Mantyhose?


I'm speechless. "Time for tights. Cool spring outfit." Really? I'm swooning over the horrible copy on their website and the overall horrible idea of pantyhose for men. It gives a whole new level to dbaggery.

    Jennifer,
    Agreed that the e-MANcipate site isn't doing wonders for advocating the growing men's legwear trend. However, there ARE increasing numbers of otherwise regular guys wearing sheer or opaque tights these days. I work for ActivSkin Legwear for Men (www.activskin.com), and have been working to publicize the practical benefits of hosiery for leg support or warmth-without-bulk, and it's been resonating with a growing number of guys who buy from us.

    You can see more about it on my blog, The Nylon Gene (www.nylongene.com). We understand that legwear as a fashion trend isn't going to get much traction. But for the many guys who have chronic leg pains and/or work in occupations that require lots of standing, or time behind the wheel, the legwear makes a big difference for them.

    Try to give it a fair look, w/o all the patterned tights images, etc.

    It's a bit unfair to judge any trend in men wearing tights by the rather extreme (for want of a better word) example of emancipate. This certainly does not reflect most of those who wear for warmth without bulk, who do not want to look like a pansy prancing around.

    To each his own. But I think something we can all agree on is...camo-printed pantyhose for women OR men is wrong.
