1. Why Wear Men's Fashion Leggings?
You were born to express yourself. Sure, you could dress plain and safe and boring, but where’s the fun in that? What you wear is an extension of your individuality. When you dress without fear, you think and act without fear. When you reject the ordinary, you become extraordinary.
This is how guys all over the world wear meggings to supercharge their street style.

2. Inject A Little Street Style Into Your Look
Ah, the streets. The eternal fashion show, where those who dare to be different define the style of the times. Slip on a sweet-ass pair of men’s fashion leggings and wear ‘em with confidence. With killer style like this, you’re liable to turn heads and cause a five car pile-up.
Mix up crazy colors up top with jet black leggings and a pair of Converse. Or throw on a comfy tee on top of shiny gold leggings and a pair of classic Adidas trainers. Hats, trainers, oversized shirts, sunglasses – accessories work really well. When it comes to true style, ain’t no rules. Never have been, never will be.

5. Dress 'Em Down With A Relaxed Look
Showcase your vagabond soul with rips and tears, bohemian accessories, a nice pair of leggings and a nomad spirit.
Think denim, leather, hats, torn and frayed t-shirts, a loose neck-tie and a pair of old-school Converse. Then, blaze a beautiful bedraggled trail, my freewheelin’ friend.

6. Lounging Leggings For Around The House
Being a comfy-ass king lounging in his castle doesn’t mean skimping on style. Just because the world ain’t watching, doesn’t mean you have to be boring.
Ditch those dirty ol’ sweatpants and indulge in some pure comfort with the second-skin satisfaction and supreme flair that any self-respecting lounge lizard demands.

7. Wear Meggings Like Fashion Models Do
Fashion models and bloggers know how to wear men’s fashion leggings. They build an outfit that showcases their personality, with details, accessories, layers, contrasts and, above all, confidence.
Think, act and dress like a pro, and tell the world who you are without saying a word.

8. Do A Little Mono Color Blocking
When it comes to balls-out confidence, go for gold. Or red, or blue, or pink – whatever floats your boat. Dress in one color from head-to-toe, or do some subtle color blocking and strut about the streets like you own ‘em.
Ain’t nothing like a blaze of mono-colored cool-as-hell confidence to catch eyes and turn heads.

9. Layer Bright Meggings Under Ripped Jeans or Shorts
Ripped jeans have been cool for many a year. From the ‘70s New York street punk style of the Ramones right up to the here-and-now, getting all trashed up in ripped jeans has a certain “don’t give a flying f@%k what you think” charm.
Throw a pair of off-the-wall leggings underneath and you’ve got a true rebel combo that kicks conformity square in the plums, before strolling off into the sunset.

10. High Waist Versus Low Waist
Should you wear your meggs high or low? Well, there ain’t no right or wrong answer. Whatever tickles your pickle, amigo.
If you like that ultra-comfy snugness and gut-hugging fit of high-waisted leggings, pair them with a plain white tee and a long, elegant jacket or blazer with shoes or classy sneakers. If you prefer a bit of midriff freedom, low-riders will go with anything.
11. When All Else Fails, Go For All Black Urrthang
There’s a reason Wesley Snipes said: “Always bet on black.” It’s the easiest way to level up your fashion game.
