SPONSORED POST: Learn how to not make a Faux Pax at wearing jeggings

Honestly, I was not a very big fan of the skinny jeans or jeggings when saw women started wearing them everywhere from public places to formal parties. I am not going to lie here when I say that I was certainly tempted enough to try them myself and I did try them a couple of times. The image in the mirror was not some sauve and glamorous woman (In my mind, I thought I would look like Megan Fox) but a fat, pathetic looking girl who was just trying too hard to fit in the IN crowd. The whole world was swarming with thinner models everyday and girls trying to copy the latest styles to look their best.

Well, I never had the courage to wear them until two years ago when I wore them because I didn’t have a choice. I was staying with my sister for the weekend and forgot to pack an extra pair of denims and ended up with a stain on the one I was wearing. Did I mention that I simply can’t stay without wearing my jeans? Ok, well, I wore my first pair of jeggings and by the end of the night I felt they were sewn onto my skin. They didn’t have any weight at all and oh my God!! The comfort was unexplainable, I could have worn them for days together. Then there was no looking back since then, I am a proud owner of so many different colours of jeggings now. The truth is that people asked me whether I had lost some weight..SOLD!!

Jeggings the cross or the Bi-product of the fusion between jeans and leggings, I guess the only reason they came into existence was to add more comfort to the skinny jeans. The high demand of the skinny jeans led to an even higher demand for an even tighter style of pants known as jeggings. Jeggings are constructed using Lycra, Spandex or denim blend to give them an unbelievable stretch that renders the comfort everyone raves about. Earlier they were worn under dresses or skirts, now the latest trends of jeggings online have led the trend to be worn as it is with stylish tops. Some jeggings have front fastening facilities while others just have an elastic waistband and no pockets.

We started off with simple Lycra leggings for girls which were no doubt very comfortable, but their material was generally very thin that didn’t allow them to be worn as it is. This led to the further invention of skinny jeans that were again very comfortable and soon they flooded the market with different varieties. The world went Topsy-Turvy with both these styles, but the materials used to construct them varied and some of them were not as comfortable as they should be. I have spotted so many young girls making a huge fashion faux pas in their attempt to look fashionable.

Jeggings online revolutionised the whole world by its new designs and styles introduced every day, the easy availability and last but not least the supreme comfort. Skinny jeans or leggings for girls are great, but when it comes to softness or comfort of jeggings they simply don’t stand a chance.

I think what I love most about the jeggings is that they are super comfortable, look so much like your daily pants, can be worn with almost anything from your closet and stretch in a weird way to take you to heaven with their fitting that be easily worn throughout the day.

Jeggings can be easily divided into two categories for easy understanding.

1. The kind of jeggings that look like real denim with fake pockets and belt loops. They are the tight fitted variety that feels more like leggings.
2. The kind of jeggings that are blended to perfection using the denim fabric and spandex and are also called Denim-jeggings.

I feel the God of jeans finally got happy with women who actually have some flesh on them and are not walking toothpicks. The crazy stories of girls lying on their beds and pulling on their skinny fit jeans as that was the only way to wear them, squatting before wearing them, the whole manoeuvre to just get into them are simply horrifying and yes hilarious too. I remember having a friend who had a very bad leg cramp while she was trying to fight to get in her skinny jeans. I have read about people that wearing skinny fit jeans led to bad blood circulation in their legs causing a lot of discomfort. Well, I thank my stars that I didn’t get around all this craziness to just look good and my first experience was with the ever understanding and forgiving Jeggings.

The people who are wafer thin can get into anything, frankly, the people who have an actual waist and hips have to think about the comfort and fabric that don’t just dig into the skin. Jeggings are comfortable to such an extent that they are my favourite travelling companions too now. Why? The skinny jeans or stretchable denims have only about 3% Lycra in them, whereas jeggings have more than 7%.

Someone great once said that knowledge increases on sharing, so here I am trying to imbibe my thoughts and experiences as a responsible jeggings owner. I have made some rules that will help you find you a pair of jeggings online in no time. Let’s just say in lieu of self-interest and protection of the jeggings clothing species, let’s make it work for you as well.

REMEMBER JEGGINGS ARE NOT JEANS OR PANTS

1. The Unholy offspring of jeans and leggings for girls are created using Elastane or Lycra, hence the unbelievable stretch. The first rule is to check the thickness of the fabric it has been constructed with. The thicker fabric not only supports your back, but also gives good coverage (no one likes to show off their panty line or camel’s foot peeking through). Be sure investing in a pair that is made of thicker fabric, but has enough stretch to make it comfortable.
2. Learn how to wear and pair them to look your best. Sorry, but you will need to experiment a bit till you reach the point of perfection. All women are not blessed with flat tummies and perfect butts so small length tops are certainly not made for all. For the rest of us, we can try pairing them with tunics or longer tops to achieve the winning combos with slimming jeggings. The unstructured flowy fabrics of the top will create a perfect harmony with slimmer legs.

• Learn how to create a perfect silhouette by wearing a short fitted jacket and a long bum covering top that doesn’t spell forced. Always remember that jeggings and long tops or tunics are BFF’s.

1. Since jeggings are going to accentuate your lower half (whether you like it or not) the length of the top is very crucial. The tunic length that flows over the top of your thighs, finishing at your most flattering point just above the knee will not only make you look slimmer but glamorous as well.
2. The best thing about jeggings is that they can be accessorised with almost anything and you will look great. For a normal day out, wear a pair of flats or ballerinas and while stepping out wear a nice pair of stilettos.
3. VA VA VOOM, look like a supermodel by wearing a pair of fitted jeggings with high heels. The proportion of elastane or spandex decides how tight the fabric is so your legs will appear much longer than they actually are.

• Jeggings can also have an elasticated waistand the high waist ones can help you to tuck in your tummy as well. They flatter your silhouette creating an illusion of a flat tummy and a round butt. I can swear that they make you look at least one size smaller.
• The most important thing to remember when buying a pair of jeans is that the darker the denim, the slimmer you will look.

1. The back of the jeggings comes up higher than most designer jeans, but the front is still low-rise and the back pockets are smaller than the size of your fist which helps to minimize the derriere.

 

So no more rough material rubbing against your backside, no more pulling up the pants while standing and no more peek-a-boo moments when it comes to your body. Online portals like Stalkbuylove have thankfully given us many options to choose from the latest designs and styles. I recently picked up a pair from this site and paired it with a halter neck top again from the site for a special evening with my fiancée. Choose your favourite from the jeggings online and rock the look with some stylish footwear along.

Whether you pick out skinny jeans, leggings or jeggings to make you look slim and feel comfortable, ensure that you choose the right fabric. Always remember to check the thickness or the fabric and last but not least go with your gut-feeling.

Happy shopping girls!!
