There are some things that we should never ever have to endure, and leggings on our men is one of them. So why on earth are they suddenly being championed as fashionable?
Well I say all of a sudden, what I mean is they've become more widely accepted recently and this is a terrifying thought, especially since 80s disco leggings are in fashion for the summer.
Vernon Kay has arguably re-ignited this debate, since he donned some special Comic Relief leggings to abseil down a building recently for the charity, and while we admire his spirit, they were by no means a good look on the former model.
He took it all in his stride though, poking fun at himself and even playing up to how much he loved wearing them- that's our type of guy, a bloke who can take the mick about his fashion sense.
Then there are those fellas who are the complete opposite and take their 'look' very seriously indeed, even if it makes them look the a total prat.
After the success of skinny jeans on men, it was only a matter of time before they decided to take it to the next level and give skin-tight leggings a go.
Russell Brand has been sporting some wet-look leggings since last summer, even though the pair he's been championing are in fact made for women. Hey, if your bum can handle them Russell, kudos to you!
Noel Fielding is another celeb who is just as outlandish with his fashion sense, wearing crazy catsuits and OTT hats when he makes public appearances.
Surprise, surprise he's also a fan of leggings, making fashion headlines last month for turning up to the NME awards in a pair of polka dot ones. You know, as you do.
Perhaps the blame lies as much with the catwalk, as it does with those few 'unique' celebs for this worrying trend, as both Marni and Calvin Klein dabbled with this style in 2007.
Yes, two years have passed and still men are championing this look. Just when we thought we'd got on board with the skinny jeans phenomenon, they go and slap us in the face with their newly renewed femininity.
If you come home to find your man trying to squeeze his way into your wet-look leggings, call the style police immediately- there are people who can help you overcome your trauma.
