Wants: Jeggings

Jeggings were a trend that I had a hard time accepting. I was a staunch opponent of leggings as pants because it just looks bad. It looks so unkempt. Like you just rolled out of bed and didn't bother to wear pants. Now, let me clarify, I don't mind leggings. I think leggings are great. Though, personally, I stopped wearing the calf length leggings and wear either tights or ankle length leggings because they elongate my legs instead of making them look stumpy.

BUT, I just have a face of horror when I see a girl wear leggings as pants i.e. I can see their crotch/butt. I just don't think this is a cute look. MAYBE... MAYBE as an outfit to the gym, it would be acceptable, but even then, don't you need your bits to breathe? In any case, I don't think I should be seeing anything skin tight around that area. It just looks.. whorish.

But jeggings aren't like that. They actually look like jeans. They're opaque and although they don't have much structure, the material is thicker so you don't get awkward bumps and lumps. And they just make your jeans look like they were made for you.

Sadly, I haven't found a pair that I've liked yet. :'( I'm gonna keep looking, but it's hard to find one that's the right length on me. Also, I don't know if you can tailor it like regular jeans since the spandex needs a different type of stitching.

Wish me luck on finding a good pair!
