Men In Tights: 'Meggings' Are Taking Manhattan By Storm

I used to sell chiffon printed skirts imported from India on Dead tour, and some of the customers were men.
Some of the customer would give me a sly look and explain that whenever they put the skirt on they got laid like crazy.
I've heard the same story from guys in Bali who wear sarongs.

Yeah, but what is style? Too me, style can come from inside as well as outside.
I read a book called "Impro" about improvisational theater, and in it they talk about how they worked with masks. Every year, they'd have a new crop of students using the same masks from the previous years. Interestingly, the students would produce the same characters from the masks year after year. Each mask had it's own character and personality, and would come to life when worn by different people.
I think that fashion can operate like this in some ways as well. You can wear something that makes you feel more like a particular archetype you are trying to channel.
I don't think it's one-size fits all.
For example, I'm not huge muscle guy, but when I wear my leather biker jacket in the bar, other guys tend to stay out of my way more.
On the other side of that is there could be a guy who is the big muscle guy, and it might work against him if he came with a biker jacket looking too tough. It might look corny or try-hard.
So, style is about finding the right thing for you. What can you wear that will help you get what you need?
Maybe a custom suit can come off try-hard in certain situations. Are you going to wear a custom suit to burning man? Ha- maybe that would actually work well. But, you see what I'm trying to say?
I think the key thing to what you preach about suits is the word:
CUSTOM
Everyone here should be customizing what they wear as much as possible. Customized style reflects intention and social intelligence. I agree that suits are a classic look for men, but there are other styles that can be employed. I do customize my look to optimize the ease of swooping. But, it's not about adapting to appease girls- I bet on finding a look that makes me stand out or helps me feel more present as a huge boost to my game. This makes the whole process more graceful. And, what is more stylish than grace?

Been rocking the leggings for awhile, most comfortable shits ever. So much easier to get off than the super skinny denim and not to mention they're only 20 bucks a pair compared to the 60 or 70 bucks you'd spend at Topman. Did I mention all the awesome patterns too?

This just kind of makes me think that the 80s and hair metal is coming back. Which would be pretty cool.

^^^ Can you show us a guy in tights actually pulling the hottest girl in the club?
And soup, why are you hanging out in clubs where men wear tights?

Question to the forum:
If wearing "meggings" or other girly clothing got you lots of positive attention from hot bitches, would you wear them?

There's nothing inherently unmanly about leggings or tights or even skirts-these were what men often wore for thousands of years.
I will say that I wear a kilt a few times a year and it gets me far more enthusiastic female attention than any other item of clothing I wear

Don't want to hijack - this is on topic somewhat...
Where would I go in Toronto for some nice but affordable threads? Classics that aren't too in-today-out-tomorrow that will last me 5 or 10 years. And not much money to spend so a nice outfit for under $200 or so would be great. Something that looks great and stylish without looking overdressed like every Friday is New Years Eve.
Any ideas?
