Jeggings can divide the masses. Somewhere between jeans and leggings, the jegging lives in hazy fashion territory. Simply uttering the word can elicit a range of responses – mostly negative. While they can be regarded as a fashion faux pas, there are a range of designers that are giving the jegging a better reputation. There are also a range of more affordable chain-store options that aren’t completely tacky. The following are just a few of the more stylish jeggings around.

Notice how they avoid the ‘**jeggings**’ tag by naming them ‘leggings-style jeans’? Well, never fear, these still belong in jeggings territory and are a very smart and stylish option at that. They look exactly like a pair of super skinny jeans, complete with zip and pocket detailing, but are made from super stretchy fabric.

If you’re after stylish jeggings then definitely go for one in a darker colour. Since jeggings are made from stretchy material, they can be very unforgiving. A darker coloured jegging is much more slimming and hides imperfections better. Team these jeggings with an oversized shirt or sweater.

Spring usually calls for lighter denim, and I guess that goes for jeggings as well. However, as mentioned previously, lighter coloured denim can be quite unforgiving so it’s important to wear it well. These bleached denim jeggings would look great teamed with a longline collared shirt in either a cream colour or something brighter like a coral pink hue.

Once again, the use of the word ‘**jegging**’ has been artfully avoided in this title. This pair is made from a stretch jersey fabric and, unlike most styles that cling right around the ankle, are looser at the opening. This means that they don’t create such a top-heavy effect and appear much more like a normal pair of pants.

Up the ante next time you go out with these sequined jeggings. They have a mid-rise design and feature zip details at the ankles. Wear these at night with a longline black tank and heels, or work a quirky look during the day by teaming them with a sporty sweater and sneakers.

So, I don’t know anyone who’d spend $900 on a pair of jeggings, but let’s have a look at this pair anyway. These rockstar red leather jeggings could be tacky but when teamed with a simple white shirt, black blazer, and ballet flats, it can all look quite stylish. What do you think?
So, there you have it. Not all jeggings are evil. When styled well, the jegging can look fabulous! What do you think of these jeggings?
