Is this an aberration or is legwear for men a fashion thats here to stay?
Consider this: People today seem to think of fashion as fixed, but it changes over time and geography, sometimes slowly, sometimes rather quickly. Legwear was worn by men (think Robin Hood) long before it was worn by women. Men today are relegated to rather limited and some would say boring fashion choices. It wasnt always so. Three centuries ago men of the 1700s wore silk stockings, high heeled buckled shoes, lace, satin, and powdered wigs. They also wore bright colors. They were the peacocks of the species. In the early 1800s men began to wear long pants and dull colors, and its been that way for 200 years. Women, on the other hand, almost always wore long skirts that never showed their feet, much less their legs, but in the past century that has certainly changed! And pantyhose, once the necessary accessory, are seen less and less often on women today. Well, if they cant appreciate the practical benefits, maybe men can! So you see, fashions are dynamic. Heres another analogy.
