Okay, first I talked about the Short Suit. Then the Mankini.
I’m not trying to turn this into a men’s fashion blog but they just keep throwing this stuff my way.
This article says that the Batman movie “The Dark Knight” has sparked a fad in men wearing pantyhose:
“Retailers in Europe and the United States say that men are buying pantyhose — sheer, satin, glossy, opaque or support — in skyrocketing numbers in recent months.”
If this is truly a fad, I really doubt it was inspired by a superhero movie. Maybe some dudes just want to look “polished,” are going for the sleek hairless look.
The article also points out that pantyhose was actually a staple of men’s fashion in humanity’s past — but that women stole the idea for themselves.

Weird…my wife has slowly been getting me to wear tighter jeans (not hipster tight, but not baggy– I have nice legs!) & thus I’ve been thinking about tights a lot.

Wrong Val! The kilt is the next big trend in men’s fashion.
I’m way ahead of the curve.

I’m so happy on behalf of all of my gender!
