Point taken! When women in the 1960s started to wear mini skirts and skin tight jeans, such garments were considered to be extreme and provocative at the time, but not nowadays. Likewise, meggings/leggings for men will eventually become mainstream fashion.

I don't believe it will become main steam fashion, and it doesn't need to be fashionable, you should wear what you want to wear, it's YOUR individual style, and that's grand.

The whole style V fashion argument I guess.

I might be wrong, maybe all the men will be walking into pubs wearing these in the next couple of years, but I doubt it.

It's not that unusual to see lads wearing running tights out and about, sometimes under shorts, sometimes not. Are they going to the gym or a match - who knows?

I wear leggings this time of year when out running under shorts due to the weather. Never heard of 'meggings' till this thread. They are leggings, end of.

Agreed leggings is what they are.

When I was growing up, leggings were outerwear rain trousers you wore with a rain coat when out in bad weather/cycling to school in the rain etc.

I'm a bit skeptical of OP's promoting of leggings/meggings as mainstream as the tone/repetition of his posts suggest it's a fetish/turn on for him to wear them. Saying that, the super skintight jeans lots of guys wear now would have been considered inconceivable 10 years ago. I know guys who used to make fun of lads who wore skinny jeans when they first came out....but are now also wearing skinny jeans themselves!! Fashion is a strange concept. Kids will be looking at their dads in pictures in years to come and roll around the floor laughing at how tight their jeans were...same way we laughed at photos of our dads wearing flares back in the 70s!

That's only if they can even pick their fathers out in the pictures, given this generation of young fellas are trying their hardest to be identical clones of each other

If you were to tell me ten years ago that in ten years time I will be wearing leggings I would have laughed at you but here I am. I wear leggings cycling, running and sometimes to the gym. On occasion I have worn them in a casual scenario like going shopping or to the cinema. However when wearing them I always make sure I have a longer shirt on. I think this is a must. I don't see the big deal . Clothes are clothes. Like you have said fashion IS a strange concept. I like leggings because they are comfortable and I will continue to wear them.

Why the hell not? After all it's not the first time that men have worn tight lower clothing. Look at the hose of the late 14th/early 15th centuries (that outraged certain people too, I believe ) and the tight doeskin breeches of the late 18th/early 19th centuries...Mr. Darcy's time.

Totally agree, why should men be ashamed to show off their lower bodies? Tights were first worn by men in the past, so why not again! Personally, I wear my meggings out shopping, socialising and travelling without any negative reactions. So guys, don't be shy and get into skin tight meggings. You will love the feeling of wearing them and the admiring glances from females!

At present, Penny's have a range of workout/running leggings for men. I have worn them and they look good and feel good to wear.

Well, many apparently are. As in so many areas, American influence in he area of fashion and dress has an influence and American men are notoriously averse to displaying any part of their lower bodies (not so with the area above the waist, though) as can be seen by the American fashion for enormous, baggy, long swimming shorts. I have noticed several men wearing leggings, but underneath shorts and that may be influenced by American, as opposed to Continental, ideas. American men can be notoriously conservative and many tend to associate anything that shows their lower body-and especially their rear-with homosexuality. It's "gay".

So true! There seems to be some kind of puritanical influence in men's fashion and as you say, it originated in the US. I just hate it when men refer to parts of their bodies as ' junk'. As a mature male, I now feel that I can wear what I like and I am not bothered about what people think. I just love wearing my leggings, the thrill I get when they cling to my body and the looks I get when I have them on.

Can you describe this thrill for me? I cycle and wear lycra shorts and leggings and I certainly dont feel this "thrill" you describe. It nearly sounds quite sexual the way you put it across.

In other words, you will never forget that you are wearing meggings/leggings as they cling to and move with the lower body. Also it's the attention and glances from females that is particularly flattering and arousing.

Do you get aroused while wearing the leggings out and about or do you keep it for home later? Im just wondering as if they are tight as you claim surely you would have a couple of indecent exposure charges at this stage

meeeeh · 24-09-2019 10:42am

Oh come on 60 posts and all on either meggings or tight high boots. He gets aroused by trolling.

If those are the OPs legs I think he needs to get some squats in cos no one has time for 'skinny fat' legs in toight leggings.

To be charged with indecent exposure, a man would have to actually expose his privates in public! Wearing meggings is definitely not a crime! As regards arousal, it can happen anywhere, anytime!

Meggings! Guys, dare you wear!
