I've just been warned that "this topic has not been posted in for at least 30 days."  If anyone reads this, my question would be: what are the men wearing OVER the tights?  I mean, if they're ones like Barbie is wearing, of course, they'd work on their own.  But other than those running/bicycling things, I haven't noticed any men here in the Northeast wearing tights nor ads promoting them.  Granted, Philadelphia is not NY or San Francisco, but still . . . it's not Mississippi--where it's too hot to wear tights anyway.  I have to wonder if maybe all those men aren't buying them for wives and girlfriends.  So many girls seem to just throw on a pair of jeans for everything, but if you take the time to provide the appropriate accessories, they would seem awfully ungrateful NOT to put on a skirt.  (They should only realize how lucky they are--it's been decades and I still haven't reached the point where I take that delightful swish of a skirt against my legs for granted!)  Anyway, unless these men are wearing the tights and hose under their traditional trousers, or perhaps exposed under regular male shorts as a way of extending their wearability into fall, (Can someone explain to me the rationale for wearing big bulky sweaters on top of shorts and bare legs?  Is it a jock thing or what?), they would need to buy skirts to go with them.  Wouldn't they?
     One other note:  Someone mentioned men in colonial times.  At that point, men were already wearing the knee breeches that would develop into full-length trousers in the next century or so.  The height of leg exposure was the Middle Ages/Rennaissance when ALL they often wore were tights, with the infamous cod piece--the Medieval equivalent of the Wonder Bra!  Ah, those were the days!  When men were men, but dressed like women!

Hi, Vickie,

For men, there is an option of Peter Pan tights.

Hi. I'm new to this site. I myself also likes to wear tights and pantyhose occasionally. Normally i will wear them under my pants in office. The feeling not only great, but it also help promote my feminism most of the time.

Tights and leggings are so popular among girls and married women here. Even at freezing temperature, girls wear leggings with miniskirt. I also tried to wear leggings a few days ago. It was so cold, but I could endure it. GG friends at my age commented that they can not wear miniskirts because of their age. Me? I am not sure, but usally wear leggings while biking and running.

The trend now is also in 3 quarter type of leggings. I like those more as it can show my leg out.

I wonder how the FTMs feel about the whole "men in tights" fashion trend.

I do not know about F2Ms as I have never met them. But, some female colleagues praise my wearing tights at my work place whereas other women say like "you should wear proper clothes at workplace" and etc. I am not quite sure how many women dislike my wearing tights, but what I have heard is mostly applause. One of them said I wish to have your legs. Some of women recommended me to wear miniskirt to hide the crotch area, but I have to wear long tees, as I know very well the aftermath of wearing any kind of skirt in my workplace.
