It is not wrong for men to wear tights today as long as he wears them in specific contexts. The contexts are usually sports, dance costumes, or under his clothes, In these situations its usually acceptable for men to wear tights.

In other social situations its usually viewed as inappropriate for men to wear tights. This is because trousers became the new social norm for men to wear and has remained so for a few centuries now. Its also due to the fact that women are currently viewed as the ones who wear tights in society. This is a carry over from the late 1950s. Pantyhose were created for women to wear with dresses. Tights were also used with mini dresses during the 1960s. Since that time tights have been viewed primarily as a female garment and the trend continues today. Leggings or yoga pants are a thicker form of tights and can be worn by both men and women. But the predominant social view is that men wear them in specific contexts. Women may wear them as regular fashion. Right now that includes wearing them in place of pants.

As a fashion, tights have evolved over time. Men did wear them as their regular fashion in the past. But in fashion history, tights are primarily worn by women and women are in the tights as pants phase. Men also went through a tights as pants phase when tights were referred to as hose.
