Leggings for men is not a new trend - one that’s been around for years. It’s time to get over the body image constraints and go for the comfort. Just wear them. Leggings are perfect casual wear for women AND men. Having worn leggings for years, I’m aware of people’s comments both negative and very positive. After all, it’s not the leggings on the man but the man in the leggings. Everyone looks good in leggings and some people look great!
If more people, women and men, wear leggings then it will just be another apparel choice. At one time denim jeans were worn only by miners digging for gold. Now they are everywhere.
So never say never - when you do decide to wear leggings, choose a well made pair - not with cotton fibers that bag out over time but a high tech fiber that retains its shape. Go for the comfort and support. Leggings that go to the ankle look better than capri style that chop the leg. Plus the full length leggings support you from your ankle to your waist and give you an energetic lift. Laugh, Live, Love & Enjoy! Check out http://www.UnJeans.com

I’m a 23 year old metrosexual male. I personally think leggings are a wonderful concept at that! I think females need to stop whining and feeling akward about men who want to wear leggings! “Gender is nothing more than a physical construct.” It has nothing to do with what sex they are. Both men and women can and do actually percieve the world in similar ways. A man doesn’t always like to wear heavy, thick and dark apparel. We too enjoy the luxuries of lfe like silk and nylon. Clearly a man that is well built and assertive like most men, but perhaps is better groomed and enjoys wearing leggings doesn’t mean he is any less of a man. A man or woman is determined based on how kind, helpful and positive we are toward others, not what we eat, wear, sleep in, or how we act like outside of these pathetic gender roles created my society that something thought up as being the ONLY way. It simply doesn’t work that way. Individuals are very complex living beings with mixed emotions, new developing feelings about ourselves and others, and our own need to be distinctive among others. In conclusion, open-mindedness and the ability to let change occur is not a punishment but a gift to express oneself and enjoy life on higher and newer levels. Judge not another and they won’t judge you!

Now for all the men out there. Give it a try if you choose. Fear of rejection means you are dependent on what others think and want of you.

I am 39. For the past 3 years I have taken to buying and wearing leggings and tights. They are great for excercising to prevent cramps. I work out regularly and to aid my legs I wear them. It isnt a new trend. It has been around since 1970’s in Skiing and Cross Country. In the 80’s the music world started to get into it woth David Lee Roth and Van Halen. In the 90s iit was the SKA / Punk era. Currently now they have made a trend again and they are seen in lengths, colors, patterns, and fabrics. They range from nylon, cotton, and blend, to variety of colors, styles, prints, and brands. Hue, activiskin, and several online shops have them. Retailers have been selling them in great quanities. I say it is ok to wear with shorts as I had seen it already locally in the LA market for both women with twill and plaid shorts, skirts, with a long blouse, tunic, and dress. I have seen Men , yes MEN, wearing them wiuth sandals, and sneakers, shorts and a bsketball tank shirt and jersey. Us guys should wear them with seams, but feel free to get cotton or polyster or nylon or nylon fleece quality depending on what you like. Brands like Nike, Reebok, HInd, Dolphin, and others have taken the industry in the sports world. Others have come aboard like HUGOBOSS, Calvin Klein, and aothers. See the Men.style.com articles and type “men leggings for 2007″ as a net find in google or yahoo. YOu will see the trend going to men. Famous women designers are behind it!!!1
