Will men soon be parading around in tights?
First came manscara, then guy liner and now it seems men are going to take over the previously female dominant hosiery market.
"Mantyhose" are tights for men, the latest in a string of bizarre fashion trends for men.
A website has even been set up to "accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item".
Creator of the website, Harisnya, says: "Men have great legs and hosiery is a great way to show them. It's quite practical in some ways. It prevents chafing, for example, when horse riding or cycling, but it's also a good alternative to bulky underwear if you need some warmth.
"Going to work on a cold autumn day in regular trousers with 20 denier hose underneath helps to avoid getting cold. Plus you won't ever have to worry about loosing or matching your socks," he joked.
Specifically designed men's tights comes with a "male comfort panel" that better fits a man's shape, and offers a convenient fly opening.
Harisyna’s love of pantyhose - which he insists is about fashion, rather than a fetish - is backed up by testimonials from truck drivers who swear by nylon hosiery for its circulation benefits and cowboys who don them under their Levi's for warmth.
Are there no real men left?
