Owen Crocker summaries male leggings as either being tight trousers, tights (trousers with integral feet) or suspended stockings (hose) [OWEN-CROCKER 2004:p.255]. It appears that wearing hose, usually worn with a pair of shorts known as 'Brais' originated as a mediterranean fashion. In the Germanic north trousers seem to have been the norm.[citation needed]
