The Bottom Drawer Forums

Alright everyone, glad to announce that thanks to the community and TBD shining a light on leggings hype, I have finally bought a pair and gave it a whirl. Pair is the Leonisa / Leo Men Training Tights:

It might change my life ha, decided to use for the gym as my legs could use the support for recovery, as typically advertised. Wore them over a Body Aware Satin Shimmer thong of all things, and it felt pretty new but pretty good!

Legs definitely recovered a little differently this time around, and while running a couple errands (they were worn under gym pants as a layer) I almost didn't want to take them off!

I walk around a TON at work and on the last days chafing can be an issue which I didn't realize these help with! It was also getting a little cold later that night which again, the tights helped with ha! Wanted a decent starter pair, for sure will maybe have a collection in the future! Glad I'm in the know now, and again thanking the community for the support.

Anyways, after my little story I'm really interested in what brands, models, leggings and tights everyone has had or had good luck with? I feel for men, this side if the world is still not as varied, I know there's also a unisex movement for legging pairs, varying styles, some more flattering than others etc. I'd appreciate a share, any positive experiences, advantages you've had! Cheers!

Bump!

Hmm, fairly new here, and sad to see not many legging fans?

Haven't yet found a fave. So far, The Cloudmall Style 2 is quite nice.

Anyone else out there?

That is only way to go to gym or out

I’ve got some Dicks Sporting Goods men’s leggings. Pretty comfortable around the house so far.

I'm a big leggings fan and have a decent collection by now. My go to is Kapow performance line (https://kapowmeggings.com/collections/performance-range). They're on the pricier end so I usually wait for a sale but they've got really good compression, I like their length and they stay put and stretch well.

I also have some of their originals line which don't have the same level of compression but are nice for lighter days.

I've got a drawer full of leggings and love them! Mostly I have UnderArmour Men's Heat Gear leggings. I wear them every time I go to the gym and occasionally wear them in real life. They're comfortable, sweat-wicking, and easy to move in. The ones I have come in a bunch of different colors so they're fun to wear, too. I've also got some Real Men leggings (B pouch, I think), some Dr Skin leggings, and a couple of other brands as well.

My sister-in-law converted me to Lululemon, and I am sold on Wundertrain leggings for the lifting in the gym. I have two pairs of the Wundertrain 25" pocket leggings. (Their t-shirts are nice--especially when you receive them as gifts.) Amazing, but I don't like wearing them around all day after the gym. Have a belly, so I prefer the higher waistband. Apparently the saleswoman at Lululemon diverts men to the women's Lululemon leggings as they don't carry them in the local store (they also have a lower rise). They are pricey, but oh my god, they are durable, pass a squat test, and feel great working out in. They are also very durable and last a long time.

I also have some Adidsas print 3.4 leggings with waistband--almost a bluish white tie die. They are not see through. Though I have tried a number of other Adidas leggings on that were see through and either did not buy them or returned them.

I also have a pair of Title 9 Women's Crash Leggings for Winter - they are most excellent. I wear them for hiking and around the house in winter. I also have a pair of their soft-shell leggings. Not bad.

I also have CW-X leggings that are great sometimes for recovery or when I need a lot of compression. I feel like they do not breather, so I do not wear them a lot. Except, I have their winter leggings, and they are great for hiking, layering, or around the house. I could wear those around the house for winter.

I don't find some of the leggings as breathable as I would like in warmer months, so I have tended to wear joggers or just thongs around the house in warmer months.

I love wearing leggings, wish they were more socially acceptable in public but time will improve that. My issue is always I am not a fan of the seam running up the middle of the front (love the seam running up the middle of the back) it just makes it hard to position. Do you put the goods one side, split them across both sites, put the balls one site and the old fella the other?

Yeah, wish we could wear leggings in public, too. Women wear 'em everywhere, all the time, why can't we? I wear 'em around the house all the time and I've snuck them out in public a few times. If I'm going to the drive thru, I wear 'em for sure

I think a big part of wearing leggings is something many of us just have to get over and do it. I got asked to go to a movie and get out of the heat today. I told her give me a minute to change because I don’t want to freeze wearing shorts in the theater. I walked out wearing legging and said let’s go. No one batted an eye at what I was wearing.
