Jeggings—EEEK!
Comments
If you have nice legs, show them off under a pretty skirt with a well-turned heel! I hope no one seriously thinks that these “jeggings” flatter a woman’s legs…they don’t!!! I agree this is part of the devolution of fashion into, I don’t know what, some horrid basement filled with garments that should not see the light of day!
So THAT’s what they’re called! I saw them on a GUY (worn with Chuck Taylors, not pumps)in a local bookstore. Yikes.
Jeggings rank among the most appalling garments ever made. Frankly, I must agree with an earlier post that leggings should be reserved for the gym or the privacy of your home. Audrey Hepburn, Jackie-O, the Duchess of Windsor—they would never have worn jeggings or leggings. I recently saw a pair of jeggings that were studded with mirrors. Nothing says, “I’m a working girl,” better than clothing like that.
I’m going to be honest. Okay, I think I am the only 22 year old that believes leggings aren’t pants unless you are working out at the gym. Jeggings are no better than leggings. I can’t stand it when I see someone wear leggings as pants with a T-shirt. It’s a mess!

UGH!!!
A few weeks ago, I went to the big sale at Neiman’s, hoping to find new pair of jeans that fit (they carry Seven jeans, which fit me really well but are generally too expensive—unless they are on sale). Anyway, all they had was stack upon stack of those elasticated disasters called jeggings. It doesn’t matter how bony one is, they look like they’ve been spray-painted on—in fact, they seem to create fat where there is none (see above photos!)
Why, oh why, are stores so averse to stocking attractive basics like well-made jeans, the perfect white shirt, flawless pencil skirts that aren’t cut up to *here*, and jackets that don’t scream “I’m so trendy I’ll be out of fashion before you get me home” ? I’m not a fan of throwaway fashion—certainly not at Neiman’s prices—and neither are my friends.
Even places like Banana Republic and Anne Taylor have steered away from being the go-to store for the well-made basics we all need, and need to replace every so often. Back in the day, Victoria’s Secret used to carry the basic clean-lined undergarments that work with everything and simple white cotton nightgowns that are perfect for hot nights, but now, it’s all cheap, badly-made and bright-colored “hooker wear”, with nary a white cotton nightie in sight.
From what I can see, few women are buying that trendy rubbish. And as for jeggings, I’ve only seen them on junior high school girls.
These are going to be snapped up by the “ladies of the night”—- especially when accessorized with the “come f**k me” shoes.
Okay, I was a bit distracted (blinded) when I wrote my earlier entry…
Change “non-approproiate” to “inappropriate”
Yes, be prepared to see all sorts of non-approproiate women wearing this lovely item. They even make the models look slutty/trashy. I can hardly wait until they go on sale at Wal-Mart!
They should be called Fattings… cause that’s what anyone foolish enough to wear them will look like.
Pigtown Design is right—they will be worn only by those who shouldn’t!
these just don’t look good on anyone. but they usually look worse on the women who wear them who certainly shouldn’t.
let’s see some PRETTY!
