Leggings on dudes Yes or No? | Style, Fashion & Clothing

In my case yes. Funny thing about me, I happen to a have a body type that lends itself to looking better in leggings. I tend to fall between sizes. Sometimes I've had my pants altered in the past. But my legs always look better in leggings over pants. I tried the shorts over leggings thing, but on me, it looks odd.

I don't wear them like a biker though. I wear a shirt long enough to be modest in the front and back, unlike most ladies. I found a brand of Nike shirt that actually looks good on a guy wearing leggings. Probably wouldn't look good on a female though, because the shirt is cut for a guy. It sort of resembles a short tunic, but that's only because of my height. 5'7 and 3/4 feet tall.

I usually wear Under Armor, or other sports leggings.

My legs are slightly bowed. You can't tell unless you really pay attention. But I think that's why my legs have always looked a bit off in pants. When I wore leggings however, the bowing silhouetted my legs better. The right shirt on top complimented my lower half. So for me yes, leggings for guys, or at least this guy.

I know most people say no. I used to think the same way. Then I realized certain body types lend themselves to different styles. That goes for men and women. But guys have gone fashion stagnant for the last several decades, so they don't realize that about themselves.

My impression has been that most people seem to think it looks good on me. Leggings are unisex after all.
