Mark Steyn points out in his book America Alone that society is slowly making it unacceptable to be manly.

When someone says leggings for men are the new “must have”, I say electroshock therapy is the new “must have”.
Milan – Now I know there are many out there who will think I have lost it when I write that a key, new must-have for men this coming fall will be a pair of leggings to be worn outside, not just in, the house, but that was the big message at the debut Marni men’s runway show this morning in Milan.
Leggings made of microfiber cotton and wool, shown in violet, forest green and Milan fog gray, all of them with stirrup straps, except of course for a couple of them cut above the knee, accompanied half the looks in this poetic, polished and unexpected collection.

Fashion is cyclical. There’s rarely anything new in fashion these days, rather they put a new spin (materials, length, etc.) on things that have been around before. Bell bottoms, empire waists, corsetry, hip huggers, etc. have all appeared in fashion shows in the last decade – many years after their original introduction into mainstream fashion.
As Kursk says, men used to wear leggings. It’s no surprise they’ve made a resurgence in the fashion world – if only for a short time.

Darn, Kursk beat me to it.
Hey, styles come and go, got nothing to do with anything important.
Those legging things are comfortable, you know.
My Mum used to say that in terms of anatomy, it would actually make more sense for men to wear skirts and women to wear pants (which we do). Guess the Scots got it right!
