    I wear leggings when I go out for a run, other than that noone needs to see 'frog eyes'. The day I use VPL about my own underwear I will give back my male membership identity.

    Meh. Wouldn't be wearing them; they're too restrictive. Would more likely go the opposite direction, and get a pair of phat pants!

    Mod Note: Please dial back the "real men" talk, it's really not helpful to the discussion. This is a fashion forum and that includes fashion for all genders.

    I ordered my meggings from Kapow Meggings and went for their Nightrider model which is black and shiny with a metallic finish. I have worn my meggings out on the town and they have really attracted a lot of female attention!
    So guys, get into meggings and you won't be just at a party, you will be the party!

    Can you post some pictures of how they look on you?

    Actually, meggings are the most comfortable lower body wear imaginable. Feels like one is wearing nothing!

    If theyre comfortable and make you feel good then go for it, dont worry about what anyone else thinks. Leggings are so practical and comfortable, especially in Summer when its too hot for pants but you dont want to show your legs, they should be apart of everyone's wardrobe imo. Go for it.

    Glad to see men catch up on fashion, boot cut jeans went out of fashion years ago.

    A somewhat ignorant post really.

    Totally agree! Leggings are leggings and a bag is a bag! Thanks for your words of encouragement. I feel that men need to be liberated from boring men's fashion and need to be more adventurous in their clothing choices like women.


    Give us a break.

    I think the way you are styling them is a bit too revealing, A longer shirt might look better.

    Too revealing! I am not ashamed of my body and I am proud to be a man! If you got it, flaunt it, I say!

    I wear my meggings as everyday clothing. For a garment to be described as ' fetish wear ' , it must be reserved for some special event or setting.

    And when you actually don’t ‘got it’?

    I mean, if you’re dressing like some sort of Celtic-Farmer-Batman, you can’t really say you have ‘it’...

    Jeggings, meggings, leggings. WTF.

    Anyway, nice trolling there OP.

    I will wear those leggings if that's actually a photo of op and if that's the type of clothing he actually wears.

    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.

    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 :D

    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!
