Meggings, Hawt!

[ihearyou2]

Guard your leggings, ladies. Because men are hopping on board the trend of wearing tight, stretchy ones as pants, too. So if they disappear from your closet this winter, you know where they might have gone.

According to an article written by the Business Insider, men’s leggings are no longer just reserved for ballet dancers and male models—they are now common among all trendsetting gents.

"'Megging,' as the male legging is known, is now all the rage in sartorial circles,” quotes the Insider. "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."

Apparently, the megging is creeping its way into fashionable men’s closets everywhere, serving as a replacement for the popular skinny jean trend that have become more common among males in the past few years.

"Male tights are so much more comfortable than skinny jeans," megging-wearer Mark Dorosz told the Insider. "I've always had good legs and it’s nice to show them off all year round. There are so many people wearing exotic clothes in New York that nobody cares about a man wearing leggings if it works for him."

And so far, Dorosz says the feedback has been nothing but positive. "Perhaps people will be laughing around this in 12 months’ time but for now they come up to me and say, 'You look awesome.'"

Don't leave much to the imagination do they?

[NancysSummerSip]

IHOP, just don't go there. I don't care if your package is so whack, it would make Jenna Jamison beg for real mercy. Just look down, smile and say, "Nope, mine are fine minus the meggings, thanks." ;D

[Sam_2.0]

HAHAHA! No way would my husband even entertain the thought of trying those on.

[Abby Normal]

Well if Justin Bieber is wearing them, they must be ok-

IDK... guys in at the RenFaire wearing crushed velvet tights are pretty hot. It's hard to resist the urge to touch.... errkk.. I'm I mean... look!

I like guys in kilts too.

A Bold and Stupid Man knows how to turn a lady's head with an appropriate turn of the leg...


FWIW: if a, ah curvy?? woman, feels fine looking like a fishing bobber in a pair of tights - I mean stretch pants... then I don't see why guys can't enjoy the same feeling.

[happyhoix]

Sorry, those just look like purple long johns.

If I saw someone out in public with those I would think he forgot to put his pants on before he left the house.

Kilts = awesomely sexy and ruggedly manly, meggings = oversized toddler in sleep pants who needs a nap.

"Celebrity weirdos" is not the same as "trendsetting gents"

If any of you guys ever go up to another man and say, "You look awesome."...........you automatically lose your man card.

I guess this is what happens when women start taking the power?

I suspect the plot against beiber has nothing at all to do with women...

Not a bad idea actually....We don't need people like him reproducing.

I tried to get my son in slimmer jeans and he was having none of it. I am dying to see if he will ever be a slave to fashion, and what those fashions might be. Maybe that grunge thing will come back. I mean - 5 more years until the 90's right. Given that today we are reliving the mid 80's:

I can hardly wait to relive the 90's.....

Oh man, I thought "meggings" was your cutesy nickname for me.

I thought this thread was going to be about you too, Meghan.

Men in tights? Jeans and Carhartts all the way. Skinny jeans, v-neck t-shirts, etc, et al ...does not appeal.

[teen persuasion]

I can see a few of the teens I know jumping on this trend, the drama teens and the jocks.

The picture just looks like the underarmour the XC kids wear for meets, esp. as the season winds down near November. It's even our school color!

A few years back, one of my drama teens was playing a Shakespearian role, and felt he had to wear tights for it. He loved the role, but the tights thing really bothered him, as a guy. He HAD to take the tights off between performances, but left the rest of the costume on.

A few months later, a different teen was another Shakes. character, but he just went on and on all night long about how much he LOVED his tights and planned to wear them all the time in the future. Yeah, it was tongue in cheek, and a reference to Romeo's fidgets, but I have since seen him in a pink tutu, a skin tight black ninja suit, etc. The ninja was a role, the tutu was not.

This is just an extension of the skinny jeans trend - I see lots of those on the boys (more than the loose jeans, lately, hmm).
