One of my co-workers singled me out when I returned from a run to the bunkhouse and was met by a few of the fellas that were standing outside enjoying the day. In good fun the one guy said “hey I like your budgie smugglers” which caused everyone to laugh, including myself. I know this is a reference to men that wear speedos sometimes and I thought the joke was clever. I don’t remember what I said back but I stood and visited a while, and owned the situation by not letting my insecurities show. One last fear is running into people from work while I’m out and about. This is subsiding as my gf and I were at the hardware store the other day and just about back at the car when we came upon a retired co-worker who wanted to chat for a bit. I was standing in my leggings chatting with him for about 10 mins. He is the type of fellow that does not have any problem giving someone a hard time if they are doing something he doesnt agree with. He never mentioned it. Not at all, and he is an observant person. That encounter alone made me 100% more confident wearing what I like as I felt if its ok with **** then its ok with almost anyone.
I’ve found by acting confident and trying to diffuse any criticism with humour has helped anytime I’ve felt insecure. As has been mentioned most of my concerns are in my own head. Most of the time people don’t even notice what I’m wearing, I check eye movements often. The modern world is getting more tolerant of men in leggings for sure, especially in exercise situations.but even in everyday situations too. That’s not about fear, but I am conscious that there are some places and/or moments when it is not appropriate, and a less casual dress code is required.
I used to share very much the main fear that is noted in the other comments, someone may point and laugh or single me out for being the dude with the “girl pants” on. I have been wearing leggings fairly regularly for over 3 years now. There was a couple instances where I was laughed at, and singled out by a co-worker. Luckily I havent been singled out by strangers and am becoming more confident all the time. Whrn my fears have been realized I have not imploded, ran away in shame or felt that I was doing anything wrong. One time we were walking thru a parking lot to the movie theater and some teenagers were sitting in a car. When they saw me walking with my group they were laughing and pointing, but honestly I didnt care. My gf’s daughter was with us and she would be the first person to call me out for wearing something she thought of as stupid, and she didnt care. That alone gave me the confidence to just walk by and own it. Side note, leggings while at the theater watching a long movie is the most comfortable way to enjoy the experience.
