Now we’ve all heard of ‘leggings’ – the women’s substitute for uncomfortable jeans. Brace yourselves, there’s a new ‘legging’ in town, formally known as ‘meggings.”
I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this…meggings are leggings for men! They’ve traditionally always been known to be the choice of trousers for ballet dancers and some catwalks. Now taking over Manhattan, they could slowly make a fashion statement on the streets of United Kingdom. The chilly streets will obviously not put off the fashionistas!
It’s not just ‘normal’ men who are wearing meggings, celebrities from Justin Bieber to Russell Brand have also been spotted in some. You certainly have to have the legs to wear this trend – it’s extremely unforgiving.
The new trend – set to hit shops/online in the UK in 2013 is a ‘replacement’ for the skinny jeans. Skinny jeans were a bit hit among the male population – personally, I just can’t see meggings doing as well.
I guess only time will tell, will we all be walking around in leggings or will the trend be lost on it’s travel across the ocean?
