What are meggings? Where did they come from and who should wear them?

Masculinity needs to be emphasized, but each fashion designer understands this word in his own way. Men's clothing is becoming increasingly narrower and tighter. Let's figure out what meggings are and what they are eaten with.

What kind of clothes are meggings?

Simply put, these are men's leggings - tight-fitting pants without a fly made of stretch material. These are made from leather, knitwear, elastic, denim. When cutting, take into account a little “freedom” in the front so that the man does not feel too uncomfortable.

Initially, they had a purely “false” function. They were worn as long johns in cold weather. Then Japanese men began wearing meggings with shorts. After a while, shorts were also “cancelled”, and the fashion for narrow bottoms is still storming foreign men’s wardrobes.

Of course, it takes courage to wear these pants.. And it’s not about judgmental looks or crazy questions “WTF???” in the eyes of men passing by. From a physiological point of view, these clothes are quite harmful. Well, you know what I mean?

Girls generally find it convenient to evaluate a guy in such clothes. I looked and realized that I wouldn’t go on a date. How many problems can be avoided in the future!

Who wears these and where?

Meanwhile, “cyborgs have taken over the entire planet,” and on the streets of London and New York, meeting a man in meggings is a common occurrence. Such pants stand out especially brightly at public demonstrations or festivities. This is where you understand the special subtle connection that connects metropolitan men with fashion!

Not everyone would like to feel like a ballet dancer, even if they are an avid fashionista. Although if you remember history, this type of clothing was already popular. For example, the king's musketeers and hussars wore such uniforms, and with pleasure. Robin Hood is still “remembered” today by wearing men’s tights.

Of course, wearing meggings brings some difficulties... For example... in the front. But maybe then they’ll come up with some kind of codpiece, as was the case back in the 15th century? And what a completely functional thing, especially in this context... And it would look much more solid

The English brand Uniqlo has been successfully selling meggings online for a long time. After all, it’s very convenient: you don’t need to try them on, just know the length and volume of your hips. And then choose your size.

Advantages and disadvantages

It would seem that meggings, especially in Russia, cannot have any advantages. Well, judge for yourself - narrow, elastic, do not warm and squeeze in the area you know what. But still, if we look at it in more detail, you can find a grain of positive in these clothes. For example, emphasizing beautiful legs and buttocks... Why am I, of course not, this is not for harsh Russia... Although...

What can you wear these with?

Meggings are recommended to be combined with a voluminous top and stylish semi-sports shoes. The ensemble looks good with a long sleeve or oversized jumper.A set of an elongated T-shirt or T-shirt and a long blazer looks good.

But the legendary Coco Chanel also said: “I don’t like long jackets - when talking to a man, I don’t see how he treats me!”

So this also needs to be kept in mind. Suddenly - fate, and all the weapons are hidden under covers?

A couple of ways to wear men's meggings and look brutal

  1. First of all, you need to take into account that meggings look beautiful only on a muscular, thin man. Like how Russell Brand wears them. In other cases, you can cause really serious problems with the perception of the chosen image. A tall, overweight man risks looking like a “pregnant pencil” in such pants, while a short man risks looking like a gnome. In general, if a man is a broiler, he can only wear fashionable pants under his trousers.
  2. Meggings must be dark and without any print. Structural fabric is possible, but not vertical stripes.
  3. If you can't boast of a beautiful torso, the top needs to be voluminous and “rectangular”. That is, a T-shirt up to the navel is definitely not an option, but one up to the middle of the thigh is what you need.
  4. In addition, you need to complement meggings with purely men's clothing. Shirt, jacket, plain T-shirt - great. A It’s better to cancel “cheerful” colors.

Tip: how to give meggings to your husband without getting him in the eye

Not everyone can give such a chic “present” to their loved one. In Russia, all strange clothes take root very poorly. Can:

  1. Try it call your husband D'Artagnan. After all, every boy at a certain age dreamed of becoming one? And what about D’Artagnan without meggings...
  2. Start small. To say that this thing is “under the pants”, and then, maybe, he himself will “get to everything.”After all, you are also interested in fashion trends? Look how we are jumping behind the trends of Europe, soon we will all be there...
  3. Offer to wear them at home. Tell me how much you like this kind of chaos in domestic relationships. Don't forget to praise you know what...

But if you know for sure that your husband doesn’t understand such jokes, then it’s better not to. And you certainly don’t need to dress your little son in such pants. An adult will understand the joke, a child can “take everything at face value.”

Reviews and comments
D Damir:

I have a feeling that after meggings, myths will appear.

Alexandra Popova:

So we already have a “bra for men” on our website))). But if you think about it, then this is “a well-forgotten old thing”). Everything goes in a spiral, as they say, “fashion is cyclical”

M Mani Prabuhal Swami:

in long johns to go outside... still no, thank you

IN Valery:

very comfortable in them!

D Dormidont Skameikin:

Jeans are much more harmful than meggings. I've been wearing tights and leggings all my life.Their material is quite elastic and, if the size is correctly chosen, there is no pressure or tightness :)

M Max Fry:

In my opinion, leggings are a fairly comfortable and practical type of clothing and anyone can wear them. Personally, I almost always wear these at home. Sometimes I wear it on the street, but under shorts, because our stereotypical society will begin to judge and poke fingers in the back. If someday the fashion for meggies comes to our country, I will only be glad and in the first rows I will start walking down the street in them))
