Leggings

Recently, I saw an TV segment featuring Taiwanese Men Wear Leggings. Had done this article before and it drew mixed reviews. Honestly, I dont mind (yes, you read it correctly) a guy wear it but not colorful ones. Not at all as a matter of fact as fashion draws inspirations from everywhere.

For me, I had bought a couple of leggings from Uniqlo as the leggings were on sale (I think the sale is still ongoing). These were going less than SGD 10 each and I couldnt resist not to buy at this price.

Yup, I bought the boring solid black color instead coz of my thunder thighs. I did bought a couple in a variety of lengths. These were cropped leggings. One ended near the knees and the other ended at half of my calves. Didnt get the one that ended at the ankles coz I thought I might looked shorter.

Well, I may be wrong.

Hmmm, it's great for dancing and this was the comment made when I was wearing one. My initial idea of wearing tights was finding a way to prevent exposure when I had bought a little too short for comfort denim skirt.

Now, it become a staple wardrobe for dancing and these are the cheaper alternatives to 'replace' the older one that I bought in Topshop. Some places are retailing more than SGD 9.90 for a pair and both pairs cost me less than SGD 20.

The best combination that was suitable for me was a simple top, denim skirt and ballet flats / simple heels.

Will update the pictures later...feeling frustrated that there's some technical problems when I was trying to add a toolbar to my blog.

Tights / leggings for men? Anyone?

Do you guys mind wearing leggings / tights ?

In history, men did wore tights to keep themselves warm. Even today, there are many men who wear them for other reasons.

When I was in town today and saw a couple of guys wearing tights but they were not exactly wearing what these guys are wearing.

To be exact, they were wearing leggings with T-shirts only and I recalled one of them was wearing a pink pair of tights. It's so not manly but femmy and it's PINK. I understand androgyny dressing is a 'in' thing at this moment and they were very skinny. If they want to attract people's attention, I think that they might have left a bad aftertaste.

I do experiment with fashion trends but some of the clothes are simply not meant for 'ordinary' people whose dress sizes arent 0. What looks fabulous in on runway does not always look good on everybody, so do it with caution and understand your body well.

To me, the androgyny look is not for everybody. Yes, it's great to see creative in people's dressing but sometimes, your fashion sense could only end up as disaster. BTW, I do like what those guys wear on the website. These guys (who wore pink color tights) should do more research on how to wear tights / leggings.

As mentioned, as a guy would you wear tights / leggings as part of your dressing?

PS: If you are a guy, please tell us how you feel.
