Meggings

Not so long ago men’s fashion was very straight cut, so the idea of having waist high legwear, and male grooming would have received a few raised eyebrows. However, following the change in attitudes towards male fashion this is no longer the case. Men have discovered something that the ladies have known for years; that tights are a comfortable garment and they are here to stay! After all, men have legs too…

The number of men’s legwear is constantly on the increase, and there are a range of brands that now specialise in men’s legwear. Brands include Adrian, Collanto, ComfiLon, Doyeah and ELA. Adrian of Poland produces one million pairs of men’s tights per month due to its high demand, however, because of this the suppliers have great trouble keeping up with the constant monthly demand.

So guys, whether this is your first time considering tights, or whether you’re a tights fanatic, you have come to the right place to seek advice from the professionals.

Male celebrities that have been spotted out wearing tights include the likes of Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Kravitz, showing diversity within age, style and trends, allowing men’s tights to fit in with everyone. As the influence comes from such well-known stars, they will trend globally and become accepted through its integration as a selling point to the high street, they have already taken storm in New York City, and now it’s focussing on hitting Europe! So why fight against it?

Tights for men are expected to be a follow on trend from “skinny jeans” which have become the highlight of Britain’s high street craze. Tights are naturally more comfortable than jeans, so they will be more popular with those who prefer comfort, and it is thought that they will have the ability to show off good legs all year round. Yes, like everything they do have their downfalls like “where do I put my wallet?” or “what do I do when it gets hot?” but embrace your look and show off your unique style because there are solutions to these problems!

Don’t forget, men wear running tights when training or taking their nightly runs to keep fit as they are great for keeping muscles compressed and legs warm, so why is this socially accepted, but wearing them for fashion is not? If they can boost your performance when running, they can boost your appearance.

There are a range of tights that men can buy, different colours sizes and designs. Knee length and three quarter tights are commonly known for running and exercise activities to match with a pair of trainers, whereas the full length tights will be worn with a pair of smart pointed black shoes, which can be worn on a night out with the lads or to a meal out during the day.

So guys before you shoot down this idea, don’t be narrow minded, explore the options from of meggings to black opaque tights and take a look at what tights are out there for you, you might surprise yourself!
