Or leggings for men, to give them their full title. Next big male trend [url= http://www.guardian.co.uk/fashion/shortcuts/2012/dec/10/leggings-for-men-meggings-trend ]apparently[/url]

Seems to me that they're not a million miles away from what some cyclists deem as suitable attire to leave the house in. So... who's got a pair or two on their Christmas list then?

When are they going to announce the winner of this "how big a penis can you look" competition?

"taking the fashion world by storm"

Well, that just proves the fashion world is full of giant idiots.

(and let's be honest, most females shouldn't be allowed out in leggings)

The people you see wearing tight clothing/on a nudist beach/carrying an Ann Summers bag home with a cheeky grin are NEVER the people you would WANT to see wearing tight clothing/on a nudist beach/carrying an Ann Summers bag home with a cheeky grin.

This is a science fact.

I was wearing a pair this very morning.

What's more, they were windproof bib-meggings no less. I also have roubaix bib-meggings, three-quarter bib-meggings and a number of pairs of what I shall now refer to as bib-morts.

On the plus side, I'd prefer these to be worn rather than the other obvious option, which is wearing a t-shirt with "I'm a massive ****t" printed front and back ...

I love my meggings but I'm a slightly anxious that I can't carry the look, so tend to just wear them underneath a Onesie.

Ed Oxley was sporting them in the most recent stw.

He looked like he had a Buff round each ankle too so maybe he was going for the 'Kids from Fame have grown up and started doing bikepacking' look.

I hope so, looks very comfy... but I could do without having to put the fright mask on.

Edit. Mens pyjamas will offer loads of opportunity for "fallout" :mrgreen:

Ankle boots, earth colours, blocking, posh denim, casual suits for men in AW12/13.

Ah, I see. So the "Leg" part of "Leggings" is just a coincidence.

They are actually called "Eggings" , and simply prefixed with an initial ?

So the Kids versions will be called

[b]B[/b]eggings
And
[b]G[/b]eggings

Thanks for clearing that up for me. 😉

Denim and blazers / double breasted jackets are just there for it to be easier for us to decide who is to be executed when the new world order begins.

I like wearing them. More comfy than baggy shorts.

I'm a tad tubby but still feel sexy in them and this is reinforced by all the looks of admiration i get.

Damn; I'm hot stuff in tights!!

They're easy to wear on the bike, which is a real plus. I prefer tights to trousers for pootling around, but daren't now I'm fat & old. I used to wear Ron Hills & skinny rugby shirts in the 80s, with a bum bag to keep my keys etc in.
Surprisingly, I got asked out a couple of times by young ladies.

I've seen actual Men wearing Ugg Boots.. No really I have.. In Southampton, I know.. ! It's the style capital of Western Europe donchaknow.

As for the Meggings, well as soon as I see an Old Man in them with a large Poo bulging down one leg then I'm convinced they'll be a hit..

I thought the standing fashion advice for men was "whatever it is you're trying to do, you'll probably get it wrong"

No it means Ladies have Leggings and Men have Meggings..

Meggings are a mens version of 'Mumblers'

I've seen trendy London-types wearing something like those Bananas, but really tight in the leg, with a stonewashed finish. Really attractive look, too. 😯

TBH Banana pants are a bikers friend lots of thigh room and they negate the need for trouser clips - although the cocking of the leg over is tough

The people who wear these sort of things should just wear a dress and get it over with 😉

Same goes for men who own skinny jeans, wear tight tops, use hair straighteners, make themselves look like an ooompa looompa with fake tan, take longer to get ready than a woman etc etc 😆

[embarrassing admission] I have some skinny, carrot cut, track pants (super tight on the lower leg and baggy round the crotch) which I wear with Ugg boots. Most comfortable ‘indoors only’ combo ever. I get changed when I take the bins out though as I’m fully aware I look like a ****. [/embarrassing admission]

I've got Emu sheepskin boots (like Uggs) that I strictly wear indoors as slippers in the house. I ran out in them to catch the bin men the other day and they all (justifiably) pi$$ed themselves at me.

Oh dear lord god, NO!

Men talking fashion. We know nothing about fashion. "IF" you claim to "know" about or "like" fashion then you're one of them there "blokes" for whom meggings are already an integral part of their "wardrobe". As mtb-ers we know nothing about fashion. Take a look in the mirror. Our long suffering wives really don't care how you dress. You might as well wear a sack with a rope belt, for all the good it will do. Our wives are just humouring us.

* And Ugg boots were originally for blokes. Australian ones though. 😉

Ugg boots I don't mind, I think they're "quite" a good idea if you live in Nothern Europe in a dry climate.. but we don't. We have months of rain, then the sun comes out, then it rains again and all these Girlies that wear Ugg boots find it all too confusing/difficult to change footwear so they wear them there Ugg boots, day in, day out.. and they Stink, and look shite once wet.

Megging No,
Lycra Leggings Yes.

Emsz style tips

Not being funny, but I'm not too optimistic about the accuracy of men's fashion tips from a lesbian. Especially one who's a regular on a mountain bike forum.

Actually, sorry to pick on you, I wouldnt take tips on fashion from ANYONE who posts on STW.
