Hey men, there’s a little 8 letter word that we need to have a conversation about. Many of you have thought about it. You may have even had a conversation or two  about it. Even if the conversation was just in your head with yourself. 

But today, I’m here to help get that little 8 letter word out in the open and have a healthy one on one dialogue about it. This is a safe space guys. We’re all friends here. There’s no shame in what I’m about to say. SO, here it goes…

Men can wear leggings.

That’s right.

Now I want you to say it even louder and prouder with me.

MEN CAN WEAR LEGGINGS!

Doesn’t that feel good? 

Been keeping that in for far too long, huh?

Feels kinda like you can take a deep breath, right?

Good.

Now, let’s talk it out together. Men have every right to wear leggings (or meggings) as much as we women do. Men's leggings are a thing. It's not just in your head. There is such a thing as men's leggings. Men, you get to wear men's leggings. They are NOT just for women. Do you hear me? I'm here for you. But I can tell you’re still a little bit in your head, aren’t you?

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking about your dong and nutsack, right? So let’s talk about it. Don’t keep it in. You’re wondering will it show beneath my leggings? The answer is simple.

Yeah. It may. 

But honestly, there are worse things. And if that TRULY stresses you out, we’re gonna discuss how to fix that problem (if it even IS one).

Let’s get started. 

Men’s leggings, often referred to as “meggings,” have transcended their gym-only origins and are now a versatile fashion staple. Whether you’re heading to a workout, running errands, or dressing up for a night out, we’re going to discuss how to style men’s leggings for any occasion. 

Men's leggings offer comfort, flexibility, and a sleek silhouette that traditional pants often can't match. They’re perfect for layering, making them a practical addition to any wardrobe. 

I can hear your thoughts right now.

“But how can I wear my men's leggings without feeling out of place?” 

Well my fine friend, if I had a time machine, I’d set the dial to 1501 right smack in the middle of the Renaissance and take you for a little ride. We’d step off my proverbial time machine in Italy just in time to see Giovanni, Leonardo, and Francesco head down a cobblestone street to the high court of Medici in Florence for a local jousting tournament. 

You stare. So do I. Then you turn to me. You see my smile. 

All three men proudly rushed past us wearing their men's leggings complete with codpieces adorning their beloved Johnsons. Yes, you read that correctly. The men of The Renaissance loved their dicks. In fact, they did whatever they could do to draw attention to their nether regions. So they placed an accessory made of jewels and embellishments over their men's leggings to accentuate their size and prove their ability to copulate and procreate. And those accessories were called, “codpieces.”

And now you get my smile. 

Within minutes, we’d step back on my PTM (proverbial time machine) and I reset the dial to 1987 where we step off in New York and into the wings of The Madison Square Garden just as Bon Jovi takes the stage. 

You stare. So do I. 

Then you turn to me. You see me smile even bigger than our last trip. John Bon Jovi is a literal Rock God. And he is wearing the tightest pair of purple leggings that I’ve ever seen. And I am happy. Like VERY happy.

It all sinks in. This history lesson may have been the most profound one you’ve ever had. Is that a bold statement? Maybe. 

But as we get back onto my PTM and take our seats, you turn to me and declare that you too want to wear what those men wore so well. I ask you what that is. And to my delight you answer. “Confidence.”

It all makes sense to you now. My job here may be done. 

But alas, I shall finish my blog on how to style men's leggings and accomplish (hopefully) what I set out to do. Yes, all the men we visited during our time machine trip had a common love for men's leggings, but what looked better on them than the tight pair of meggings they donned, was that undeniable air of confidence. And that my dear one, is the sexiest thing you can wear. The rest is just fashion.

So let’s get you dressed. And in your off time, you work on that winning smile and swagger.

Oh, and we’re all adults here, so let’s just get the conversation about your johnson out of the way now. If you’re worried about seeing him through your men's leggings and if the bulge is going to be too much, there are ways to address that. First off, you can always wear a dance belt underneath your men's leggings to help smooth things out. If that isn’t your thang, you can always wear a curved hem or curved bottom oversized shirt, like this one. It will hang plenty low over your men's leggings and then you can just layer it with sweatshirts, cardigans, jackets, or blazers.

Now that we know what to do with your nuts and berries, let’s create some outfits! I chose 5 looks to help you style your men’s leggings using SpiritHoods men's leggings (of course) to create looks for this season. 

1. Men's Summer Street Style
2. Men's Festival Outfits
3. Men's Smart Casual
4. Boys Night Out
5. Men's Athleisure

And by now, you all know that I support slow fashion. I’m trying to do my little part in keeping this planet as healthy as we can. And supporting companies that recognize their workers. So my suggestions will be companies that have transparency, eco-friendly and sustainable practices. But you do you!  These are just my suggestions, so feel free to use them as a guideline when putting together your men's leggings outfits. Plus, I like giving these smaller companies a bit of love. They don't get as much attention as faster fashion, and they deserve a little bit of the spotlight too.

