That said, I have no problem with this look as an athletic wear look---- it is very common for male runners, hikers, fighters, wrestlers, etc. im my community to wear running tights or long underwear (even fleece slim pants) and then toss a pair of shorts on over top for more warmth in the "man parts" area or for modesty's sake. Usually they are pretty butch men, so I don't even bat an eye. And honestly, it kinda makes sense practicality wise in athletic wear since men tend to run warmer than women, chaffing is a big concern, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1044637 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 09:05:59 +0000 VernieJane 1044637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember your words now, ladies! I find that so many trends are painful to take in the first time around, and it may even take a couple of seasons before we get used to seeing something so bizarre... but inevitably, as something becomes more and more seen, we start to think we like it, despite our good sense... Sarouel pants (aka MC Hammer pants) anyone, ahem!!! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1044620 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 07:13:32 +0000 Neel 1044620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>......

Interestingly, even though there seems to be greater pressure on women to conform to some cultural ideal of beauty, men seem to have much stricter and smaller wardrobe choices. Women have been able to co-opt and restyle almost anything "traditionally male" when it comes to clothing and accessories. Men absolutely can NOT; at least not without getting the side-eye from most people. Generally speaking, men cannot experiment with dresses/skirts, any sort of leggings/hosiery (even skinny pants are frowned upon by many), heels, tall boots, jewelry. Okay, they CAN, but it is not widely accepted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1044472 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 02:33:21 +0000 JulieJohn 1044472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. Men should be allowed to be playful too. And I'm glad to see the shorter shorts. Does that blond kid remind anyone else of "Blades of Glory"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1044309 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 22:39:54 +0000 jennifer 1044309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not for it .Sorry. At best it seems to be a take on a bike messenger /alpine hiker (the gearish looks) at worst (the preppy sweater/ dress shorts/meggings ) it looks like a little boys(K- 12 grade) in short pants school dress code. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1044232 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 20:33:48 +0000 biscuitsmom 1044232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Afraid not, unless you are very young, slim and extremely trendy. If not, I would not touch it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1044225 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 20:29:38 +0000 Alexandra 1044225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, no way!

It looks fine to me as a workout style, but with a wool sweater and oxfords it's less appealing to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1044066 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:24:18 +0000 ironkurtin 1044066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute boys can wear whatever they want. &nbsp;I see this look a lot on skater kids, but it's baggier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1044045 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 16:53:34 +0000 gobrien 1044045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole D... <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2305191/Hugh-Jackman-dons-bright-glove-style-trainers-jogging-dog.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvs.....trainers-j</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1043318 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:21:06 +0000 Thistle 1043318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummm, I would save it for batman and superman.

That's all right.</p> <p>But let's be clear, I'd never ever in million years date a guy who put that much into clothes. Hehe. Best friends yes, date no. I am convinced guys who are that fashionable talk a lot. I don't like all that chatting. Hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1043150 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 14:27:10 +0000 Susie 1043150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DH wears looser fitting shorts over his tight bike shorts or tights&nbsp;but I'm guessing that's not what you mean!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1043146 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 14:22:47 +0000 cade 1043146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am probably dating myself here, but shorts and tights are a most unfortunate combination. Always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1043141 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 14:16:47 +0000 cloud9 1043141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't we all love superman and batman?! ;)</p> <p>I don't mind the look, after all men used to wear hose centuries ago (and ruffled shirts to that matter). Unfortunately in today's world I do think it will take a certain personality to rock it. The kind that wear with stride of non-mainstream outfits and not a bit phased by some passerby staring and pointing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1043129 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 14:02:24 +0000 shedev 1043129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would never think of Hugh the same. It's a no for me. I don't even think girls wearing shorts and tights looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1043080 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:16:27 +0000 Nicole D 1043080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmmmmmm, no. &nbsp;Unless you are in the arts community (dance, maybe)&nbsp;this would look very affected to me. &nbsp;Would take a special kind of man to rock the megging. &nbsp;Maybe if I could see Hugh Jackman in a pair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meggings-1#post-1043064 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:07:15 +0000 gobrien 1043064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While browsing the Topman website, I had a look through their A/W 2013 lookbook <a href="http://www.topman.com/en/tmuk/category/autumn-winter-2013-lookbook-2283590/home" rel="nofollow">http://www.topman.com/en/tmuk/.....83590/home</a></p> <p>I came across some outfits consisting of shorts over meggings (male leggings) I think it looks kinda cool and very fashion forward. My question is ..Ladies what do you think? and any guys here , would you wear them? </p>
