Say Hello to Mantyhose!

The Dame just dropped this on my desk and the office is vibrating from the amount of laughter. My intern doesn’t believe this is real. Photographic evidence young padawan!

Those crazy Brits are always two steps ahead of the fashion spectrum. And now, they have set their sights on covering those nasty man-legs of yours…with pantyhouse for men, aka MANTYHOSE!

Via the Mail:

“Demand among male shoppers for pantyhose has apparently been soaring over the past five years. Selfridges in London has now responded with a range designed exclusively for guysized legs. The tights, dubbed mantyhose, are made by lingerie brand Unconditional and are a tough 120 denier thickness. They come in black, beige and charcoal - but unfortunately not green, a la Errol Flynn - and will cost £70.”

Seriously Kittens, I am laughing so hard I think I just peed a little.

The article continues by reminding us all that tights were once a fashion necessity for men–200 years ago!

I am a huge fan of the Camo Mantyhose, but my intern, well according to him:

“There isn’t one thing I like about this.”

i think £70 for a pair of opaques is very expensive, i have been wearing womens pantyhose (or tights in UK) for about 30 years and would rather spend £5-£6 in Marks & Spencers on 20 Denier Firm Support Tights or 40 Denier Bodysensor Support Opaque Tights as these are probably a better product.

Yeh I remember now we used to laugh that hard when women started wearing trousers and ties. Some men even called them dikes!! Women have had their sexual revolution, it’s time for men to have theirs…
