First the skinny Jeans, Yoga Pants, Crouch Gusset pants and now there are Meggings. Meggings are: Meggings are real, and they’re getting an increasing amount of attention because of celebrities like Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Lenny Kravitz. Proud “meggers” are all about them, though most shun meggings as an affront to masculinity. But could you pull them off? Celebrity stylist Ken Thompson shared his tips for pulling off meggings with The Australian. Men in meggings aren’t expected to travel “below the latte belt,” and he warns that early adopters of meggings need to take them seriously. “If you have to wear meggings, go formal on top with a crisp white shirt that is long enough at the front to avoid stares and make sure that you’ve had a decent calf workout,” Thompson told The Australian. There you go, folks. The rest is up to you. And it looks like meggings are here to stay, by the way. “Meggings are not a gimmick because the guys who wear meggings aren’t doing it ironically—they genuinely believe it’s a good look,” GQ senior editor Will Welch told Yahoo!. “So it’s a real trend.” http://www.businessinsider.com/what-shirt-to-wear-with-meggings-2012-12#ixzz2HJYhfyTI

These pretty much sum up my reaction to meggings.

Thank you for the post and that is really funny
I would rather be caught wearing plaid shorts … neva, neva, neva gonna happen !!!
As your wife there will be no meggings and no plaid shorts!!!
Do you think anyone would be crazy enough to wear these in Gloucester–say down on the dock for instance?
Hi Kim, Thanks for the post and it was great to see you today. Maybe this is what we should buy the boss
Yes, great idea Donna! I can see that WordPress is going through growing pains, as the Reply button under your comment to Kim said Replyly. Facebook is also in continual change. Guess you just have to go with it, and it always settles down.
Thanks Fred, it has settled down, sometimes when a new product comes out you have to go with the flow and eventually the bugs work themselves out, it seems on very busy days, like New Years’ Day it was very weird. I have figured ways around it and take it as it comes. Hope to see you soon..
A Cold Pint At Stones That McElhenny is the first around town donning these bad boys.
Thanks for the post.. how funny would this be if all you guys did a fashion show of meggings including my Ricky
Donna and Ladies– we simply have to organize this as a fund raiser–Gloucester Guys in GMG Meggings. Think of all the folks who would pay money to see these tough manscaping, lobstering, video camera wielding, PR-making, Greasy Pole-walking, and of course hubbies too, in meggings!!!!
Kim, What a great idea, now we have to figure out how to convince the men in our life. We could do it for the Open Door.
I’m fairly certain that’s the first time anyone has ever implied that video-camera-wielding (our boy Craig) and PR-making are tough professions. It’s true, sometimes I do jam a finger on my keyboard writing a press release. Thanks, Kim.
What a fun post, Donna.
Thanks John and you will be a hit in those meggings
This is the first thing I thought when I saw this post. Sorry, John : (
Thanks for the post
I will have my camera ready
You say that like I haven’t been wearing them for eight months. Get wid it. Meggings are the new thing. Especially for someone like Joey who spends an hour each day manscaping his junk.
that is another vision for me
i’m not gonna lie..i think the right body in the right meggings can be hot…all these guys (except for the weirdo flagging the taxi) look pretty, pretty, pretty good to me.
http://lookglambox.com/real-men-dont-wear-meggings-or-do-they/
You never know who will be walking down Main Street…
Dear God…. Meggings ? Really ? Joey in Meggings , Ed in Meggings….. Rick, Fred, John…I think not! Love them all… but I love having my eyesight more… <3
Hi Felicia: very funny and you are right, too much may show. Great to see you yesterday and Happy Birthday
Do raggity old sweat pants count as meggings???
If so, I qualify as a hipster….. at least around the house…. wouldn’t dream of going out in public that way….
But, if the Jehova’s come knocking at my door, all bets are off.
Thanks for the vision and the post
If I could get those with the GMG logo all over them, boom, I’m in.
Look forward to seeing you in them
Ok…Im just putting this out there…I’m the official cheif of horribles float and just to let you all know I will be banning all Meggings this year!
What’s wrong with madras shorts?
I saw Eric Clapton wearing them at an outdoor concert in Chicago.
He is one of the coolest people around.
Remember bleeding madras clothes?
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button!
I’d definitely donate to this superb blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed
to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will share
this site with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
Thanks for your post
