Men in tights: Meggings Man Clothing sells leggings designed with the male body in mind.
Men have been wearing leggings for ages, and they are known to pop up
on male runway models and rock stars. But will your average Joe forgo
pants and put on tights instead?
Adam Freck and Andrew Volk think so. In December, the Chicago-based duo launched Meggings Man Clothing, a company that specializes in leggings for men.
“We saw a real demand for an easy, wearable spandex pant for guys to
incorporate into their everyday wardrobes,” they told the Daily News in
an email.
Meggings Man Clothing’s leggings come in a number of colors and patterns, including metallic gold and camouflage. Unlike traditional leggings, which are typically worn by women, "meggings" were designed with the male body in mind. They have inverted triangle panels on the hips, wide waist bands and faux flies in the front.
“These are absolutely intended to be worn in public,” the company told The News.
So, what should men wear with their leggings? Meggings Man Clothing suggests pairing them with T-shirts, tank tops, jackets and hoodies, along with heavy boots or “vintage kicks.”
“We also see a lot of our customers layering with their meggings: under
shorts, or even wearing two pairs of different colors and pushing up
the legs of the top layer,” the company said.
Another meggings styling tip? Men should keep in mind that meggings are made of polyester and spandex, which means boxer briefs or compression shorts are wiser choices than baggy boxers.
Talk of meggings being fashion's next big thing popped up in December 2012. They were spotted all over New York, and celebrities like Justin Bieber and Russell Brand were seen rocking some man-leggings. Back then, GQ took a stand on the meggings movement: “No.”
Yet stretchy pants for the male population may be making their way to the mainstream. The folks at Meggings Man Clothing said they’ve already had customers come back for more.
