Style Tips for Men Who Wear Leggings
Sorry, ladies, this one actually isn’t for you.
Gentlemen: Have you been thinking about leggings lately? Maybe you’ve already been rocking the comfort and stretch of our amazing leggings, or maybe you’ve seen someone else in a fantastic print and thought to yourself “could that be me?”
Some people try to argue that men shouldn’t wear leggings, but we think that’s nonsense. Any history buff could tell you that men were wearing leggings way before women. Compression leggings have been a great addition to men’s athletic wear, but more and more we’ve seen men’s leggings, also called “meggings,” pop up on the fashion scene.

Style Tips for Men Who Wear Leggings
Go Long
Try an extra long graphic tee or a nicer shirt that offers a little extra coverage no matter what sort of leggings you’re wearing.

Layer it Up
Layered outfits are a great look for anyone. Try pairing darker colored leggings with a button up top layered with a loose fitting jacket or vest. How about our mech leggings ($18.99) for an edgier look?
Accessorize
It’s all about the details. Scarves, hats, watches, and jewelry can all add a little extra flair to your outfit and make your leggings look like part of an ensemble rather than the stand-out piece.
Stay Simple
Sometimes simplicity is a good thing. Whether you’re rocking a pair of solids or you’re going for your favorite vibrant print, pairing those leggings with darker, solid colors can be a great way to either play up or tone down your overall look, depending on what you’re after.

Keep it Loose
Contrast is key. Try complementing the skin-tight look of leggings with a loose shirt or jacket. You’ll be rolling in style and in comfort.
Try a Splash of Color
Wearing fun, colorful leggings will probably attract some attention, in a very good way! Try your favorite shade of our galaxy leggings ($14.99) or camo leggings ($26.99).

Are all your leggings comfortable for men? I really like the 3D Mario Athletic Capris, but not sure how this would fit a guy. Thanks for the blog.
Actually being a girl and witnessing a few mens’ opinions, some have said that women seem a bit luckier with fashion choices. But I am actually envious of mens’ fashion at times. and it’s Pretty cool you guys decided to share a post of men pulling off leggings so they have the option as well.
Yes Guys should be aloud to wear leggings if they are comfortable to move in— in excising I my self wear them and they are very comfortable but Nation wide everyman should be aloud to wear them no matter what
Hope not to offend anyone at all, but they honestly look 100% better on men than they do on women. Like I said. I don’t want to offend women or men either one. I am just being up front about the muscular definition of men’s legs, and the shape of their bodies. That is just my opinion.
I’ve recently tried experimenting with new looks involving leggings and think these are great tips — would be great if your store could also reflect styles and cuts that are more tailored to men; is that in the plan?
