A survey has found that men hate girls' fashion favourites - Ugg boots, jumpsuits and leggings.

"Leggings feel good and look great and I am as addicted to them as anyone, but there is a downside," the Daily Mail quoted physiotherapist Sammy Margo as saying.

"They hold in and support the quadriceps (thigh muscles), buttocks and core muscles in your tummy, and do the job the muscles are supposed to do.

"As a result, the muscles are allowed to relax and switch off, so when we reveal our bodies for the first time as summer approaches, they are not as svelte or firm as they otherwise would be."
