What are Jeggings?
Jeggings are a type of women's trousers. They are also called denim leggings or denim leggings because they have a lot in common with regular leggings. Jeggings are often made from thin denim, although there are also models from materials that look like jeans.

How are jeggings different from leggings and skinny jeans?
If we briefly describe jeggings, then we can say that this is a type of leggings, which outwardly is very similar to skinny jeans. They can be called a mix because they combine the advantages of these two types of trousers.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2016/11/chto-takoe-dzhegginsy--16.jpg)
But there are still differences in several parameters:
Textile
If we compare the density of the material, then the densest are skinny jeans. They practically do not stretch, while squeezing the internal organs. Next are jeggings, as they are made from thin denim combined with elastane. Manufacturers often use stretch fabrics in these trousers. And in last place are leggings, because they are made of thin materials.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2016/11/chto-takoe-dzhegginsy--47.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2016/11/chto-takoe-dzhegginsy--48.jpg)
Today it is rare to find jeans made of 100% cotton; elastic fibers such as spandex, lycra, elastane are often found in the composition. Skinny jeans usually have about 7% synthetic fibers. Jeggings in this regard are more elastic, since they contain at least 30% elastic fibers. They are rarely made from denim, and knitwear is becoming more common.

Decorative elements
If we compare all three types of trousers, then leggings have the least decor. Skinny jeans can be decorated with a variety of decorative elements: buttons, rivets, stitching, patch pockets, buttons, cuffs, rhinestones, lace, etc. Jeggings are often decorated with the same decor, but only sometimes these elements are applied in the form of a pattern.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2016/11/chto-takoe-dzhegginsy--18.jpg)
Jeggings manufacturers have deliberately abandoned all decors that interfere with comfort and convenience. So, they do not have a zipper, as they stretch enough to be easily put on. Jeggings have an elasticated waist, which is not the case with skinny jeans. Jeggings have no pockets or side seams. Sometimes designers use prints to mimic these details.

Color solution
Since jeggings imitate jeans, they are produced in all colors typical for denim. Leggings can be presented in different colors, and even denim tones, but only because of the lack of decor and subtle texture, they do not look like jeans.

Wear resistance
Denim is often frayed with prolonged wear. Most often, they are wiped on the buttocks, on the inner thighs, at the bottom of the legs. Jeggings don't have these problems, but they can tear at the seams. Due to the large amount of synthetic fibers, pellets are formed on the jeggings fabric.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2016/11/chto-takoe-dzhegginsy--24.jpg)
Another difference is that jeans shrink when washed in hot water, while jeggings, on the contrary, stretch.

How to choose?
Thanks to the large amount of elastic fibers, jeggings have excellent stretch and stretch, so choosing the right model will not take long.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2016/11/chto-takoe-dzhegginsy--28.jpg)
You should not buy a model one size larger, as over time, the fabric will stretch further and folds will form on the fabric.

What to wear with?
Although in appearance, jeggings are very similar to jeans, when choosing clothes, you should adhere to the same rules as with leggings.

They should be combined with dresses, tunics, sweaters, long sweaters, cardigans or jackets. Since jeggings have an elastic waistband, it is better to hide it. A top should be selected that will hide 2/3 of the buttocks.

Short sweaters or tops can be worn with jeggings only by tall and slender women. A model with a high waist looks spectacular in combination with a T-shirt tucked under the trousers. The rest of the girls in this outfit will look ridiculous and ridiculous.