What exactly IS men’s street style?

Men's street style fashion is an ever-evolving blend of individuality, culture, and trends that reflects the urban environment. It is characterized by a mix of casual and edgy elements, often influenced by music, art, and social movements. AND add summer. 

So take all those ingredients, a pair of SpiritHoods' men's leggings and add a dash of summer and you get men’s summer street style. 

Experiment with different textures and layers to create a unique, edgy look.

• Men's Leggings:  SpiritHoods Golden Floral Cheetah Foil Men's leggings and SpiritHoods' Tiger Velvet Contrast Sport Men's Leggings.
• Top: A casual tank top, like this from Pact or this one from Aya. Basic Tees are always a great option like this organic bamboo one from Onno or this one from Toad&Co. Or go for a bit more of a dressed up look with  a short-sleeved button-down shirt, like this one from NAADAM or this one from DoneGood.
• Throw on an oversized sweatshirt when the weather cools down at night, like this one from allbirds. I love this company, they are fully transparent and are committed to having a zero carbon footprint by 2030 and they use only sustainable and eco-friendly materials. 
• Footwear: I love these sneakers from Nothing New. They’re made from 100% sustainable materials. And these organic Palladium boots are a great alternative to sneakers. 
• Accessories: These sustainable sunglasses from Sunski are classic and will pair well with any men's leggings outfit. Throw on an eco-friendly baseball cap, like this one from Flipside Hats, a colorful recyclable eco-friendly watch from Speidel. 

  l and you’ll be set! Men's leggings outfit number is a go!

Men’s leggings, or “meggings,” have become an essential part of men’s festival fashion. Comfortable, versatile, and stylish, men's leggings can be the perfect choice for a long day of music, dancing, and fun. And be sure to focus on bold patterns and fun colors! Whether you're heading to Coachella, Burning Man, or any other festival, here’s how to style SpiritHoods’ men's leggings to make a statement. Cuz obviously we like to make statements. Double duh.

More is more! This is where you get to be bold and have fun. Let your inner child come out and play. Ditch those 9-5 clothing rules and be wild! Pair bright SpritHoods' men's leggings with colorful prints.

• Men's Leggings: At SpiritHoods, we know men's leggings and we know bold. And we know that you know that that is what festival fashion is all about. So don’t worry. We got you. My top SpiritHoods’ men’s leggings are the holographic rainbow snakeskin foil men's leggings, the sea turtle foil men's leggings, the sunset leopard velvet men's leggings, and the neon pink royal leopard foil men's leggings. 
• Top: This tie dye organic cotton tank from Industry Of All Nations is made from natural fermented indigo dye. They adhere to the guidelines of “The Clean Clothes Project” and have so much cool stuff. Be sure to check them out! These oversized asymmetrical tops from Valo Designs are made from bamboo and will go nicely with any pair of SpiritHoods men’s leggings. They come in a bunch of different colors and are perfect for dancing the day and night away in comfort.
• Footwear: You definitely want to make sure your feet are comfortable during music festivals. Nothing will slow you down faster if your feet don’t feel good. Comfortable sneakers, boots or casual slip-ons, like these from Reef are always a safe bet. And Reef is such a cool company. They use only sustainable materials and are dedicated to protecting our ocean and preserving our reefs. These colorful Teva sandals just make me happy and are so comfortable (trust me, I own several pairs of Tevas and my feet LOVE them). Another great option for men’s festival footwear fashion, are the good ol' classic Doc Martens. These vegan ones will never go out of style and you will wear them with everything. 
• Accessories: Now that we have your main pieces figured out, throw on a beanie or a bucket hat to complete this men's leggings look. At SpiritHoods, we have lots of fun men’s beanies and bucket hats to choose from. Like this ultra soft and festive beanie. Oh, you want something even bolder? No problem, try this neon green bucket hat. Go dance under black lights and watch yourself glow in the dark. You’re welcome.

Men's smart casual style is a versatile and modern dress code that balances professionalism with a relaxed, stylish edge. It's perfect for various occasions, from office settings to social gatherings. So for all my fancy men that have a little bit of edge to their 9-5 dress code, listen up. 

Mix casual pieces with more formal ones to create a balanced, smart casual look. And ensure all clothing items are well-fitted to your body shape for a polished appearance…which won’t be a problem for your bottom half. Because SpiritHoods men’s leggings will fit nice and snug to your body.

