Well, this happened.
Apparently, there's a "trend" (and we'll use "trend" loosely) spreading from Italy... men in tights. Dubbed "mantyhose," these nylons are mainly worn like long johns, but there is a growing number of men who are wearing the tights under shorts as a fashion accessory.
And don't worry about comfort, guys. The designer behind mantyhose assures you that the nylons are extra stretchy and not super tight on top. Plus, they add a bit of "shaping" in some cases... like Spanx. Feel confident in your mantyhose!
If there's anything good to come out of this trend, it's a lesson in gender equality. Ladies, how many times have you put on pantyhose for a night out while your husband just puts on a loose pair of slacks? It's not fair! At least now mantyhose wearers will get a taste of what it's like to be in shapewear for a night. Otherwise... I hope this is one of those trends that comes and goes.
