25 Things You Can't Do In Men's Leggings

25 Things You Can't Do In Men's Leggings

There aren’t that many things you can do in a slick pair of men’s leggings. I mean, it’s not like you can slap on a pair and go out to take on the world, is it? As far as pants go, they’re really quite limited. To prove it, here’s a list of 25 things you definitely can’t do in meggings.

1. SCUBA DIVING

Sure, it’s good enough for Aquaman, but he’s a bit of a loner. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stick to your nice, safe, boring black wetsuit like everybody else.

2. ROCK CLIMBING

Way too fun and dangerous for tights. What you want to wear are nice thick trousers that will make your legs itch and get you all sweaty. Boom! Now you’re ready to tackle El Capitan.

3. RIDE A MOTORBIKE & PICK UP CHICKS

Pfft! C’mon, you can’t do that in meggings. That’s denim territory. Always has been, always will be.

4. BASE JUMPING

No tights allowed. What you need is something aerodynamic, something comfortable and figure-hugging with great colors for doing somersaults when you’re five miles up. Like… uh ... nothing springs immediately to mind.

5. DOING YOGA IN A TREE

Oh, you didn’t know this was a thing? Believe us – it is. A bearskin loincloth is your best bet for this, although it won’t help with splinters.

6. DOUBLE YOGA

Anyone who can lift another human being using just their hands wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair of meggs.

7. TRIPLE YOGA

We’re not even sure this is real. That has to be photoshopped, right? Can people actually do this? We’re not even mad. That’s literally amazing.

 8. MEDITATING ON A MOUNTAIN TOP

This should probably be done naked.

9. SKIING

Nope. Leggings are way too colorful and eye-catching. Even the thicker performance styles that keep you insulated and streamlined. Stick to the bib-and-brace, which are especially good when you need to pee. All those straps and buckles. Good luck with that.

10. PLAYING TENNIS

The Wimbledon officials would have a fit. And then fine you 50% of your match fee but invite you back next year because you pulled a crowd.

11. FRONTING A ROCK’N’ROLL BAND

Take those leggings off and put on a pair of leather trousers this instant. Lenny Kravitz would turn in his grave. (Actually, Lenny might still be around. Although it wouldn’t kill him to put out a new album every now and then.)

12. POLE DANCING

Can you imagine how much upper, middle and lower body strength it takes to do this? Someone put a dollar in that man’s waistband, STAT.

13. SPARTAN RACING

Also known as Warrior Dash, Obstacle Run, etc. When the going gets tough, the tough need camo. Or khaki. Something that doesn’t draw attention to your heroics when you’re crushing the competition in one of the world’s hardest events.

14. BALLET

Actually, this one’s an exception. If you don’t wear meggings for ballet you’re a durned fool, they look great and fit like a damn glove.

15. PARKOUR

Just like “Ibiza”, nobody is quite sure how to pronounce this tricky urban sport, but it’s cool and underground and definitely no place for 4-way stretch and reflective speed stripes.

16. FLASH MOBBING

48 States passed a law stating prohibiting flash mobbers from wearing anything that isn’t a  Morph Suit™. We’re assuming there were bribes involved.

17. WAKE–BOARDING

What! Another watersport on this list? That can’t be a coincidence. Wonder how many more aquatic activities meggings aren’t suitable for.

18. MEXICAN WRESTLING

Lucha liiiiiibre! This is all about color, combat and epic costumes. Do you really think skin-tight gold metallic men’s leggings are appropriate? C’mon, man. Use your head.

19. DJing

To be honest, we don’t know what kind of pants a DJ wears. They’re always hidden behind the decks. They could be nude back there. How would you know?

20. HEADSTANDS

You need duds that won’t flop to your knees when you’re upside down. Skinny jeans would be perfect. Pair them with some black specs and a goatee and you’re all set.

21. HIKING

Nope. Nuh uh. You have to wear cargo shorts paired with either hiking boots or Chaco sandals. It’s a rule, and rules are there for everybody’s benefit. Don’t be a cowboy.

22. ORDERING COCKTAILS

Cocktails are for enjoying quietly, not for drawing attention to yourself. For shame.

23. PLAYING GUITAR WHILE RAPPELLING

What? You’ve never done this? Oh man, you haven’t lived! ….. fine, we’ve never done this either, but this man has and it’s awesome. Someone needs to make him the president of something immediately.

24. RUNNING A MARATHON

I don’t care if it’s -50 degrees outside, the only appropriate marathon attire is those teeny shorts made from crépe paper with the huge slits up the side.

25. RIDING A ZEBRA

I’ll be honest, we’re not sure how this one made the list. Maybe because it was too rad to leave off. Bonus points if there are two sweaty Dads inside the zebra.
