are you aware of this phenomenon? its been brewing for a while now, and for a long time i was hoping it would just fade away. but alas, jeggings have become a full-on, raging epidemic. they have migrated from hoochie stores all the way across the fashion spectrum. you can find them at any price point in almost every women's clothing store. its a travesty of modern times.
jeggings are a hybrid of jeans and leggings. they are very stretchy and tight, like leggings, but bear either the imprint or actual stitching of jeans (pockets, seams, and/or zipper and button). think hoochie mama from the '80s/j-lo's turn of the millenium ghetto fab revival. they're in the same category as stiletto timberlands, belly shirts and excessive gold jewelry; great for a chuckle or a hip hop music video, not so great for your outfit today.
no one in jeggings is taken seriously. leggings push the limit enough, but jeggings go right over the edge. they are trashtastic. on the rare occasion they look good on someone, its usually a celebrity or someone else who has zero grounding in reality (read: rihanna or music video chick). the rest of us are bound to the earthly rules of style and as such, we are forced to choose between either jeans or leggings. sad but true.
