megging

Meggings, also known as men's leggings or guygings, are form-fitting trousers designed for men. They are typically made from stretchy materials like spandex, nylon, or polyester blends, offering a high degree of flexibility and comfort. Historically, similar garments have been worn by men for centuries, often as part of athletic attire or as a base layer.

In contemporary fashion, meggings have gained popularity as both activewear and streetwear. As activewear, they are favored by athletes for activities such as running, cycling, and yoga due to their moisture-wicking properties and freedom of movement. In casual settings, meggings are often paired with longer tops, shirts, or shorts to create a fashionable silhouette.

The acceptance and styling of meggings vary across different cultures and fashion subcultures. They can be found in a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes, from plain black to vibrant prints. While some perceive them as a modern fashion statement, others view them as more utilitarian. Their design emphasizes a snug fit, similar to women's leggings, but often with a cut or fabric composition intended for male anatomy. The term "meggings" itself is a portmanteau of "men" and "leggings."
