Jeggings: The Way Of the Future

Slowly but surely, fashion vernacular is taking over the modern English language. For a while, everyone and their grandmother were overusing “fierce”. “LBD” or “Little Black Dress” has recently been included in the Oxford English Dictionary, and now a new word is dominating the vocabularies of both the fashion-conscious and the common-folk alike. The word? Jegging.

A hybrid between “jean” and “legging”, jeggings are the ultimate skinny jean with the lightest and most pliable denim, allowing the wearer to achieve the fit and comfort of wearing leggings, while getting the more tailored look of wearing denim.

Jeggings have definitely become the most-desired and talked about item for the fall season. While the word itself might feel silly to say, or might make you cringe to hear it, the item itself is what everyone is wearing.

The problem with leggings? They can look too casual and inconsequential when compared to actual pants. The problem with denim? Finding jeans that are comfortable and still look good can be quite the challenge. Jeggings, like those by brands like William Rast, J Brand and Rock Revival provide a solution to all of these problems with a single, silly-sounding item.

The beauty of jeggings? You can’t find tighter fitting denim anywhere. Offset the tight , form-fitting and tailored look of the jeggings with a loose, slouchy and oversized T-Shirt or Tank by Sunday Rocks to achieve a casual-sexy look.

    Jeggings are half jeans and half leggings. This doesn’t mean literally half in half but the fabric is stretchy like leggings but the look is typically an indigo jean look. The look has been fondly embraced by the likes of Beyonce, Mischa Barton and Pixie Geldof. People who are not so aware of the fashion writers’ reinvented words are just calling these denim leggings, which is a lot more obvious as to what you could expect from them. But for those of who you want to feel you know the fashion lingo, jeggings are the most trendy description for the jeans leggings combo. In the same way as you may have known about “shants” and “shresses”, which for the less fashionable amongst us are sheer pants and sheer dresses.

    Actually, I love wearing skinny jeans. I don’t know but I rather choose this one than the ordinary pants.
