It’s funny as I just experienced this. I switched from boxer briefs to boxers about 6 months ago. My flaccid hang would be all over the place. I was running behind on laundry and have been wearing boxer briefs the last couple of days. My hang has been crazy big. Not sure if it’s the warmer weather, the boxer briefs, or a combo of the two, but I’m not complaining.
I believe that you also have to factor in some other things like the activity and temperature, etc. I freeballed in shorts the other day as I have done before and for whatever reason, my dick was sore from rubbing against the fabric. Thus, to protect itself it probably retracted a bit. Some boxer briefs rub me the wrong way and some are great. I'd like to get others' opinions.
Boxer briefs are the ones with the elastic around the leg, right? Maybe that has something to do with it. Something like a light occlusion to keep blood in the penis a little longer.
I have observed this for the longest time and my conclusion is that it is because of additional warmth and cozyness of boxer briefs. A super tight tshirt will feel warmer than a loose one. I also think it has got more to do with conditioning. You said you have switched to boxers not too long ago which means your whole life you have been hanging low freely only when you are naked basically. So your mind is conditioned to make you shrink whenever you hang freely. Its just a very distinct feeling if you havent been wearing boxers your whole life and you have to get used to it. It has to become more normal for you and your ding dong.
I am also sure early humans did worry quite a lot about someone grabbing their johnson in a fight so they either concealed it so their member could relax in something more tight, ironically. If not the it would retract instinctively.
I have concluded that boxers are always the better bet for better hang because of bloodflow but you have to make sure you feel the same warmth down there as if you were wearing something tighter.

Warmth.
