Meggings - Do any men actually wear them?

    I'm just curious, have any men worn them? Or any women seen men wear them? Or is it just one of the pieces in fashion that are looked at and commented on, but never worn by anyone but the male model groups of men?

    Here's an article and some pics http://hapsical.blogspot.com/2008/11/trend-alert-male-leggings.html

    Not criticising or anything! Just genuinely wondering! :)

    Lol sorry i didn't mean the leggings that some runners wear when they're training. I meant actual fashion meggings.

    this is one fashion trend that i think the name surpasses the pure stupidness of the trend.

    if i was a woman i'd love them on men, they'd tell me to stay the **** away from an absolute ponce that has no package.

    I'm all for boys making an effort, but I'm not really convinced on this trend.
    I have a problem with leggings being worn as pants at all, some women can pull it off, but I doubt many men can. None of the ones in that link could, except possibly the man sitting down.

    This "trend" and that name are never going to happen

    I'll see your "Sweet Baby Jesus" and raise you a "Sweat Devine Mother of Saint James's Street"

    WTF are these people thinking or not thinking. Next they'll be telling us that Cod-Pieces are back in fashion. :rolleyes:

    Seriously - something snapped somewhere along the line...

    I've said it in relation to men wearing Uggs and I'll adapt it here for 'Meggings':

    Any man that would wear these 'meggings' doesn't deserve to call himself a man. It's as simple as that.

    The frightening thing is that out there, somewhere, there is a "bloke" thinking "oh, they look cool", and will trod the streets in this attire. I hope I don't meet him.
    Ghastly !

    I can see the emo boys being into them. It'll give the rest of us a good laugh.

    ew they look a big ghey to be honest


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,063 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    No, just no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭xOxSinéadxOx


    they definitely won't catch on, I mean look at them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,905 ✭✭✭Aard


    I like them. Especially the Martin Margiela ones in black (below right are in silver).


    I don't think they work with a tucked-in shirt, but otherwise they look great. Oversized tops go well with the skinny bottoms (below left).

    Because you're sensible. Unfortunately there are lots of non-female people who will wear them.

    Everyone is entitled to one fashion fúck up faux pas in their lifetime. So, any boys/men out there who are thinking that these leggings will look look good on you I beg you to reconcider and don't waste your 'Get out of jail Free' card on these hideous things.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.
