Jeggings – Crazy or Cool?

August 17, 2010

It seems the fashion gods have heard Singapore’s prayers: denim, minus the weight! I’m not gonna lie… I’m all over this. I never wear jeans in daylight here because Singapore is so freaking hot and humid, so I’m SO excited by the thought of this. I’m no fashionista, but I’ve been seeing denim coming back in fashion and thank God, because I love denim! I’ve forever been in love with skinny jeans and believe that wearing jeggings is about as skinny as you can get….

I’m going to town ASAP to try some on, though I have one great worry with leggings as pants: what if you sit down and it splits? Eek! Still, I’m totally loving jeggings, so this is a big COOL from me.

What do you think? Are jeggings crazy or cool?

Ah, awesome! Are they as comfortable as they look?! By the way, where did you get yours? I’m guessing the only place here is Topshop right now :’(

i got a pair at Coop in Switzerland, a pair at Topshop, a pair at this weird tourist shop in San Francisco, and a pair at Uniqlo :) and yes they are way comfortable

I think it all depends on how you wear them! It’s even better if you wear jeggings functionally (ie: hot weather!) opposed to just because it’s another trend. :) I recommend having a longer shirt/top on though, if the jeggings are particularly like tights or leggings. I’m not a fan of the no-pants-on look!

Renee August 17, 2010 at 10:11

Yeah, totally – I like it ’cause of its functions rather than it being a trend, but then again I’m glad it’s a trend because I wouldn’t have discovered it anyway else! I’m not a fan of the no pants look either and will def wear it with short dresses/long tops, like Sienna Miller above! (The girl on the right!) :D

Jeggings are massive over here in the UK .. i defiantly LOVE them, and i heard that bootleg jeggings might be hitting the catwalk too!

Renee August 17, 2010 at 10:12

Oh bootleg jeggings, I look forward to seeing how those turn out! Do you wear jeggings, Lois? The fashion in the UK arghhhh so awesome, I’m so jealous of all the fab stores you have! :)

I’m from the Uk as well Lois and they are every where aren’t they! I love them!

I love love love jeggings! It’s hard to wear when it’s hot out though since the sweat will make them stick to your skin (super uncomfy)!

Renee August 17, 2010 at 10:13

Oh dear, really? I thought it might be better than ordinary jeans in the heat! :( I’ll still try it out, though haha!

Hi Renee,
I bought a couple of pairs on shopbop.com –> http://www.shopbop.com/actions/viewSearchResultsAction.action?query=denim+leggings

i think its cool too! But i haven’t found my perfect pair yet! I went to Uniqlo and they have a wide range of jeggings but the crotch/rise area is a little high for my liking!

Where to get?

Oh I’ll have to check out Uniglo, I’ve never been there before… Um try Topshop I guess? They have everything :-P

Jeni August 17, 2010 at 14:07

I love these. I bought a few pairs last year to wear tucked into boots. Wearing them on their own is not flattering on me! And I bought ones that are more like lightweight jeans, rather than thick leggings, which also look horrible on me!

I’m also gonna look for the lightweight jeans type… thick leggings are a no no in this weather, haha!

From a man’s perspective… I am in love. I always thought a woman would look best in skinny jeans/leggings and stilettos and now I can live happily ever after knowing that in my youth, my dreams were for filled in the arts of fashion.

Renee I will meet you one day. and when that day comes… you’d be wearing leggings with stilettos :)

Great to hear men love the look, too! :D

Jeggings are amazing! Have you just heard of them, cause I have had my few pairs for awhile and I love them! They go with anything! So defo’ cooool! I would advise every girl to have a pair :)

Reply

Renee August 18, 2010 at 10:56

Yes, I have just heard of them… I’m very slow on the fashion news, haha! :( I am glad you are loving them, they really do seem to go with everything. I am going hunting around town this weekend, I hope I can find a great pair! :)

I do like the idea of jeggings when they are done well. Sadly here in Australia everyone seems to be wearing really tacky cheap ones that are not flattering at all!

Reply

Renee August 18, 2010 at 10:58

Oh dear, I can only imagine! :( Leggings are pretty hard to pull off, I think!

Jeggling is cool only if u have slim legs.

Reply

Renee August 18, 2010 at 10:57

I’d have to disagree, anyone can wear jeggings I think!

Savvy August 17, 2010 at 23:35

I love them!! I still can’t wear them because I live in Florida and it is still searing hot outside, but love the way they look.

Reply

Renee August 18, 2010 at 11:00

I love the way they look too! It’s hot here in Singapore too so I hope it wouldn’t be too unbearable…!

Dina August 18, 2010 at 01:39

I just bought two pairs and i love them! i have big thighs so i was apprehensive at first, but combining them with a long shirt actually gave my legs a nice long and thin look. The denim leggings are just stretchy jeans, so they’re super comfortable. Enjoy!

That’s great to hear, Dina. I too am planning to wear them with long tops, I wonder how else you can wear them?

I totally like those from Dorothy Perkins!

I don’t like jeans a lot because I have a heavy bottom, and jeans seldom fit my legs in and feels very tough. But I am not exactly fond of leggings because they feel like underwear or at best coloured stockings to me.

But jeggings have the strechability of leggings and style of jeans, so yes, like it!

no offence, but you do know there’s a word called ” skinny ” right?
skinny fits everything, that’s just one normal thing in the 2000s.

Hmmm…that picture of the model’s rear end (in the grey) above looks terrible. Any sort of pant should make your butt look good – not square and flat. Maybe that’s just a bad example?

One would definitely need to be extremely thin to look good in them. Any bulge at all will be emphasized in them.
