Sales of tights specially designed for men have boomed in the UK.
Last week we reported on the launch of eyelash extensions for men and now it seems our blokes want to take over our tights too.
Believed to be sparked by the superhero trend- men are now buying more tights than ever before and manufacturers have even launched special 'man tights' for extra comfort.
Male tight lovers have praised their lycra friends for stopping chaffing when wearing shorts and helping keep their legs warm in the winter.
And its not just the girly guys that are donning tights- in the past macho men including cowboys and soldiers have been known to appreciate the benefits of good hoisery.
Keep your eyes on your underwear drawers girls!
