Girls had to wear skirts or dresses in school, even in the middle of winter!>You would be surprised at the number of men who wear hosiery. Perhaps not publicly. So it IS a social issue. I'm really surprised that major hosiery manufacturers haven't developed hosiery for the untapped "male" market! >Sure, they make "running tights" and charge exorbitant prices! But I would bet you that if L'eggs or Hanes came out with colored tights or hose in NFL team colors and logos, you would see men wearing tights on a regular basis within 10 years. (let's see if my prediction is true! lol) >>>Go, Laura, Go! Actually, there is a company producing male tights and pantyhose (Comfilon) but they're not that high-profile yet. There were a few attempts in the past few years to market tights to men. First, there was the whole bike-tights thing, and we all knew where that went, but there was also a company that was marketing mens thermal tights in, if memory serves, Sportmart. I bought a few pairs and they were top-notch, but they didn't last. I think there are plenty of guys around who would like to wear tights, certainly enough to keep a line of them going, but there's that stigma keeping them from making the leap from guy-who'd-like-to-wear-tights, to guy-who-wears-tights. That's the battle-line, right there, although there's a further one between the latter and "guy-who-wears-tights-in-public" (I used to wear bike tights out a lot, and frankly, the incidents of derision outnumbered the incidents of compliment, and (he said modestly) I've got a body made for tights-wearing!)>>>So I guess what I'm trying to say is, I sure hope you're right!-Depon Antworten zu diesem Beitrag:
