Leggings in male mode

[joan47]

I have started to wear leggings in male mode, I see some men in athletic type leggings jogging. My leggings are a bit more feminine and I usually wear with sneakers with pink highlights but more and more I am wearing with tall low heeled boots.

Tell us more. Are you tucking? Is there a visible panty line? Have people noticed or do they get mistaken for men's running tights? What are you wearing up top? You know what they say about a picture being worth a thousand words.

Here is my take.

I have been doing this for years. I almost always have a long shirt or sweater on, if not that then a low slung thick belt. In male mode tucking would just not work. Androgynous mode...it might. VPL? Kinda hard when there are none. I either wear only them or a pair of hose or tights under them, usually

Leggings at least to me are one of the most comfortable and functional items of clothing in my wardrobe, and I have many. I would like to get a pair of Black Milk ones soon, I have heard those are the best leggings out there.

I think I would also like wear these. In a sense, I sometimes do, running and or cycling tights are close, yes? If I do, it will be something like Pythos, with a long shirt or tunic, ( maybe an Indian style embroidered one? ) I have good legs, my GF is jealous of them, I like to show them off.

I like to wear leggings too a long shirt I think works best if you are in guy mode.

I wear VS leggings to yoga every week during the winter. I wear footless tights (with short bike-style lycra shorts) in the summer.

[edit] I should mention that I wear these in 100% guy mode. At 6 ft and 190 lbs, I am not the least bit androgynous.

I wear leggings under sweater dresses during the winter.
They are a great look with boots, and warm too.

Hi Taylor,

Can you please tell me how you deal with the bulge issue during yoga since you will be in many different yoga positions, the bulge will be evident. For this reason I only wear leggings when I can cover that area with a top or coat. I would never wear leggings to yoga because of this problem. Also, I only present as a feminine male and therefore I don't try to pass and definitely don't tuck.

I wear legging at home, although my daughters don't look at my crotch when they talk to me I always tuck so as not to offend the girls.

did you see the Olympic rowers? I remember a photo where they were congradulated, 3 had north pointing tools and the other went down his right leg - not really appropriate to me, but I'm old fashioned.

I wear a dance belt (Capezio N5930) to keep things firmly in position. All male ballet and modern dancers wear one, and that is where I first found out about it's power. This is not just a thong as it holds and smooths. And it's not tucking as everything is pulled up. You're not flat in front, like a women, but you're not bulging like an porno actor in tight polyester pants. (YMMV)

I also wear a t-shirt, untucked, which provides some coverage and our class is done in low-light so bulge shadow is not a factor. And, all the students in the class I take (23 women and one other guy) face the instructor so for the most part no one looks at your crotch.


[Edit: for the record, the photo showing the dance belt edited out by Lorileah was not me. It was a stock Capezio photo showing the dance belt on a male.]

I wear with tonic shirt or sweater, tuck, and of course there is a VPL,

[Taylor186]

... running and or cycling tights are close, yes?

Yes, definitely. My biking tights, running tights and leggings (and men's ballet tights) are all of similar weight, tightness, and opacity. The core material may be different as my leggings are 90% cotton and my running tights are 90% polyester, but other than that, no difference. And, for me Henry Ford got it right: "any color you want as long as it is black."

:facepalm: really people, do we have to ask questions about how you tuck, if you tuck or what are you wearing? Let's keep this semi-clean.

The question was about leggings not how you hide your stuff.

I wear women's leggings when I work out. Usually I wear shorts over them. Also, very comfortable just to lounge around the house.
