The American designer duo Adam Freck and Andrew Volk took the "skinny jeans" trend one step further. They created these "meggings" - tight leggings for men - which, as they say, will soon become an everyday fashion item on the streets.
For several years now, urban men's fashion has been turning towards more and more bold, feminine inspired pieces of clothing, such as men's tunics, extreme shorts and of course leggings. We have seen the latter in the past fashion weeks, above all as an accessory under shorts and music stages, as in the recent one Super Bowl, when the group's singer set fire to them Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis.
The British were said to be among the first to devote themselves more seriously to the creation of leggings for men Luke Shipley and Tom Hunt. After two years 2012 forced to wear women's leggings at a party, they came up with the idea of starting their own men's line under the brand sTitch Leggings. They followed them Adam Freck and Andrew Volk, which are the first collection of the then tight spandex leggings otherwise presented for years 2008, but they are an online store Meggings Man opened only last December. This further strengthened the name of men's leggings "meggings".
Since then, Freck and Volk have been full time with ever-increasing demand. Their secret is that they are shape and completely adapted the material to men's requirements, which should make wearing meggings completely comfortable. According to the duo from Chicago, they are the most popular right now classic black or metallic black meggings, although theirs offer also includes some wilder colors and patterns. In the future, they intend to upgrade the current designs with e.g. adding pockets, which are an almost indispensable element of men's trousers and versions made of warmer fabrics for colder months of the year.
Confident in their vision, they believe that the meggings will be perfect came to life already this spring, especially on many upcoming ones music festivals. At the same time, they also see an opportunity at weightlifting competitors, who are already interested in the eye-catching fashion item.
Nevertheless some fashion critics doubt it, that it is a trend that will actually persist. Volk claims the opposite, because in his opinion, the trend of "skinny jeans" and ever tighter pants has set new standards in recent years, with which even modern men have become more and more open to such a thing. So theirs not intended to replace pants, but just follow the fashion wave with different ways of wearing it. And you, would you wear them?
