Men in tights: how ‘meggings’ are taking fashion by storm
Men’s tights, for so long the preserve of ballet dancers and runway models, are taking Manhattan by storm and could soon be seen on the street of Britain.
Uniqlo is already selling Meggings on its British website, and their success in New York is seen as an indication they will also prove popular here. Photo: DANCALLISTERIMAGES
When trendsetters speculated what would be the defining men’s fashion movement to sweep New York this winter, few opted for the male legging.
But “Megging”, as the male legging is known, is now all the rage in sartorial circles. Celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Lenny Kravitz have all been spotted wearing leggings, while fashion stores Uniqlo, Barneys and Nordstrom are selling tights for men.
The bad news is they are on their way to Britain: Uniqlo is already selling them on its British website, and their success in New York is seen as an indication they will also prove popular here.

“Celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Lenny Kravitz have all been spotted wearing leggings…”
So, they’re saying three fashion dorks make a “trend”?
Not bloody likely.

Who in thier right mind would want to look like this escapee from an off-Broadway revival of Peter Pan? Good news is that they don’t make them in mens’ sizes. Call me back when they make them with a 38 inch inseam.

I do have a good friend though who has a story about buying jeans and accidentally bought skinny jeans. Wildly hilarious when he admitted to liking them!
Never seen him wear them, so hopefully it’s something him and his old lady go out and do.

I’m pissed off with BFH right now because he spiked a great comment by a Blackman about the election. I am so pissed off about that election that I sometimes don’t think straight. Even Mrs. Moe is staring at me ascance. Terrible feeling. I am getting used to the couch though, got a new pillow. I’m going to have one more and I’ll hit the couch. Fuckit. Semper Fi.

Damn funny, nothing will screw up your shot more then trying to break it down and make it mechanical. It’s not, it’s fluid. Make them try and kill ducks for a couple years and they’ll figure it out.
We are in trouble though aren’t we. Where are the parents that should have been teaching these people?

No matter how much your protest… I think this is a fashion trend that will grow slowly, but it here to stay.
Men’s fashion are so conservative and have been so unchanging for so very long that it has to happen someday… something will change that.
I think you guys protest them so much because you secretly like the idea of wearing leggings just that much.
