This was in the 1970's, we had to do what we were told at school and took it for granted at home. 120 0f us would gather before school rugby in 8" navy shorts and no underwear. (and rugby shirts),
In those days I had a pair of navy bri-nylon square cuts for swimming. I hated them and wouldn't have wanted them under my shorts.
The other 2 runners were wearing short shorts and tee shirts too.
I used to wear a tee shirt or woollen jumper while rock climbing, we had to belay too and a rope around bare skin pulling suddenly would burn.
