I have a pair of longjohns that I would really love to wear as pants. They make my butt look fabulous, and why should women be the only ones who get to go out with fabric hugging their ass to show it off? This pair is insanely comfortable, and it has a striped pattern I think I could get away with if not for the front, which has stitching that makes it look like underwear (weird, cause there is not actually an opening but it looks like there should be). I think I could rock the look with a long dress shirt but I'm not confident. If it were solid in front I would feel a bit better even though with the light material a bulge is clearly seen. I'll think on it. 

 Also I wish I knew were I got these. There's a star logo on them but no branding. I'd like to get another pair or look at that brand's other offerings. EDIT: Actually it's these. So comfy! But look like underwear: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32841118640.html

Googled “meggings” and found this wonderful story! 

Speaking of self confidence. I admire men who dare, who don’t take themselves too seriously. 

Generally when I wear tights outside of the gym or running track, when shopping for instance, I make sure I look like I’m going to or coming from the gym. But I’m working on it. 

Would like to find a style that suits me, where leggings are involved. And the confidence to try it!

And here is the link...

Rapidblue glad some males like to wear leggings and don't feel subconsious about people staring at your body more closely. Only seen one male wear leggings in the gym besides me he looked like he cared less what people thought. Yes he did notice me as well said nothing but feeling not being only male wearing them is supportive for the psyche.

Male leggings may offend some people, while others have given me compliments on the leggings i wear in the gym. I don't care what people say and feel confident wearing them.

Do find some woman at the gym notice if my bulge is not set as perusuall, shaft pointing six-o'clock position. Seen woman look upon my bulge more so, not because of some perverse reason. Only when my shaft is pointed at another direction say eight o'clock or four o'clock they may look if i'm getting fully excited. 

Had experience in the gym having female friend sending me sexy pictures of herself. It got me little excited as i was stretching on the floor beside other gym members. Quickly female noticed me and moved away before i ever thought my bulge was getting noticeably bigger. Told my female friend not to send naughty photos of her when i'm in the gym wearing short shorts or leggings. Describing how a woman looked upon me with sour reaction moving away as though i was getting aroused intentionally for her. 

Sometimes in the gym i need to use towel to cover up because more so then when i'm in my normal mode woman stare at the bulge if it's moved out of place.

For the gym or running, I prefer footed ballet tights.  The new microfiber materials are both form-fitting and opaque.    Right now I'm wearing https://www.sodanca.com/d494-357.html    
Very comfortable.

Sailor250 amount of time i spend in the gym i see that as well. Yes, i stare often noticing or intrigued at what women are wearing under their leggings. Most of the time it's g-string i see. which is nice to notice regardless of their booty shape.

Sometimes i want to be helpful to woman i see about there form when squatting. I just watch when taking a break seen just the other day female being taught by her husband how to squat properly. She was next to me while i sat on some gym equipment resting. I noticed she had no thong on at all but her black leggings do get transparent when she was moving to the sitting position downwards. I could tell she was noticing my turned head and stares as the husband but none said anything. If they did respond to me, i would talk about her form of doing the exercise rather the topic of sheerness of her leggings.

Have a honest female friend at the gym who tells me she observes and enjoys the fact that other woman often stare at the back of my leggings when i squat or bend over. I know that when squating you they are a little transparent. I think they might notice my thong outline. 

LycraFool my post censored. Sorry.

Wearing leggings in public as a fashion statement is wonderful. I’ve been doing that very thing for several years.
I find is many men will comment on my style, saying "Looking good". Some women will openly stare and smile big wide smiles, looking down then up to my eyes,  or stop me to talk and tell me their appreciation.
I’ve walked around many downtowns in various states and had the same reaction.
Maybe it’s because I dare to wear color, not plain black, or it’s because I’m always smiling when dressed that way. Happy confidence goes a long way. I’ve had several men tell me that they wish they had the confidence. I simply tell them all it takes is doing it.

I think footed tights, whether nylon or microfiber, are most comfortable.  They are the most form-fitting and are just lovely with a cropped t-shirt or sweatshirt.  My favorite are HUE black out opaque.   I wear them all around town.   https://www.amazon.com/HUE-Womens-Blackout-Tights-Black/dp/B00KNO7TZM/ref=sr_1_4

iSwim offers four styles of tight, which you can see here, differing in the pouch style. They all have a center rear seam, and I find they give excellent butt definition. I have all except for the "Unisex", which is a seamless flat front. The "Nudist" and "Swing" bulge pouches are probably not "Everyday". The Fitted Pouch is less form-fitting, but still has plenty of room up front.

When you click on the Color selection menu, if ytou click on an entry other than the default, you get a pop-up where you can page through the different fabrics, showing the stretch and thickness for each. As these are in Asian sizing, you want one with good stretch.I've had good results with ones over the middle of the stretch spectrum; those in the red and orange zones much less so,

The one thing I do not care for about then is the length only goes to mid-calf.This is fine as active wear, but for wearing out-and-about, I prefer ones that reach the ankles.

I have the Pinnacle silky smooth sport tight from koalaswim and can confirm the backside has nice cheekage. The fabric is matte black. 

I began wearing tights in the early 1980's when I purchased a road bicycle. I purchased bicycle shorts to wear while cycling in the warmer weather and tights/leggings to wear on cooler days. Back then, I would keep them on after my bike rides. Eventually I began wearing them around the house more often and even while shopping, etc. Though wearing them has become very popular with women of all ages, I see very few men wearing them except for exercising. In now have eight pair of tights and an an equal number of spandex shorts. I usually wear a thong underneath, but often, as today, I go commando. Once I post this, I will be going out to do my exercise walk.
