Sometimes I long for the days when men dressed like Frank Sinatra. So dapper, so handsome, so well put together. Yes I do realize that some of Franks actions may have been questionable. I’m not talking about a great man being in the suit. I’m talking about the suit only. Well, do you know what I’m pretty sure men of that decade would never put on their bodies ever? Meggings. That’s what. What in the sweet baby Jesus is happening??? Are men of today actually on board with this wanna be trend? Or do they find it as ridiculous as the rest of us? I can maybe see wearing them in the gym, but I DO NOT want to see the outline of your package while I’m grabbing a coffee. I feel like its watching me like The Mona Lisa. There are so many of my friends that I want to set up on dates and tell the guy to show up in meggings. Then I would sit back and watch the show. I’m sure their reactions would be something people would tell their children about over the years. Like really unsexy folklore.
I personally blame Russell Brand for starting this. Well guys here’s a tip. If your going to pick a celebrity to follow your life choices after…..he’s probably not your best pick. That however is a whole different ball of yarn and I don’t feel like pulling that thread. I also realize opinions are like assholes, but if your looking like him because your trying to score the amount of women he has then here’s another little tip. They aren’t sleeping with him because of his meggings. They’re sleeping with him because of his money and sense of humor.
I have seen some men rock meggings. Putting them under kilts or shorts mixed with combat boots and beanies is a pretty amazing styling technique. I can get on board with that. However just throwing a pair on with a t shirt and running out the door will not be your best look. Unless your going to the gym or you were wearing them around when the fire alarm went off and you had to run into the street, just don’t.
I have heard so many women talk about not having the door held for them or about men not having old school manners in general. Do you want them to reminisce the same way about the days when you guys wore actual pants?? I didn’t think so.
Obviously you don’t have to listen to me. Opinions are opinions. But if your going to be out trying to get ladies interested in you then I don’t know how that’s going to go for you and your meggings. If this is a choice that your really going to fight tooth and nail then rock them. If those meggings give you a boost of self confidence like nobody’s business then you strut your spandex stuff down the street. However, if the girl you asked out said no it wasn’t because of your hair. As long as you didn’t approach her like a total jerk then I blame your pants (or lack thereof).
Please don’t let this be a phase that lingers on though. Let your meggings be like a trip to Vegas. Get it out of your system and then return to normality. We already have Miley Cyrus’s tongue to deal with. Please don’t add meggings to it.
