Adrift in Yoga: Man Leggings?

Half-way through yoga class yesterday, I got to thinking (uh oh, this is sounding a little too Sex & The City) as I looked around the room at all the ladies wearing leggings, doing their lunges. The token male, yet again, I wondered, what if a man wore leggings? Could a man wear leggings? Part of me feels that if you aren't a cyclist, a circus performer or a ballet dancer, you really shouldn't. And also if you aren't a model in some sort of French haute couture fashion show. But then again, who cares? I'm sure spandex-y shorts/leggings are good for flexibility and a man should just wear 'em if he wants to -- perhaps not full on leggings but some sort of shorter short, albeit not short shorts. But then again, everything works on the right person.

Stefan--you can wear leggings. When I go to yoga I always wear spandex of some sort, mostly for the freedom of movement it offers but also the fact that it stays in place on your body. I'm a guy and I've done that for years now. But then again, I swim in Speedos and cycle in spandex shorts or full-length tights when it's cold. Go for it! You won't regret it....
