Whether in the gym, during a sports competition, on your running route or even exposed on social networks, leggings have become an essential accessory to perform and reveal their look. But beware, although many think it is reserved for women, it is not! Although men are not at the stage of wearing them every day in the same way as women, they can use them in a sporty, active environment and wear shorts over them for a more dynamic and discreet rendering.
LEGGING, MEN?
It must be admitted that in terms of supply, the choice of sportswear for men is relatively limited compared to women, especially if you linger on the lower body: shorts, pants or tights. Nothing more ! However, beyond compression garments and other thigh boots, after their success in women, men's leggings are becoming more and more popular.
Please note, leggings are not to be confused with compression garments. They simply adapt to the fashion of the moment, offer good support according to size as well as the preservation of a good muscle temperature without the effects on the recovery of compression (which explains a cost often less).

However, how can a man wear tights and not see people snickering or being uncomfortable? In fact, most men's clothing is just “plug & play”. We do not have to think about their agreement (except maybe the choice of colors!) Or the cut.
With leggings, most men experience the burden of making sure that nothing inappropriate is presented. Indeed, as for women, some leggings have a thin fabric and transmit too much detail, some colors show too much, others have seams in the wrong place and many choose sizes that are far too tight.
So, even camouflaging them under shorts, you will have to prefer functional and comfortable leggings rather than style. Puma meets this need with running tights that have enough crotch and / or compression.
Discover for example, this unique style running tights with dryCELL technology. It allows you to be dry while preserving maximum comfort and to move in all flexibility. Thanks to its flat seams, painful areas of friction are a thing of the past and the reflective elements make you visible in the dark. Finally, a small bonus, you will find an invisible zipped pocket on the back. Ideal for carrying your laptop or keys.
Is it pretty hot when you're training? Bring freshness to your sessions with the PUMA Speed tights, which also feature breathable dryCELL technology. The circulation of air is improved in the hottest parts of the body, a preformed knee part allows more flexibility and thanks to the flat seams, it avoids areas of friction.
Finally, for those who do not want to wear their leggings without fault of styles, here are two little tips:
- Choose a tank top or t-shirt to wear over the tights, which covers both the crotch and behind. Add dark color, a long shirt and voila! The ideal style for training.
- Men can wear tights (rather during training) without shorts on the top as long as the tights are well reinforced in the crotch.

Men are more sensitive to the overexposure of certain parts and thus prefer to superimpose the layers. But no doubt that, like the women who proudly put on tights in the gym as well as in everyday life…. men will soon enjoy the same freedom!
