Tales From The Suburban Fashionista: Trend Report 17: Jeggings

When I first heard of the 'jegging' trend in mid '09, when the only jeggins avalable were super overpriced, and slightly poorly-made. So, I waited a bit, and purchased a pair before they became mainstream and everyone and thier mother (litterally) were wearing them.

Here are some of my tips for rocking Jeggings without looking like you forgot your pants.

ALWAYS wear a long top with jeggings, or else you will get a severe case of crotch-staring.
Please, don't wear flip-flops.
Even though I put flats in this example, it is best to wear boots with jeggings, because it IS leggings fabric, it can look awkward at the feet.
Try to get jeggings with faux-jean accessories. Ex. Pockets, a zipper, ect.
Jeggings were made for comfort, so stay comfy!
If you wouldn't wear leggings normally, don't.
Don't treat them like blue leggings. They are made to be faux jeans. Treat them as such. Don't wear them under a dress. Please.
Balance the straight-legged look with a top with a touch of flare, and classic pieces.
When picking out a top, remember: If it doesn't cover your crotch area, don't wear it.
Remember, most of all: They may LOOK like jeans, but they are still leggings. Don't wear them everyday like you would your jeans. It's gross.
