I agree

I never shop in Next but for some reason was compelled to go in there and buy their jeggings and they are great. And unlike most of their stuff they are not too big for me.

Their sizes are always big. Usually their size 8 trousers are too big for me but these fit.

I had to click on this to find out what a jegging was.

Now I know.

Sorry but denim leggings make me go all shivery, not sure why. Even on model-thin people. They are just wrong in my book - like city shorts.

I have taken a stance against the thin v tight jeggings like the ones in the second link - but I like those a lot. Back pockets eh?

Could be tempted.

Need long tops though? Mid thigh or thereabouts?

I am worried by the young people I've seen with the arse of their leggings/jeggings showing. Even on an 18yo that doesn't look too good.

The problem with jeggings, and all ultra-skinny jeans, is that they look ATROCIOUS if you are over a size 10.

Too few women appreciate this fact.

Jeggings = hideous style crime. No amount of nice material can convince me otherwise.

No it depends on your legs. I am a size 12/14 but ok in leggings with boots if the top is the right length.

Have also seen bigger women look ok in leggings and slimmer women look tragic in them because outfit as a whole is crap or whatever

Dress to your strengths, not your size I say.

But its not just about the legs. Its the leg/tummy ratio. You can have the best legs in the world but if your tummy is big then jeggings will make you look like a lolly-pop.

am i?
well i am actually, but not under this name.

i am sorry to say that I cannot envisage any shaped women who is an overall size 12/14, looking great in jeggings.

i long for this trend to pass.

skirts and dresses.
my legs are my finest asset too.

i have a fab new pair of jeans from Reiss. They are a sort of updated version of the bootcut but don't look mumsy at all.
