I have seen tights on men before (a la BryanBoy) but this is something new.
What do you think?
This model (from Kiminori Morishi S/S 09) pulls them off quite nicely. His legs are more slender than most average-sized women, I bet. Bring more colors into the mix could make the outfit look totally weird, though.
The second photo (Prada F/W 07) is more flattering. They can actually pass for skinny jeans. Leave it to Miuccia to make something so alien look so cool.
Third picture is from Marni F/W 07. Slightly shorter than the Prada look, but they can pass for jeans as well. I like the looser fit on these too.
Last picture is Bryanboy.
After looking at all these pictures, I realized the following:
In order to pull of the leggings look, men should:
1. Be BryanBoy. Or share his attitude/fabulosity.
2. Have the legs of Cole Mohr or Jullien Ferre or some other runway model.
3. Wear them a little loose and more long than short.
4. Stray away from colors on the brighter end of the color spectrum.

I approve! Although, I'd much prefer seeing my super chic gay best friend rocking them than my boyfriend although they both share a lithe frame. I hope that's not fashionist. ;)
