Mantyhose: Tights for men and women

Pantyhose are an accessory women have been wearing for years. Now it's crossing gender lines. Brosiery is a growing trending in the United Kingdom. 

An Italian designer Emilio Cavallini designed a range of unisex tights, which sell for $27 a piece.

The designer, based in Florence, believes the hosiery appeals to men's tastes. For some it's considered a fashion statement, while others simply want to add a layer for warmth.

The company tested the mantyhose on it's male employees. The research led to a breathable fabric because men tend to sweat more than women.

His and hers designs come in stars, stripes, spots, skull patterns, black, white and checked styles.
