What are Jeggings?
Touted to be the biggest fashion invention of the twenty first century, jeggings are a hot favorite of celebrities and commoners alike. If you have not heard of them, girl, it's wake up time! Jeggings are all over the place! Pick up any celebrity magazine and you are sure to spot some of your favorite stars revealing their sexy selves in this latest fashion trend setter!
As the name suggests, jeggings are a combination of leggings and jeans! Yes, this is where they get their name from. They are made from the same material as leggings but fashioned to look like denim jeans! So, in a way, by wearing them, you are getting the comfort of leggings, at the same time, you are not compromising on the appearance, as they look as stylish and chic as denim jeans!
Women who are on the curvy side, though long to wear skinny jeans but avoid it as sometimes they can make a curvy woman look more curvy (read fat!). But now, with jeggings, curvy women no longer have to kill their desires of supporting body hugging lowers, as they snugly fit into the body and can make the curviest of woman look hot and happening!
Before moving on to tell you about the various looks that you can create with them, I would point out one drawback of wearing jeggings. Although they are very comfortable, yet they can make you feel very hot in summers as the material they are made of has more lycra and spandex than a normal jeans. So, avoid wearing them when the weather is very hot.
What to Wear with Jeggings
If you have decided to add this unique piece of women's clothing in your wardrobe, my first advice to you is to not go in for the designer labels initially. As jeggings have been around only for a few months, you never know whether this fashion trend will last long or not! So stick to buying one from a departmental store and that too in neutral colors such as black, blue or brown. There are different kinds of looks that you can create with a pair of jeggings by pairing it with different styles of tops, bags, footwear and fashion accessories.
To Look Cool...
If you want to sport a cool, casual look, wear it with a loose, long top. Wear a beaded necklace, a pair of flat sandals and carry a large cloth bag. You can wear this look while going to college or on your next trip to the market!
To Look Hot...
If you are blessed with a good figure, wear your jeggings with high-heeled silhouettes, a leather purse and a short, sleeveless top tucked in nicely. If you are on the heavier side, wear an empire style top as it will give out the illusion of a thin waist!
To Look Trendy...
If you want to go exactly by the summer fashion trends, pair up your jeggings with knee-boots. Wear a long body hugging t-shirt which goes down to your mid thighs. On top of this t-shirt, wear another short, full sleeves, loose top. This three layered look along with the knee-high boots will definitely make many heads turn in your direction!
To Look Sporty...
For those of you who want a casual, sporty look, pairing the jeggings with sneakers and a loose, long t-shirt or a cute sweatshirt is a good idea. Of course, you can always enhance this look by wearing some trendy sneakers in unique colors and t-shirts with unusual quotes!
