Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

I had to remove this signature as it was being used on Twitter. This is my OPINION, you NEEDN'T AGREE.

I really hope this catches on. I will stick to my girl tights myself. But tights in the winter under pants and tights under a skirt in the fall is the cats meow!

But the Bonnie Doon brand ones are at least available in a range of sizes, which is a start. Depends if you're looking for ones which actually *say* they're mens.

I couldn't give a fig whether or not they say "mens". The best would be "pantyhose" or "tights" or " legwear". No men's, no Women's just what the item is.

Personally, I think the term "legwear" sums it up best. It's completely gender-neutral and lacks most of the "overload" that the other common terms carry. +1.
