Now Jeggings are Leggings that look like jeans ( if you weren't aware of it already ). They are an amazingly comfy alternative to jeans or plain black leggings, but if worn in the wrong way it can be a disaster!
Here are some pictures and tips on how to wear this trend the RIGHT way:
Heels - The awesome thing about Jeggings is you can dress it up or down! when wearing jeggings with heels you want to keep them generally low. Kate Bosworth is wearing a small/kitten heeled pump, for casual dress she paired her jeggings with a loose T-shirt, fresh face and chic hair ( and belt!) which makes this a DO.
On Rachel Bilson paired a long sweater and blazer which is a DO! You need to even out your proportions, DONT pair tight with tight!
Flats - The same rules apply here DONT wear a tight top with tight pants! Jessica Alba I think wears Jeggings the very best with her Boyfriend T-shirt and cute Cardigan she looks casual and chic great for Moms busy and about! Now Whitney Port dressed hers up with a cute gold sequin blazer, letting her top be the statement, not her tights!
Boots - Now I think Jeggings were made to wear with boots and if you want to wear this look with no fail, slip on some boots and you are good to go (but keep those loose shirts handy!) Now you want to layer with this look, like Gwyneth Paltrow, and if you buy Jeggings without belt loops you must must must! wear a longer shirt your you will be sent back straight to the 90's (and I don't mean grunge chic vintage 90's, I mean the crop top with high-waisted leggings that make your hips look like they need a wide load sign -- 90's). A definite DONT.
Now here are two pictures that are just plain out DONT's: Charlize Theron is wearing too tight grey pants with a tight grey shirt which makes her look like she is wearing a pant suit and makes her look bigger then she is; just unflattering. She may have been able to save herself if she had warn a longer jacket like a cute slouchy cargo, and don't even get me started on the shoes. This other picture speaks for itself, everything I said not to do.
Well there you go ladies, I hope you feel adventurous to take on this trend, take my advice and you'll be sleek and chic ;)
Hahahaha!!! ".... hips need a wide load sign."
ReplyDeleteI find it funny how sometimes in fashion they'll use a really pretty girl to make it seem like hideous fashion might actually look good on everyone, like the last picture with the blue jeggings and cropped black top. How in the world someone will get away with it in this day and age, I don't know.
