Mantyhose/The Nylon Gene

Pam, I thank you for raising the question about why would men want to wear tights--a garment you've rejected for the reasons you gave in the article. OK, here's your answer. First thing, not ALL women consider them to be itchy and uncomfortable. Better quality material solves that problem, as does wearing the support-style for the problem of them sliding down--not to mention making your legs feel BETTER at the end of the day, not worse. As for wearing long johns for added warmth--you ever try wearing those under a pair of pants? They bunch up, they're too thick so they add bulk and wind up being too warm, too. Tights or sheer hosiery add warmth-without-bulk. I wear hose every day because poor leg circulation causes them to feel heavy, tired and achy at the end of the day without them. Wearing them allows me to work on my feet all day long and still have some energy left by evening. Since I need to wear them every day, I don't feel like I should have to forego wearing shorts in warm weather as a result, so I wear them with shorts, too. If you want more info on the mantyhose trend, try visiting my blog, The Nylon Gene (www.nylongene.com). I've written dozens of articles over the past couple years on the health aspects, as well as many other issues related to men's legwear and its growing acceptance. BTW, given that you've used two photos of me in your article, the least you can do is give a little 'shout out' to The Nylon Gene. Don't worry though, although the photos are licensed under Creative Commons, they're classified as 'Share Alike', meaning you only need to give attribution when you use them.
