If you thought men in tights was a sartorial statement best left to medieval jesters, think again. The underwear staple for women is making its way into wardrobes of the opposite sex - and the look is gaining popularity. If any were in doubt as to the strength of the trend, it even has its own name: Mantyhose.

What the hell is wrong with people today? Sometimes I really think this world needs one hell of a good war to reset priorities.

I do believe that fellow is an athlete. Totally different. I think it’s the gay takeover of the fashion industry that’s been screwing things up for ages. Female models are shaped like boys and now men are wearing pantyhose because a couple of numbskulls or pervs say it’s ‘fashion’. I don’t know any men who would be caught dead or alive in them.

"The Piece of Cod that surpasseth all understanding" OMG, what a pun! I LOL'ed so loudly and explosively at that, that the cat reposing on my lap exploded as well, went airborne straight up a good foot and a half, and when she landed she was already going 30MPH sideways. I probably won't need stitches, but only because there's not enough left to sew; this is a job for SuperGlue.

Those look like wrestling tights to me :P
To: Pride_of_the_Bluegrass
Sorry, even the hot babe in the photo can't make this guy look any less gay.
To: martin_fierro
Maybe we should bring back the codpiece too. Women get pushup bras, miracle bras, and water bras. Two can play at that game!
To: Revolting cat!
Velvet blazer, patterned tights, Daisy Dukes, Creepers...how the hell did that guy get into my closet???

Do not laugh but I have known men to wear them. These men were not gay and were roughnecks on drilling rigs in some of the coldest damn places you can imagine. They would layer their clothing.
1. underwear
2. panty hose
3. insulated long johns for legs and upper body
4. insulated overalls
If you accused them of being a bit effeminate it would be a real bad day for you.

You must have forgot Joe Namath in panty hose (of course it was just and ad for him).
**********************
The ad came later. As I recall, the game was during bitterly cold temperatures and many of the Jets’ players wore pantyhose under their uniform pants for the additional warmth they provided.
