I’ve been out of the loop for the past two weeks. First I was out sick, holed up in my apartment. Next, I was traveling for work in New York. I’m not sure what happened in the time that I was gone, but the jeggings trend has apparently blown up in a major way in London. Shopping web sites have the jean and legging hybrids featured prominently on their home pages and I’ve seen them on women at Heathrow airport and on the street around town. It all makes me cringe. I don’t know about you, but for me, jeggings have always been what your skinny jeans become when you’re especially bloated. So when I see everyday women wearing jeggings, with the fabric pulled way too taut on their backsides, I think, “bad jeans day.” It’s virtually impossible to carry them off unless you’re a size zero, not that it looks great on impossibly thin girls either. But maybe I’m being prudish? Let me know your thoughts, please. Are jeggings cool?
One step too far: So how do we feel about jeggings?
