socks are all about fashion-forward style and all-day performance, offered at a great value. We like to have fun, and hopefully that comes across in everything we do!

Thinking of the innovative way Kendrick has woven different genres of music into his albums, the causes he's been able to rap about are really impressive. We like to think that we are also weaving in different patterns and styles to a category that some may consider "boring" or mundane. In addition, we really try to weave give-back opportunities into our brand storytelling as well through our "Good Fits" initiatives.

SH: Is there one Kendrick track that especially fits the Pair of Thieves ethos? Which one, and why?
Pair of Thieves: All his songs are unbelievable, but the one that stands out for us is "Compton." Our company was founded in Los Angeles and our founders met in California. Our bear logo is representative of the bear on the state flag. We can relate to the pride he feels for his city.
