American author John Gray clarified a lot of issues about men from Mars and women from Venus. However, here on Earth, still some questions are raised especially in the fashion world about meggings aka male leggings. If women wearing men’s clothing is socially acceptable, same treatment should be meted to men attempting to ape women’s fashion.
Young or grownup, every female’s closet would have had leggings at some or all times. This must-have piece of clothing is not new to women and also not to men. Going back to medieval era, we have seen Monarchs and Kings sporting them under majestically designed tunics and robes. Even rockstars like Mick Jagger and current day pop icons like Justin Bieber have been spotted in meggings. If all of these and more icons and celebrities have set the trend since long, then what is stopping the urban man from stepping out in body-hugging leggings.
Men who fascinate to pull up their meggings and not socks can head to Meggings Man Clothing. Based in Chicago, their primary focus is designing and offering meggings that have been functionally and aesthetically tailored to the male physique. Founders, Adam Freck and Andrew Volk, are all set to relocate meggings from runways to mainstream fashion world. Any man who has been craving to go bold by wearing he-leggings can simply pick from a range of sizes and designs from their site. Detailed with inverted triangle panels on the hips, wide waist bands and a faux zipper in the front, these meggings are exclusively designed to be worn in public.
Freck and Volk also suggest a few tips to wear them the best. Men can pair them with T-shirts, tank tops, jackets and hoodies, as well as with heavy boots or “vintage kicks.” Once voted as the worst fashion trend, leggings for men are making a comeback, literally on to the streets of the US with Meggings Man Clothing. If the metallic versions in black, gold and silver are too glossy then opt for meggings in plain colors, checkered or featuring flag print.
Ready to embrace the trend that enhances a man’s best features? Just a bit of warning – head to a gym to tone your lower torso before you head to shop meggings.
