Leggings - the new frontier.

[bangbangbang]

Consuelo Castiglioni showed guys in leggings for the first Marni menswear runway show. There were quite a few leggings looks in the S/S 07 women's show too.

Wouldn't a guy worry about showing his junk or something? At least he's not wearing a denim mini with them.

Doesn't look bad on the runway but it's certainly not my cup of tea.

[fadingblue]

a guy in facehunter did that a couple months ago with the gold aa ones

[mspark]

That's so wrong....

[dunkin deeznuts]

just wait till guys on here find out leggings get great whiskers after extended wear......

[zelah]

that article was trying to say some shit about lots of men wearing leggings around the house

no

that is not true

thermals maybe? sweat pants? not leggings, men just plain flat out do not own leggings

I dunno, I have a pair of my girlfriend's that I wear to ride my bike sometimes...

[yiHan]

God no! Leggings must be stopped!

[Tarmac]

No.

[Chicken]

well, maybe not.

vaguely similar (yet culturally acceptable)?

[dry the rain]

i've got some pretty damn nice honeycombs forming on my diorXdancesupplycompany limited edition leggings. just saying.

[Tarmac]

PS, manly stylish guys already went through one tighty phase, in the late 80s (biker shorts, fanny packs, neon muscle shirts). No reason to think it can't happen again.

I'd wear whatever you wanted me to if I got paid like Peyton.

[DJ2xTech]

maybe as an underlayer in cold weather?

already got under armour for that.

i can see leggings working on the right body type if they were cut differently than a woman's legging would be.

the waistband would have to sit at the natural waist, not the hips,

and the legs should be slightly loose, so as not to be completely

skin tight.

worn with a longer shirt/sweater/jacket, i can MAYBE see this working.

particularly if worn with substantial boots or shoes... nothing with a slim

profile, as it will look WAY too feminine.

[goldengloves]

I agree. I think it worked well in the Marni show with the heavy knits on top. It's not like we're too far from leggings with ultra skin tight jeans and stretch denim. Shit, half of April77s fit like leggings on some people.

To work well, I think the top will have to come down past the ass otherwise it is going to look rather Peter Pan-ish.

With leggings would come the necessary acessory: a codpiece. And I dearly want to own a Dior codpiece. You with me on this Asterix? Let's join the bring back the codpiece campaign

A sleek and minimal leather codpiece:

It's water hardened and features silver studs for max reinforcement. Focus being on premium material, construction and of course modern fit. Imagine the wear these babies will get!

Here's one for you milspex:

I bet Supreme's gonna make their own version in german rain camo print!

Check out the Rachel Comey thread...I'm curious about what you think.

[Vitamian]

This scares me more than the Terrorist Threat does.

[sphoxx]

ck, makes sense they'd jump on this

[goldengloves]

The CK pictures look like business sweat suits. The fit seems good though, but not quite leggings.

[sphoxx]

heh, these more your style?

[ProfMonnitoff]

I think leggings are sort of defined by being skin tight and anything else looks like sweat pants. I could see it working with shorts of some sort and large boots if someone was going for a relatively androgynous look, but that's about it.

But I'll probably regret saying that in a year when I'm wearing them myself
