    It's not uncommon.

    They exist, which means they make money, which means enough people buy them to be profitable, so they can't be that weird.

    I don't think it's weird at all. I see men running in them all the time... and I *love* mine. Super comfy, and they make them for all weather, so they keep me warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. :)

    My husband wears them every run.

    Or big bum pants as we call them when we cycle. Why would it be weird?

    Unless @TavistockToad is right and your wearing them to the pub or someones wedding :D

    I heard wearing them everyday, everywhere, makes you lose weight no matter what you eat? Haven't taken mine off in months.

    Yeah, I resisted buying a pair but for running in cool weather, nothing beats them. Course I'm wearing them and sweats these days, but I'm getting tired of winter.

    I mean are you one of those guys who wears them to purposely show off his junk/display this false image of himself as being crazy awesome in the gym? I’ve found the only guys who tend to wear them are ego lifters and those who oddly enough don’t work legs. It’s completely alright to wear them as long as you’re wearing them for comfort and not some other reason.

    I mean I wear pink tank tops to the gym so....

    Not alone. I wear them when it’s cold out. And I also powerlift with them occasionally.

    It's all in the context and how you accessorize them.

    If you're wearing running leggings to the grocery store with a wig and pink 4" stiletto pumps, that could possibly be considered a bit out of the ordinary in many places.

    If you're wearing running leggings with your workout gear while out running/cycling on a cold morning, it's probably not too unusual.

    Nothing wrong with wearing them! I've heard a few guys who quite like to wear them during runs because it keeps them warm and they're quite comfy
