As someone who went to school and studied Fashion, I like to keep up with the latest trends. I don’t follow all the trends blindly, but I do like to read and educate myself with the latest and the must haves from the world of fashion. As a self-titled fashion expert (only for my family), I like to educate my girls and my DH of the trends too. My DH is a very simple jeans and T-shirt kind of guy. He does not care much for fashion. However after my relentless nagging he does concede once in a while to follow with my fashion demands. When I asked him to try on slim fit pants, he did it to make me happy (I think he did it more to shut me up 🙂 ).
Anyway, when I read an article about meggings going mainstream, I was almost tempted to tease him to try it (just for fun, I was not really going to do it). Meggings are leggings for men. Yes, you heard it right. The 80’s fashion statement of rock and roll is making a comeback. Designed by Chicago-based Adam Freck and Andrew Volk these bold and really fitting, stretchy, tight pants retail for around $29.95 and is available in tons of finishes and sizes. Celebrities like Russell brand and Justin Beiber are flaunting them.
The designers of these meggings have stated, “men want to wear them, and that’s a fact! There are always naysayers with any new piece of fashion”. I however, am not sure if that statement is true. I am sorry but I don’t think my man wants to wear this. Unless he is in profession where tights are required, I don’t think I would tolerate this particular trend. While I feel the younger and skinner guys could pull it off, I personally don’t wish to see anyone I know with meggings. As for my DH, this is one trend I am not going to harass him to wear.

OMG, meggings! Too funny. I don’t think either myself or my husband would ever be inclined to wear these things!
HAHA! I cannot even believe that these exist! That’s hysterical!! Thank you for sharing this!!

Yikes… I really hope this doesn’t become a thing. Those dudes look ridiculous!
Say it isn’t so!!! I do not want to see this, I am open minded but I just “can’t with those meggings”. If they have lace around the ankle that would really sum it up. Thank you for sharing now I have something to laugh at #Sitsblogging.
I just showed my husband and told him how good he’d look in those american flag meggings. Bahahaha! I sure hope that trend stays far far away!
Oh my goodness! I hope this passes and never catches on. If I caught my husband wearing meggings I would run and vomit.
Stopping by from the SITS Comment Love.
Hilarious!!!! OMG I so hope I see a man walking down the street in these some day soon
Lol!! Love this post. I am in fashion industry and my husband likes to think he is fashionable as well. However, part of being a mature adult is being honest with yourself and recognizing what will work for you and what won’t! I didn’t even know there was a name for these things! Meggigings definitely have no place in my world or my husband’s, Thank God! I love your idea of teasing your hubby and trying to get him to wear them just to see his response! ☺Maybe I could buy him a pair for Valentines day and capture his response on film…. there’s a lot of fun to be had with this! #sitsblogging
Ahhhhh!!! This is not ok! Haha!
Definitely not ready… don’t think I could handle these. Yikes!
Oh my gosh! Oh no way. I’m not ready to see them and the men in my life would not wear them. 😉
My husband doesn’t keep up with fashion but no way he would wear these! And no way I would be seen with him wearing them! Meggings and spandex are both no-no’s for men!
Oh I hope not my hubby has a pancake butt I perfer dress pants, jeans or kakis on a man or nothing :O
your right I did miss this post as this surly would be something I’d remember. lol just wow where did you say you found these ? lets keep them hidden from my hubby 🙂
I know I am for sure not ready for Meggings
There is no way my man is going to wear those! Let him try…he’s got to get past me first… Yikes.
No, I have to say I wasn’t ready for that. Lol! My EYES!! MY EYES!!
Usually I’m open to fashion for both men and women but I think some styles just dont cross over. I’m not a fan of the leggings for men idea.
I have to say I loved reading all of your comments. They are hilarious.
Oh dear God no! This should not be happening at all, anytime ever. No, no, no, and NO! LOL
I think my hubby will not wear this, may be only on Halloween or to costume party.
LOL! My boyfriend just took one look at them and said “that’s just not right.” I am inclined to agree with him.
OK, those actually look comfy…but, obviously, I’m not a man. LOL. I’ve been known to wear leggings under my outer pants on super cold days…
My aunt saw something about this on the news last night or this morning and was telling me about them. She said – well – “Aren’t they just shine-y thermals?” I laughed and agreed.
Oh please no! We finally got them to stop wearing Speedos. Let’s not go down this kind of path ever again!
I’m sorry but I don’t think that my husband would ever be interested in wearing these. I’m sure that there will be me who will wear them, however.
The word ‘meggings’ caught my eye and well not sure I’m game for these. I know my husband would frown upon them, but then again I’m thinking the younger generation MIGHT catch onto this while the older generation(s) may not. BUT you never know. Not sure I’m game for the one w/ the US flag, but the black ones look nice.
Never in my husband’s life would he try this kind of fashion, even for fun, lol.
LOL, me neither…
ummm no, I’m not sure if I’m ready for this! LOL!
I so would not let my hubby wear these. lol yikes!
THIS did NOT just happen… did it? I can’t unsee that!! Men should not wear these. oh my.
Erm nope this should never be allowed thats really not right at all lol.
Yikes those are ugly and I can never see my husband wearing those.
Ummmmm, I don’t know about this trend. I would break up with my bf if he ever wore meggings.
Ugh! I’m so not read for meggins!! Popping over from the SITS tribe to say hello!
I heard of meggings a few months ago and got a good laugh at them. Of course I am so far away from being fashionable I am probably not the one to comment on this. I just know I have no desire to see this become a trend.
Oh dear lord no! meggings are a horrible idea! They need to back up and think of something different men should not wear anything remotely close to leggings!
I might pay money to see my husband wear these LOL
I hope I never see another man again in “Meggings”! Guaranteed my hub would never wear those! Funny though, my hub was just telling me he is going to change up his clothing style soon.
I’m sorry but I don’t want to see the men wearing meggins. Please, don’t let this become the next fad, please.
Lol. I don’t think… this is good for men, lol. like, seriously.
no, no ,no some things are not meant to be fashionable…..
hope it really doesnt catch on at all!
Unless they are performing in a ballet men should never wear anything this–heavens they look terrible. I myself will not wear leggings-I tried them on once–uh-lets just say I will leave them for the skinny young girls out there!
I agree Michele. Men should not be wearing these.
All I can say is….gross! I hope “meggings” don’t catch on…and not only because of my name…lol
NOT COOL. I know lots of guys and I really think I would be hard pressed to find even one that would be caught dead in a pair of those. LOL.
I am not sure what to say but, WOEW! I hope my son DOES not want these.
Meggings are certainly an…interesting trend. My husband would not be into them. Lol.
my husband would so not wear these but son totally would
I saw this online earlier today. Seriously I was like “WHAT?” My husband immediately spurned the idea. Not that I would ever ask him to. I do not like the Mannings.
Oh I hope this never happens. Horrible. Men should not wear these. Some women shouldn’t either.
