Beyond manbags: pantyhose for men


Why men should never wear tights


There’s no good way to say this, but some men like wearing pantyhose. I don’t mean in a cross-dressing, “Just call me Phyllis,” sense, but in a normal, “Well, it feels nice and boxers can be so bulky,” kind of way.

The trend for straight men to invade female fashion territory is seemingly unstoppable. Even before manscara and guyliner there were man bras, or manzieres. Now there are umpteen websites for male nylons.

I know man bags are not new, but I’d never seen one carried quite so girlishly before.

But where was the bitchy derision, the piling in to kick a man and his bag when he’s down? Nowhere. Ross’s ensemble barely elicited a snigger, which must mean that acceptance is here.
