The July Issue // Fashion Focus // Jeggings: Combination Comfort
Jeggings
Written by: Kaitlynn Blyth
Want the form fitting look of skinny jeans but the comfort of leggings? “Jeggings,” - a combination of both of ‘em - are a new trend that offers the convenience of slipping into a tight pair of denim “jeans” quite easily. Here are some random fun facts about jeggings:
1. Jeggings have more lycra (the elastic stuff) built into them than normal leggings do, making them more durable, while still being fashionable.
2. First appearing in the British store Topshop as “treggings” (trousers + leggings), the word was adapted to fit its stores (and attitude) in the US.
3. Just like "bootylicious," the term "jeggings" is so popular that it may make a permanent appearance in the Oxford English Dictionary sometime soon... speaking of bootylicious, Beyonce can be seen sporting jeggings along with Fergie and Halle Berry.
4. Jeggings are available in plenty of department stores near you!

I've been jegging for a while with some high boots on that has heels, it is sexy and comfortable, some of them R so similar to skinny jeans which I like a lot :)
One of the reasons why i love jeggins is the fact that they make chubby women slimmer provided the colour is darker. My friend is one of those women.
This is one thing I just don't really like... the way girls wear them in my town and neighboring towns is extremely unflattering, and just not appropriate!
i have a pants that's kinda like that, its spandex jeans, its pretty comfortable but hardly to find.
these r C-U-T-E...i hav 2 get a pair of these!!!
I've been wearing jean-leggings ever since the summer of 09 and I didnt even know they had a name? lol Seems like I'm late on the name but "jeggings" are a thing of the past for me... *On to the next*
