Men in tight pants

You've grimaced at manpris. Cringed at murses. Rolled your eyes at mandals.

Now, it's time test your tolerance for the newest trend in male fashion vernacular:

Meggings.

As in, male leggings.

This is perhaps the lowest low in male fashion. I have a hard enough time keeping my stomach contents intact when I see guys wearing skinny emo jeans.

Add an extra level of tightness, and I'm gone. It's hard to believe meggings have actually made public appearances in big cities like New York.

The good news?

Like most cutting-edge runway trends, they'll probably never make it to Columbus.

Although the folks at Fort Benning might be interested to know meggings boast a sleek style that likely fares well in combat.
