MegaStyles™: The Week in Fashion (05.09.03)

Remember when Madonna first got into yoga?  The long flowing hair, the soft serene makeup, the sun/moon/stars caftans doubling as movie premiere attire.  Fitness hadn’t seemed this fashionable since Flashdance.  Athletic apparel makers quickly followed with fashion-forward yoga lines, and today yoga clothes seem better suited to a leisurely day of shopping rather than a good sweat.  However, while female yoga devotees have plenty of options for workout gear, men have generally been left to their own devices, often with perilous results.  This week, MegaStyles™ takes a brave look at current male yoga fashion and urges you to stretch with caution.

Top 10 Rules of Male Yoga Fashion

1. The Speedo = fountain of youth.  A must-have for all over 40.
2. Cotton underwear is a perfectly acceptable option should you forget your swim trunks.
3. Deodorant is for Tai Chi wusses.
4. Ponytails: Madonna was onto something—long hair just feels right.
5. Bare-chested or muscle tank.  There is no third option.
6. No one will notice transparent-when-wet shorts.
7. A true yogi looks naked without several large turtle tattoos.
8. Excess chest hair accelerates the mind-body connection.
9. Instant figure fixer: the spandex unitard.
10. Nothing compliments a Buddha-belly like a loincloth.
