What Are Meggings?
Short answer: meggings = men’s leggings. Long answer: they’re a spandex (Lycra) second skin for your lower half, made specifically for men with a myriad of styles, colours, and situations to wear them.
To better fit the male anatomy, meggings are generally lower-waisted than the female alternative, and often (but not always) have an extra patch of fabric at the front to accommodate the gentleman physique.
And just like the leggings from whence they came, meggings deliver a secure fit, breathable performance fabrics, and silhouettes that turn heads.

Where did the word come from?
It’s a simple mashup: men + leggings = meggings. The term popped in the early 2010s as men started rocking compression tights outside the gym and style zines caught on. As with most things on the male end of the spectrum, it would be intolerable to just call them leggings - they is what wimin wear! - to to appease the fagile and toxic male, 'meggings' came to pass.
See how the mainstream talked about it: GQ & Men's Health.
Why wear meggings?
Comfort: 4-way stretch, zero pinch, all glide.
Support: designed for the male form, not borrowed from women’s fits.
Dynamic: squats, scissor holds, shuffling, and sashaying - you move and they move with you.
Showy: "Yeah! These are my legs... and what? My eyes are up here!"
