Men in tights?! and leggings, etc...

[Squizree]

I've seen ones they wear for athletic purposes but never just to "look good". I think it's just waaaay too feminine to wear them. I mean skinny jeans is one thing but leggings...no way.
They just defeat any wisp of masculinity in any man.

Not if you wear them with Ultra mega flounced Cuff's! And and Puffed shoulder!

^That sounds like something out of a ballet performance

A lot of the "meggings" go just below the knee and, when worn with a pair of shorts, actually look good. Otherwise, no way! There are certain parts of a man that don't look right with tights. I think you know what I'm talking about...

When meggings are ok:

noooo just a straight up no
thats just one step way too far into the feminine zone

 

[Squizree]

^ That IS in the feminine zone! That outfit would look terrible on a female, so what makes people think it's more acceptable on a man?
And look at the way he's standing, you think he could get any girlier?

^ noo.... i realize it IS in the feminine zone, and if you reread what i wrote i'm just expressing my opinion that its TOO feminine for a boy to pull off

 

[Geostud]

I would never wear them, but I still think it looks ok and masculine when at the knee with shorts. This look was from Givenchy SS09:

I started wearing them for athletic purposes and think a a man can pull them off without looking "too feminine" or even loose his maleness.

Here are some pictures which show the look in a better way:

i was not keen of them at first in Givenchy ... but now I think it looks pretty cool.
i think there's this spanish fashion hottie who wears them, too. he's a blogger or something and stylist.

but the complete leggings ? not so sure right now.
for a party in london the silver/golden AA leggings are ok. for everyday life ? heu ...
with seuquins ? geez ! i said for the party !

I do like the glittery Margiela ones they are more Glam rock

Personally I think that it works for a small handful of guys, the majority though could do without it...

omg.... just saw this... and i like to think of myself as an open minded person, but this is too much.... i would prefer men in skirts than this. im seriously worried whats next!

I guess it's a fine line, but some skinny jeans are just as tight as leggings. I actually think tights for men are less controversial than men in skirts and of course heels...
