I don’t know about you, but when I think hosiery, I think style. I think class. I think tiny pieces of cheese and glasses of wine that make your head spin to the horse like sounds of other people laughing at obscure Russian jokes.
Unless we’re talking about ripped fishnets, in which case I think of ways to recycle trampy clothing into a soap holder that will collect those little slivers of soap into one big ball of reused soapy weirdness. But I digress.
Many men are attracted to women’s pantyhose, an item of women’s lingerie not typically known by women for its glamor, (at least in my associations anyway, which are to do with school uniforms, dinner ladies, and okay, maybe the occasional pretty secretary). The grass is always greener on the other side though isn’t it? Especially when the other side is permitted to express themselves with sheer and svelte fabrics, pretty colors, and displays of general emotion with are forbidden for a man.
I’ve been rabbiting on about men who wear lingerie for a long time now, but aside from the great guys who make comments on these articles, we haven’t heard too much from the men who wear lingerie themselves. In this article, I’ve decided to change that by interviewing Eugene T.S Wong, a straight man and self admitted hosiery advocate who wears lingerie on the front lines, combining it with his everyday attire to create a look that is unique and all his own. That’s Eugene in the pictures, strutting his undeniably sexy self in a range of hosiery styles.
There are men who like to wear all sorts of lingerie – panties, bras, camisoles, the list goes on. But for many it is the stocking that holds the dearest place in their heart. There is something about sliding that smooth silk or nylon over their legs and being encased in delicate fabric that really speaks to their psyche.
Oh stockings. How we love thee. How we love thy fragile mesh which extends to cover our legs. How we love thy reinforced toes (which makes sense), and thy reinforced gusset (which doesn’t, unlike feet, which commonly have sharp toenails attached to the end of them, your average crotch comes with no sharp edges.)
One of my super readers recently shared a link to this site which sells ActiveSkin hosiery for men. I took some time to browse around it and it is an interesting site indeed. The premise is that hosiery is for men as much as it is for women, and the designers of activeskin are simply making men’s hosiery.
