I love shops like Lululemon, Sweaty Betty, Elle Sport and am a self confessed gym gear junkie, and I think my obsession is rubbing off on my other half as he wants some more interesting running tights.
Most men's gear seems to be black with a bit of hiviz but that's about it
I've Googled but can't find much online so does anyone know of a brand that makes men's running tights in cool designs, or that have a bit more detail/flair going on than your traditional black tight???
Thanks in advance
Chloe

I think men tend to be a bit more conservative about their kit.
That said - I reckon these are what you want..

hahahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahhaah
I'm not sure he would dare leave the house to go for a run in those!
Yes I have seen the price of Lululemon, I bought some and after 7 months they fell apart!!! Waiting for my refund, doesn't stop me lusting after still them though
But, try
http://www.decathlon.co.uk/kanergy-trail-3-4-tights-black-id_8352190.html and then wear a pair of their racy orange shorts over the top?
My wife has threatened to divorce me if I was to get a pair.
These are fantastic.....
You could probably have phrased that better.
Once again I find myself agreeing with Millsy. Wear all the gaudy patterns you want on top, but below the waist clothing should be black, shoes should be red. Coloured socks if you really want to put it out there.
@Cougie I've been following Lorna Jane on Instagram, love the look of the gear. Glad it is good quality never sure with new brands etc
@senidM Those are fab, I wish they did them in full length though, I know the OH will want long ones but will point him in the direction of that site.
@Millsey @CheerfulDave you purists!
He wants something that is just a bit more designed than plain black tubes you know? Those Kanergy ones would have been perfect if they were full length.
I think he's looking for tights that are dark colours predominantly but have nice details on them and maybe a mix of fabrics, and some stylish seam placement and pockets. I can only assume the OH is very proud of his pins and want to show them off hahah.
@cougie Oh yeah you have to be young, cool, and tech savvy to get on 'the gram'. No sure how I got a login
I do remember seeing a bloke running in some very short camouflage shorts at parkrun once. AT first I thought it was just oddly shaped woman until I was passing him.
why doenst he just try on a few pairs of womens tights.......they usually have no set shape or size.as proven by the number that women have to try out before finding one that fits comfortably
For sale: I PB'ed in these pants.
looks like it cuts off circulation looking at the colour of the foot
There's only one thing I can see there that's at least a foot.
www.runningfunky.com have some non-black options
I did think that maybe he could just buy some of the more toned down women's tights because they are essentially all just lycra right? So they just stretch to fit....I'm not sure if he would go for that though.....might be a bit too like cross dressing for his liking
@FerrousFerret @Plazzy if he went out in those wouldn't people this he was a Rod Stewart impersonator?

Avoid red as a colour:
good god!!!
..and that, best beloved, is why black is so popular for men's tights and shorts. The surface normal deviation is sharp and dramatic when you're covering cock and balls, deflecting photons with nary a care in the world.
Black, you can just about get away with, most of the time.
Another reason for black is, erm, perspiration. Anything else and it looks like you've got continence issues.
My missus tells me that Wiggins during the podium presentations at the 2012 TDF has this lot well beat in the dingle dangle department.
🙂
Arghhh. I'll never be able to un-see that FeFe.
I'll take number 4 please! The one in the red helmet
This sort of clobber should be actively encouraged.
Reminder:
Boris Johnson cycles.
Sometimes sticking with red would have been a better option.
