Looks as if meggings, aka leggings for men, are here to hang around for a while. Although, it's not a super new trend (Marni first put them on the runway in 2007), they are catching on.

I view meggings as natural extension of the ultra-skinny-jeans trend and it seems if Russell Brand couldn't seem to get enough of them last year. Meggings could be included in the trend towards a 'Girlfriend Look' for men aka style-conscious men raiding their girlfriends wardrobes. Think murses, skirts, and denim shorts. The opposite of the 'Boyfriend Look' for ladies (rolled baggy jeans, boyfriend blazer, etc.). But that's another post for another day!

So this is question is directed to both ladies and men. First off, ladies how would feel if your man brought home a pair of meggings. They are stylish with the right gear, right?! And men folk, would you actually purchase and wear a pair of meggings. Feel free to comment as well. I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
