Mantyhose?

Hose for Bros? Guylons? Move over Joe Joe Namath, Italian fashion house Emilio Cavallini has found that European men are ready and eager to don pantyhose. Will American dudes follow suit? "If you thought men in tights was a sartorial statement best left to medieval jesters, think again," says Daisy Dumas in Britain's Daily Mail. Upscale Florentine hosiery purveyor Emilio Cavallini is at the forefront of what it sees as fashion's next big thing: Male pantyhose, or "mantyhose." The "hose for bros" fad has caught on in Europe, the fashion house tells Women's Wear Daily (WWD), and is primed to make a big leap across the pond.

They have made them in "Manly" patterens like skulls, checks, stars, and horizontal stripes (as well as various plain colors). And the fabric is different, too, with "greater elasticity and stretch as well as breathability, which is important since men perspire much more than women do.

I think the laughter from the news crew says it all.
