What's worse than leggings? Men in leggings

men in leggingsI didn't think leggings could really get any worse, unless this year saw the comeback of leggings' first cousin, the stirrup pant, but boy was I wrong. And when I say, "boy," I really do mean "boy." All the rage for this fall will be men in tights, and we're not talking about football.

At the Marni men's runway show in Milan last week, the designer sent men down the catwalk in leggings made of microfiber cotton and wool, which would not have been as bad if they were, say, black, but they were violet and forest green. And did I say stirrups pants would be worse than leggings? The men's leggings had stirrup straps.

While I could maybe see this working in some big cities in Europe, I just cannot imagine men in leggings walking around L.A.

I am sick of seeing male models that look like skinny teenage girls, the are feminine, scrawny and unrealistic to what a man sould look like. Regardless be it "Leggings on men" or kilts, when you put it on these waif looking twits nothing looks decent.
