Would You Wear Jeggings? A Round Up of Options

Is it just me or are Jeggings everywhere lately? The first time I heard the term, I dismissed it as fashion editorial nonsense but looks like they are here to stay.

If you are asking what are Jeggings?
Jeans + Leggings = Jeggings. Essentially super fitted jeans that might as well be leggings.

Skinny jeans are good! Leggings are good when worn correctly. The marraige of the 2? I'm a little torn. I mean we've already established that leggings are not pants does adding a few pockets make it ok? I'm thinking it'll really have to depend on the material! If it's super stretchy denim, perhaps it's okay, but if it's a thin jersey, we don't want to see that camel toe, so be sure to cover up with a tunic, mini or summer dress.

Jeggings are pretty affordable and here's a quick roundup of what I saw available...not necessarily advisable!

Target's Xhilaration Jeggings for only $9.99, they are sold out online but perhaps they can still be found in stores? Don't really love this version as I feel like people might falsely try to wear them as pants!

Surprisingly Amazon.co.uk had a version of acid wash for only $16 that look fairly substantial.

Topshop Jeggings in Grey Denim Look $40. These look pretty bland and you almost can't tell they are jeans! I think these should be worn like leggings and definitely not pants.


ASOS by far had the best variety at the best prices. I think these might be safely worn as pants because they look slightly more substantial. They range in price from approximately $17 for the metallic versions on sale up to $48 for the cute floral print version.

Finally the creme de la creme of jeggings brought to you by the lovely designer/stylists of Current Elliott for $218 via Shopbop.com

Hi ladies! I just read your earlier recaps of Refinery's Save Fashion -- great job! Could you tell me if they're taking credit cards? I'd greatly appreciate it. :)

Thanks!

I actually like the black ASOS jeggings with the metallic sheen-- but for the most part these are pretty ridiculous. Staying away!

i bought a pair of jeggings at the weekend! they are brilliant for people who, like me, struggle to ever find jeans that fit! i have always worn skinnies because they are the only thing that suits my stick legs, but with it being summer they are far too warm!! i bought some jeggings with pockets and just wear them as jeans! anyone who has noticed they are not jeans has given me compliments... and my jeggings are obviously good because hardly anyone has noticed! :)

I agree that skinnys are way to hot to wear in the summertime! It's great that you found a version that look so jeanlike ;)
