Fall 2010 Fashion Trend: Jeggings

August 23, 2010 by ArushiArushi on August 23, 2010

Jeggings

Tacky is now trendy.

Sienna wears them to the grocery store, Whitney Port wears them at Diane Von Furstenberg and Kate Bosworth wears them out with her boyfriend. Jeggings, much like their once-ugly-now-trendy footwear sister, clogs, have evolved from an item people who care about fashion used to scoff at to an item people who care about fashion MUST own.

For those of you who don’t know: Leggings+Jeans= Jeggings. Even Wikipedia seems to have acknowledged their presence. It’s one of this season’s hottest trends, one that has been embraced by celebrity and ordinary clientele alike.

There’s simply one golden rule when donning these slinkies: Always keep your backside covered. We don’t care if you look like Gisele from behind, wearing jeggings with a tucked in shirt is like wearing leggings with a tucked in shirt (now you get the picture). It is simply not a good look. However, you should check out other, non-denim, versions of the trend- including prints, military-inspired, and gray versions.

The Birth of the Jegging (Jeans +Legging)

Jean Leggings

We can argue over whether jean leggings are truly leggings or just REALLY skinny jeans, but….however you define them they’re a hot trend for spring (okay, you can call them jeggings if you wish, but we’re going to resist). We like them for both their retro 80s fabulousness and their potential to make our legs look a mile long. The good news is that the latest jean leggings come in a wide variety of washes so you can either go super trendy (light or acid wash, high waist) or super chic (mid to low rise, classic dark wash). Here, jean leggings we like for spring, all under $50.
