It’s hard to be a fashion forward guy in college. Even at NYU, which is in the fashion capital of the U.S., finding the right style before it becomes a tired fad can be hard. It takes a good eye and good taste. Well now clothing connoisseurs can check out a fashion statement making waves across the globe… the mantyhose.
 

Seinfeld popularized mixing men’s clothing with female apparel back when the show introduced the Bro, the male bra. With breast support conquered, men can now delve into the world of pantyhose. It can provide a way to dress differently, a way to stay warm and even a medically beneficial way to improve circulation.

Male pantyhose is not a new concept, though. In 1999, G. Lieberman & Sons began to manufacture a pantyhose line geared towards men called Comfilon, and then, in 2002, a German company jumped into the market with WoMan, a unisex product line. Since then, other products and lines have continued to emerge.
 

Of course, you’re skeptical. Who would wear such a thing? How does one wear such a thing? Wouldn’t such a thing hurt your, um, thing? To answer all these questions and more, visit the Project e-MANcipate website, a site founded in 2003 simply to speed up the acceptance of male pantyhose and to address any and all concerns.
 

I wish I was kidding, but I am not.
