Male leggings? - Dragons' Den: Series 12 Episode 7 Preview - BBC

[@tpmm1]

Still think the black ones go so well with the white shirt. I wore black meggings to the office yesterday and commuted by train wearing them. Positive reactions, and some just don't bother, should you wear a potato bag. My co-workers said I could get away with anything. I'm so happy to be able to wear what I want, and the only inhibitions on why not to wear meggings is in my head sometimes. I do think some people can wear them more naturally than others. You have to be or at least seem confident and maybe not take it all too seriously. Look at all the changes in fashion over time. Remember the time with platform shoes and flares reviving late 90's? Or these turtle necks under blazers? High wasted pants? We laughed it up later, but guess what: It all will be or yet is back. Some may say they'll never wear them. And all of a sudden... Haha! Maybe I'll laugh at myself soon, but I felt happy in the moment. That gives me joy both now and then. ;-)

A downside of being a guy is that you get judged if you show a slight interest in how you looks. These guys want to challenge the male fashion standards and encourage guys to have fun with clothing. But all they got was laughed at.

[@nerdommeetsboy]

The shinier designs (especially the pink one) aren't aesthetically pleasing, simply down to how reflective the material is. But the triangle one? I could see that being pretty cool. It doesn't acentuate excessively, but is still very nice and does carry an 80s retroness with it. I'm sure people will be laughing about skinny jeans in 25 years time too; that's how fashion works. The thing with Dragons Den is they never take anything seriously. There's never really any "this is an awesome new product which will revolutionise humanity", it's just played for laughs.

[@sTitchLeggings]

Totally agree Raz...

[@_rcs]

sTitchLeggings The dragons' response was so rude, don't you think? For experienced professionals I would of thought they would of had a bit more respect and a sensible approach :/ Completely agree with Raz too.

[@sTitchLeggings]

Haha, thanks Rory!

[@SourMangoa]

sTitchLeggings The leggings looks like from Stitch.

[@viveliott5593]

That was brutal. Dragons are wrong though, nearly anything can be a fashion. Like other commenter said, men in 1700 wore tights.

[@adambanks2499]

well i'm buying a pair tomorrow fuck what anybody thinks

[@SourMangoa]

That's the way to go. You have confidence.

[@crazyrice82513]

No one cares really. No one cares. Only a group of 2 people have laughed. No else has bothered to care or laugh which isn't enough to give up comfort and style. Mine does have seams that make them look like underwear. Now I see everyone post videos and photos of themselves in underwear online and tiktok so not that it matters. I even wear my thick thermals out. Not long john waffle style but the athletic style. Wearing leggings makes everyday life easier not having anything over them to slow me down. Not that wearing shorts over is a issue either but best without during exercise and training for sure!

[@SourMangoa]

These judges are too old fashioned for leggings anyways. Yes, they pitched to the wrong audience, but that doesn't mean leggings for men is wrong or dead. They are very much socially acceptable and prominent in big cities.

[@agus86]

I love meggings. Congratulations, sTitch Leggings.

[@bradavon]

The Dragon's sexist remarks just show they don't get it.

[@vika0194]

Or it shows that they actually know the real world and aren’t politically correct.

[@Ellielove345]

This will be huge in 2030!!

[@MarxistKnight]

Wearing those, everyone will be able to see your “potential for growth”!

[@mifanarellanazeena]

Obviously they have never heard of Black Milk Clothing

[@EduardoRamírez-z4t]

La discriminación y las críticas siempre existirán, si te haces viejo no acabará la discriminación, disfrutemos nuestras modas.. SI A LOS LEGGINS PARA HOMBRES...

[@adsconlabouring]

Look at kapow or matador this panel has no idea they clearly missed their opportunity on this one. Wear what you want as long as your comfortable who gives a shit what people think.

[@moa4950]

Peter firing the shots!!!!! 🙊😏😎🔫

[@saucers4eyes695]

The judges really are the dullest, hetronormative dinosaurs around aren't they 😂

[@jones1068]

I agree

[@mayena]

I thought they were already an item was called meggings?.

[@busterdafydd3096]

The problem is they didn't have a matching top. They should of been wearing form fitting shirts or vests.

[@czarzenana5125]

I just don't get it. Dragons ridicule leggings for men while wearing a tie. What's the use of a tie? Looks like a tongue hanging down out of your mouth. I never wore a tie, I never owned a tie, and I probably never will. I will probably never wear a legging either, just don't have the legs for it.

[@Jessebella1]

I bought my boyfriend meggings, well, now my ex boyfriend..

