Just-For-Fun Friday: Jeggings

Filed In Blog by claudia | Comments: 10 | Views: 1896

The rise of the harem and all pants wide-legged, seemed positioned to eventually phase out skinny jeans and leggings. Or so we thought, but the tighties are definitely staying put. In fact, they've come back with a vengeance and reinvented - from latex and printed, to shredded and studded! But the one that seems to be catching on fast is the recent merging of leggings and skinny jeans that are aptly named the 'jeggings'. So for Just Fun Friday this time around, I'd like to know if you think whether jeggings are a fashion "do or don't".

As mentioned earlier, jeggings are a jean-legging hybrid knit from cotton, polyester and spandex. They're basically the holy grail of skinny pants by keeping your silhouette skin-tight without constricting movement or cutting off the circulation in your legs.

If you feel a tad uneasy about whether or not they'll compliment your body shape, fear not, because like leggings and skinnies, they've become made in various forms and sizes to fit all. What I've always been concerned about is how some people have the confidence to carry off wearing tights like jeans without a long shirt over it? I mean really, I could never tuck my shirt into leggings like Sienna Miller over here! Camel-toe alert anyone?

Here are some other celebs rocking the jeggings:

Paris Hilton, Taylor Swift

Kate Bosworth

Ciara, Whitney Port, Angela Simmons

Some say jeggings can make you look frumpy while the others reckon they're the comfiest skinnies. What say you?

I will definitely go for jeggings ! In fact, I bought a pair of it last week ! It fits so much better than the ordinary skinny jeans yet comfy for everyday wear. And only costs me HK45 (about RM20) !

Gotta say I love the idea of jeggings, and I've been trying to get myself a pair for a while now. However, I agree that, like jeans, it all depends on the 'cut', colour and shape of the jeggings, as well as what you wear over it. But I hope they're here to stay!

but please cover ur crotch with a long enough top when ur wearing jeggings. Jeggings are still leggings so, yeah, they are not pants.

I got a pair earlier this year from Aldo London. My favourite pair so far and it's wayyy better than skinny jeans since it really follows the curve of your butt and legs nicely plus, it's comfortable :)

Absolutely. I'm seeing them a lot in London, and will probably get a pair. Last winter and early spring, I kept thinking 'no, people aren't going to fall for the harem pants thing' - even ranted a few times about it ( http://streetstylelondon.blogspot.com/2009/05/harem-rants-revisited.html ) and today I just happened to post a variation that looks good - but still, overall, most girls want to show off their legs, and jeggings is just the ticket. And, comfortable. It's just such an unfortunately idiotic name. If you combine 'leggings' with 'jeans', for goodness sake, why can't we call them 'leans'?

I've seen some people bagging on jeggins but I am in love with them. I own about 5 different pairs and where them just about everywhere.
