Introducing “meggings”: Leggings for dudes slowly taking over the world

Move over jeggings--there's a new tight, stretchy pant in town. Meggings are here! Man leggings! Just when you thought the leggings trend couldn't get bigger, they've now been spotted on the male population. Stylesightings noticed guys rocking them as under-layers in New York, Paris, London, and Tokyo earlier this fall, which come as no huge surprise since they were spotted on international runways in the Givenchy and John Galliano runway shows. While it hasn't become a massive trend yet here in the States, we've seen skinny jeans tighter than our own on dudes, and fear meggings may be the next scary but inevitable fashion step.

In Japan, guys have already strayed from basic black meggings to patterns and colors even Lindsay Lohan might shy away from. A website called InventorSpot reports that Japan is sadly riddled with man spandex, and has posted this video to illustrate. The only bright spot: 62% of women polled about jeggings said they weren't feeling them. Male readers of Shine (and we know there are many of you out there) need to listen to these ladies.
