#2 From the article:

"That said, I know a lot of ~~gay~~ guys who wear leggings around the home to watch DVD's, lounge around before Premiership games or surf the Internet."

I am sure you do.

#3 Oh, I don't know, Leonard Whiting and Michael York looked pretty darned sexy in them in Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet". The metrosexual in this "fashion" photo, however, is another matter.

I love em. Easy on, easy off, which should hold great appeal for most men I know. :) Great for movement. A good pair that mixes cotton and lycra will never cut off the circulation to the "nether fellas" and they really show off the body to its best. They are as comfortable as yoga pants or those flannel plaid pajama pants guys like to wear around the home.

These leggy knits were paired with mercerized cotton jerkins, snug little Rude Boy with manners jackets and Two Tone era skinny ties

#7 A kilt is also very hot, Frank. That, and a brogue. Many a girl friend and I have sighed during The Highlander.

#9 I disagree. While leggings are extremely comfortable, there is no male body type capable of looking anything other than dorky and half-dressed in them. That poor model in the picture looks as if he'd got on his long underwear, but forgot his pants... and is trying hard to carry off that nightmare with aplomb, poor boy.

#10 Them ain't leggins' them's tights. Leggin's is what our soldiers wore in WWII. I like my kilt except when it's cold. A sock is a must!

#11 TW-Basically, footballs pants are tights/leggings-they just close differently. Still feel the same way?

#12 Everybody has overlooked the mandatory Stirrups!
I thought that stirrups looked super stupid on girls, and that, fortunately passed soon enough, so now the fashion barons think guys want to wear this faggy sh!t. I'll pass.

#13 Jeebus, I'm still getting over the fact that these are "coming back" for wimmins. Then, the good doc, puts that Man(?) pic up (the one who needs a "bro" or a "mansere"). Who has the steel wool for our eyes?

Yes. I don't wear football pants on the street.

#15 Leggings wid 3-Piece, Coat-and-Tie Italian/Professional Suit > can't see it save for Lefty College anarchists. Good for drunken Toga parties but not for corporate job-hunting + marrying your girlfriend after graduation/grad school.

At least the football players are wearing a codpiece to balance out the look, Jules. ;-) I never could muster a passion for American football, I fear. We lacked a television during my critical formative years for such things. Although come to think of it, the uniform of the boys on my high school gymnastics team was essentially stirrup pants over shorts with a sleeveless undershirt... But they only went between the gym and the locker room so clothed, wearing only their team jackets over street clothes for spirit day, unlike us girls who wandered the school in full regalia, such as it was.
