In the ever-changing world of fashion, we are constantly seeking comfortable yet stylish options. While athleisure has dominated the scene with its comfort and versatility, there is always room for new contenders to shake up our wardrobes.
Enter jeggings–the ultimate fusion of comfort and style. These stretchy, legging-like pants resemble our favorite pair of jeans but offer unmatched flexibility and softness. While Beyoncé once said that you don’t feel her pain when you don’t have to jump into your pants, there are times when comfort and ease matter more than anything. Unlike traditional jeans that may dig into our waistlines and restrict movement, jeggings provide a buttery smooth feel without sacrificing mobility.
![3 Reasons Why You Should Consider Jeggings](https://www.essence.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/GettyImages-109317758-3-scaled.jpg)
As jeggings combine the comfort of leggings with the style (yes, I said style) of jeans, they offer the best of both worlds for our bodies. You may have even seen celebrities like Beyoncé as well as other women embracing their style with jeggings. Once you try them, you may never want to go back to wearing regular jeans again. Here are three reasons to consider wearing jeggings:
From a distance, they almost look like a regular pair of jeans.
You can make a pair of jeggings look like any pair of skinny jeans. Here’s the twist! Jeggings are made of a blend of spandex and denim material, which means they don’t only have to be worn under a long oversized shirt or dress. While many leggings can be see-through, jeggings offer the look of regular jeans with added opacity and durability. Jeggings can also withstand several spins in the washer and dryer without losing quality, like this pair by Good American. I wear these because they feature body sculpting technology that flatters my curves and feels like second skin. And like any pair of jeans, there are some jeggings styles that offer pockets, buttons, belt loops, and zippers.
They are ultra-comfortable and make getting dressed easier.
Thanks to their spandex and denim blend, jeggings provide incredible comfort. They’re easy to slip on and won’t leave marks on your stomach. The contoured waistband offers a slimming effect, making them flattering to wear. It’s important to ensure you select the correct length as some may be too short, cutting you off, or too long, causing them to look bunched up and unflattering. Jeggings are true to size, come in various styles, and won’t shrink after multiple washes. They allow you to sit comfortably without pinching your hips or curves.
You can dress them up or down.
Jeggings are versatile enough to be worn alone and never go out of style. Pair them with a shirt or crop top for an elevated look. For a long day of sitting at your desk in the office, style them with an oversized white blouse, a blazer, and a ballet flat for a chic, business casual outfit. If you’re thinking of wearing them to the office, opt for a dark wash color for a sleek silhouette perfect for a professional setting.
