So, men’s dance tights. Before I go any farther you are probably thinking, “Why do you need dance tights?” and to that I say,” You know cause they uh . . . make you jump harder and runner higher. . . mind your own business.” As a rule of thumb males are not large fans of clothing that is very tight around the crotchle region. Also, unless you are in a hair metal band you really have no excuse to be wearing something tight enough to show off that region. Not only are men’s tights generally uncomfortable to the public’s eye but they also seem like they would be uncomfortable to wear. This is where I was wrong, after extensive time in dance tights, turns out they are pretty wonderful. The feeling resembles a very weak hug around all of your waist and legs. Ask any male about wearing tights after about an hour and I am sure the response will be, “This is right.” A roommate of mine has been caught saying that he “feels like superman at times” whilst wearing a pair. It turns out that dance tights are quite comfortable; don’t get me wrong it is still traumatizing if you catch a glimpse in the wrong light. My point is my first impression was wrong.
After having spent several years touring the country with the New York City ballet, I can only agree with your conclusion. Tights are quite wonderful, sometimes even in the right light. ;)