[@bradavon]

Women wear leggings right? 🙄

[@Lucky0670]

Men wear leggings is very acceptable as you know men wore in the past and still for years so it time for men wear leggings that simple to wear it same as women wear Jeans even wearing men clothes so it equal...

[@CuriousCyclist]

They only invest in products that will sell. These won't, not as a mainstream men's clothing item. Maybe some time in the future they will.

[@AlbertFu]

smh the judges are so bad

[@fireshot1]

Awesome! But where to get leggings for men?

[@uslot22]

IN A WOMENS SHOP

[@philipashton1443]

Amazon.

[@r157698432]

I'd wear them, I do not see what is wrong with them!

[@SourMangoa]

Me too

[@SourMangoa]

***** So what's the problem with this world? They think it's gay!

[@SourMangoa]

***** I said they!

[@SourMangoa]

***** Who thought leggings were gay? I think that's you.

[@TELEVISIBLE]

They go to the wrong place, pitch to old boring business dinosaure about fashion

[@SourMangoa]

They need to pitch it to new hip investors.

[@SourMangoa]

***** Of course it's serious business.

[@1Strawbz1]

+TELEVISIBLE LMFAO

[@tpmm1]

+Sour Mangoa I agree!

[@uslot22]

Think their pitch was a load of Bollox

[@sissystephie]

YES!!! Wonderful ---- I wear leggings (tights) all the time when going out! Keep up the business!! Sissy Stephie

[@SourMangoa]

charltonw So beat them up then.

[@RobertLeat]

they're a bit too revealing for my liking

[@bradavon]

Should've worn relaxed clothes on top too, would've made all the difference.

[@245thegreat]

Evolution? Ok I'm ready to die now.

[@goalltheway-pm8xs]

Unbelievable! So much for grammar schools...

[@ianmcphail1430]

I think they`re brilliant. I`v got loads of them, and I wear them out in public. No problems whatsoever.

[@ReginaldHarrisJones]

The quintessential manifestation of everything I despise about the 21st century.

[@alexmacdougall6493]

Wasn't the early 21st century all about the desexualization of men's clothes. The 00s were all about dumpy and baggy clothing. It's only recently things are going back to the way they used to be. I mean the 80s and 70s had their share of provocative men's clothing, blouses on men, short shorts, the tightest of tight jeans. People get so ignorant of the past so quickly. Now everyone is reacting to this as if men haven't worn these kinds of clothing before

[@Blast2224]

Oh please. Did you even see the 70s and 80s? Half of the 90s? Men ran around in spandex all the time. You had crop tops, wide open unbottoned chests, socks up to your knees, glasses with frames the size of platters, neon green, and hair shape of oversized cotton candy. Bell bottoms. Satin shirts. Platforms. Get off your high horse like you're some paragon of men's fashion.

[@arrowstheorem1881]

Gay community has grown into a critical mass thus a huge market created

[@dntfeedzombies]

ok

[@jbfane]

Looks like they just stole lycra bike pants and called them their own invention. Laughing so very hard right now.

[@scousepete1000]

Haha.just watched it on bbc2.its got to be a joke.😂

[@mrandrewhumphrey]

The style is fine, suits guys with good legs, but the design, branding and colours are ugly.

[@SourMangoa]

How about solid color?

[@tpmm1]

Andrew Humphrey I really sympathize with these guys. They are all very nice and are doing a great job to promote these leggings for men. But I have to agree with you on the styles. In my opinion there are better looking ones on the market. I wear leggings and love them. If theirs were better looking, I'd buy them. But hey, not everyone has the same taste, which is quite obvious here.

[@SourMangoa]

tpmm1 Are you gay?

[@tpmm1]

+Sour Mangoa For a moment I thought you asked me if I was gay. ;)

[@SourMangoa]

tpmm1 I asked you if you like men.

[@makhtar6769]

2019 these come in denims also and everyone is wearing this crap.

[@subscribersyouare9458]

Leggings is worst

[@SamOwenI]

No no this is nasty...

[@MysticClaws100]

Seriously? There's people in the comments saying "Idk what the problem is". It's ridiculous. Leggings for men? It'd be fine if you were wearing them as a joke or for a fancy dress party but it's absolutely ridiculous. Past and future generations would be laughing at us if they could see this

[@tomavington7890]

This has to go down as a major fail from the dragons they were behind the curve on this one, loads of rival companies have sprung up since the show, and stich have actually improved their desgins, which in fairness were a bit lame at this point. The market is growing rapidly, here is an example of the rival brands , and this is just some of them! kapowmeggings.com/ meggingsman.com/ broyogapants.com/ www.lotusleggings.com/collections/mens-leggings
