I finally caved to the jeggings trend. Or, maybe the word jeggings is already last year because the tag said Jean Leggings. Either way, I caved. I am happy I did. I think. They seem totally acceptable with tall boots and an oversized shirt. I haven't tried enough different style tops with them to have a set opinion on shirt style but my instinct seems to guide me to bigger rather than smaller.
For my first foray into the world of jeggings, I decided the key was to layer and flow. Black turtlenecks are one of my wardrobe staples and they never lead me astray. So, I layered that with a flowy, oversized tank and a statement necklace. The size of the tank helped me feel okay about the tightness of my pants, at least in my mind. And, a necklace seems to make so much more of a statement when it is on top of a black turtleneck.
My daughter and I had Princess Day today (nails, shopping, Build-A-Bear, dress up) and although I haven't seen too many princesses following the jegging trend, I highly recommend it.
Have you ever worn jeggings? If so, I'd love to hear your favorite way to wear them.
