If you thought men in tights was a sartorial statement best left to medieval jesters, think again.
The underwear staple for women is making its way into wardrobes of the opposite sex - and the look is gaining popularity.
If any were in doubt as to the strength of the trend, it even has its own name: Mantyhose.

From jogging.
under armour makes compression tights but they are NOT a fashion statement in any way shape or form.
(They are also made for men with actual male genitals)
Their function is recovery.
this “product” is as wrong as lipstick for pigs.
I don’t know about mantyhose, but for all the “Archer” fans — “M as in Mancy”.
check out underarmour.com for more appropriate anti-chaffing attire.
My mother shipped them to me when I served in Vietnam because I spent “A LOT” of time in the water...They kept the leeches off...
That pic is Gay Gay Gay Gay. Men is pantyhose is a homos wet dream. No thanks!
I read your post and my ice tea is now all over the computer screen... The amazing Mrs. Tax!
It’s “sexy” like my greyhound lying on her back with all her legs in the air, looking like a dead chicken."
I might be in the minority, but IMO it's just inappropriate and tacky to not wear hose with a dress even if your legs are tanned and perfect. It used to be considered a terribly low-class thing to see a woman with bare legs and dress shoes...it just wasn't done. And please, please don't get me started on those ugly, nasty flip-flops. I hate them. They're fine for the beach, but that's all you see women wear in the summer now.
WTH??
The article was in a UK paper, but apparently most sales are in Scandinavia, Canada, and other cold countries.
I walk into stuff - coffee tables, chairs, the corner of the dragon cage - and also clobber my shins climbing into the van or the truck.
Sorry about that. Was it sugar-free, at least? Less sticky, fewer ants ...

Come by the Undead Thread, late Mr. Sheed, and be sure to see my new baby pictures on the Tax-chick page!
I don't take the photos, I just post 'em from the articles.
You got a Good point! Nice visual.
"Men are pairing them with shorts.
Not this man.
Some styles come "with front zippers included."
I think I read about that in the Book of Revelation.
And Australian beach life guards wear them to keep from getting stung by jelly fish.
On my feet? I don’t care...
I love the UA tights and wear them to the gym in the months wear it is too cool indoors to workout in shorts.
I wear something underneath them.
