Okay. OKAY. I want some jeggings. Fine. I've fought it and told myself that skinny jeans are enough, thank you very much. And really, isn't the word jeggings repellant? UGH.
And yet, I want some. While I am a big fan of premium denim, this screams "TREND" to me, so I won't be shelling out for them. And so, here are the jeggings that I have my eye on:
The pair on the far right, from Khol's, are only $19.99, y'all. However, I'm leaning towards the Levi's (roughly $30). The Gap version looks great, and I love my Gap skinny jeans, but even with the weekend's 30% off I think they are too much to spend on the trend. And while I keep hearing great things about American Eagle's denim, I don't know if I am up for navigating a new brand right now.
My main specifications are: must be denim-like, not leggings printed with a denim print. Must be sturdy and heavy weight enough to not show every lumpy bump. Must be $40 or less (ideally less!). And I'd really like them to look like jeans all the way up.
Do you wear jeggings? What brand do you love? Am I missing out on a great deal from somewhere else?
I have a pair of denim leggings (refuse to say jeggings, it's too awful) from Joe's Jeans that I really love. If you ever tuck jeans into boots, you need denim leggings. I was really tempted to buy another pair from LOFT today. They were on sale for $20, plus another 30% off. The rise was a bit low, though. But they're worth checking out, for that price.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair and LOVE them! The ones I got (from F21) have an elastic waist like regular leggings. No zip-fly, pockets, etc. They are denim fabric though (that jersey w/ the denim print is just plain gross!) I wear long tops/sweaters with them. SO COMFY!
ReplyDeletemy two best pairs of jeggings are james jeans from anthro. they were both $29.99 on sale. if you have an anthro with racks of sale jeans, i'd start there.
ReplyDeleteWah, no anthro here. But I am definitely going to check out LOFT for that great deal! And if I can muster up the bravery to hit F21, I'll do that too. Thanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteMine look just like jeans but wear like pajamma pants. Bandolino brand at Belk, $29.99. Belk also has their DKNY jeggings on major sale for $20.29, regularly $59.00.

I just got a coupon for an additional 15% off sale items at Belk! I think this is the winner!
ReplyDeleteI have heard great things about the Gap ones--that they are thick and denimy enough to give some good shaping control, but soft like leggings. I am considering the maternity ones, but you can't use the Give and Get code on those. Boo.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you have an Urban Planet near you, but they have some great ones that are really comfy, and less than $20 a pair. Lots of colours, soft and comfy. I love mine.
ReplyDeleteMich, I ended up buying those LOFT leggings! You can't beat $14, even if the rise is a tad low. They will do for the time being.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone else for the advice! If I like the ones I bought I am sure I'll be wanting more in no time.
I'm glad they worked for you! I'm still considering going back for the pair I tried on.
ReplyDeleteAt my store, only the petites were on sale. I tried on both the regular and petites and didn't notice a difference in fit other than the length. Since I'm going to wear them with boots, I don't care that they are short. They aren't perfect, but damn, $14. Thank you again for the heads up, I wouldn't have looked there otherwise!
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of the Gap's Always Skinny jeans. They're not true jeggings, but are really soft and stretchy. Other than that, I swear by Silver, a Canadian brand.
