The evolution of jeggings: styles to suit everyone
When jeggings were first introduced to the market for women, they were just another form of legging that were made to resemble jeans. The very first jeggings were made from the same stretchy fabric as most leggings and were pull-on styles that fitted tightly over your legs, hips and buttocks.
Original jegging designs look like jeans, with the fabric dyed to resemble the denim look and, occasionally, faux studs, zippers and pockets painted on the fabric. Some original styles have a pocket or two on the back and they are extremely comfortable to wear due to their elasticity and the fact that they have an elastic waistband which doesn’t cut into you like some traditional jeans can.
Original jeggings don’t have zip and button closures, making them extremely popular with women who can’t find a comfortable pair of jeans to conform to their own personal body shape. While original jeggings are still extremely popular, particularly when buying online, they’re not the only styles available anymore and jeggings in general have evolved with time.
Women's jeggings have evolved
If you take a look on eBay at the range available today, you’ll notice an abundance of styles and designs. The styles have evolved and many jeggings today more closely resemble skinny jeans. These styles have button and zip closures as well as pockets both on the front and the back. They may also have more actual denim in their construction, yet still retain a lot of stretchability. They fit closely over your hips and buttocks and cling to your legs.
The benefits of having so many styles to choose from is that they can be worn in many different ways. You can still wear them with long tops that come down over your thighs. But, if you feel comfortable, you can also team them with shorter tops to show off your curves.
In general, women's jeggings are very comfortable to wear as they have a lot more stretch than traditional jeans. The material is also much softer than jeans that are made from mostly denim.
They’re available in a variety of different styles including low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise. There’s a style that suits every woman, no matter your shape or size, so start shopping online today.