• Men's Leggings: Start with SpiritHoods’ Black Panther Velvet Men’s Leggings and build from there. They are our most popular and for a good reason, they are versatile and go nicely with almost anything and any color. If you’re just getting acquainted with men’s leggings, this pair is a great place to start.
• Top: Pair with a longline t-shirt, a casual crew neck sweatshirt, or a rugby. These bamboo lounge tees by Cozy Earth are great for a relaxed, easy feel. When the weather cools down a bit, layer your men's leggings look with this recycled crewneck sweatshirt from RicherPoorer or this cotton Rugby from Buck Mason will look great with the printed men’s leggings. Or go for a bit more of a casual sophisticated look and add a cardigan, like this one from Tentree made from organic cotton and modal. OR…why not create a little juxtaposition and throw on this beautiful and easy linen blazer in black by Quince.
• Footwear: Sneakers or athletic shoes work best for a casual vibe. Boots like these by Will’s Vegan Store or high-top sneakers like these made from Loci made out of bio leather, a polymer material blended from corn waste are mind blowing sustainable and cruelty-free choices. And that will never go out of style. 
• Accessories: Add a baseball cap and a casual backpack for a sporty touch. Or pair with a sleek watch and a messenger bag. I’m sure you have something like this in your closet. Take a look around. I call it closet shopping and every season I do it. I go through everything that I ALREADY have and forgot about and it feels like I just went shopping. So pull some of your favorite accessories and complete your men's leggings look. And in case you have always been in the market for a nice watch, this one from Holzkern is made of genuine leadwood and marble. The price point is incredible for a little bit of luxury that will last you a lifetime.

This could be a casual dinner, bar hopping, or a night at a friend's place. Or anything that involves you going out at night with other guys. Comfort is key, but you still want your boys night out men's leggings look to be put together with a bit of edge and your individual personality.

Confidence is key. Choose any of the following SpiritHoods’ men’s leggings and pair them with equally stylish tops, cardigans or coats, and accessories.

• Men's Leggings: SpiritHoods men’s snakeskin black velvet leggings and SpiritHoods’ men’s bronze python foil leggings are two great options for creating the base to your “Boys Night Out” men's leggings evening look. 
• Top: Depending upon what the plans are for the evening, you can wear anything from a fitted shirt to a graphic t-shirt with your men's leggings. If your night out is a dinner or bar, try a nice fitted shirt like this henley from Fresh Clean Clothes. They create eco-friendly clothes that are high quality and affordable. Plus you can feel great about purchasing with them because they partner with Coral Reef Alliance, an environmental non profit that works to save the world’s coral reefs. Throw on a relaxed cardigan like this one from Everlane. If you’re heading to a concert or a club, try a graphic tee with a black black denim jacket, like this one from Levi’s paired with your SpiritHoods' men's leggings and you're good to go. Also, don’t be afraid to mix patterns when going out. Try a printed top like these from Dedicated. If the look is intentional, then you can get away with it. Everything from Dedicated is eco-friendly, fair trade, and recycled. Or how about a SpiritHoods’ Men’s Varsity Jacket? 
• Footwear: Nice sneakers or stylish boots. I love these vegan sneakers by SAYE. They are made from a bio-based vegan corn leather, bamboo lining, and a touch of vegan suede on the tip. If you want a more polished look with your men's leggings, opt for Chelsea boots like these beautiful vegan boots by NAE. 
• Accessories: Let your own personal style come through. I’m personally a less is more kind of gal. But I’m gonna let you do you. And if you need a little push, I’m obsessed with this hammered gold wide band by Automic Gold. It’s bold, simple, and elegant. Plus they’re such a cool company owned by AL Sandimirova, an indigenous, queer, non-binary refugee. They use only recyclable and sustainable materials. 

Men's athleisure is a versatile and stylish fashion trend that combines athletic wear with leisurewear.

By choosing the right pieces, focusing on fit, and accessorizing wisely, you can master the men's leggings athleisure look and feel confident in any setting achieving the perfect balance of functionality and fashion.

Keep it sporty but tailored for a well put together men's leggings athleisure look. 

• Men's Leggings: SpiritHoods Arabian Leopard Velvet Men’s Leggings and SpiritHoods King Cheetah Faux Suede Men's Leggings are the perfect base for styling your men’s leggings athleisure wear.
• Top: A stylish sweatshirt, hoodie, or a bomber jacket. Try a graphic hoodie like this one by Tentree. They plant ten trees for every item purchased and use only sustainably sourced and recycled materials. And this SpiritHoods men’s ultra soft black panther hoodie goes with literally any of our leggings. This waffle long sleeve shirt by Outdoor Voices will go nicely with all of our leggings, giving you a sporty, yet pulled together look. And to top it off slip on this bomber jacket by Fresh Clean threads. 
• Footwear: Trendy sneakers or high-tops. I’m sure you all have footwear to compliment your men’s leggings athleisure look, but if not, these sneakers by allbirds will help complete the style. These hightops by Nothing New are also a great alternative.

Throw on a sustainable and eco-friendly baseball hat, like these from Project Cece, an eco-friendly body sling like this one from Made Trade, and a pair of sustainable and recycled aviators like these from Blue Planet and you’ve got yourself a well dressed men’s leggings athleisure look.
