Jeggings were brought on by the resurgence in style of
skinny jeans in the late 2000s, when a higher demand for a tighter style of pants came about. Since jeggings are typically made of a
cotton/
spandex blend, (cotton being the primary fiber in most denim, a kind of
serge), they are often worn on their own as opposed to under a skirt or dress. Some jeggings have front fastening facilities while others just have an elastic waistband and no pockets. With respect to material, Jeggings fall into two main categories: • Jeggings that are legging material, i.e. a knit, made to look like denim with fake pockets and belt loops • Jeggings that are a true cross between denim and legging material. "Denim jeggings" are essentially a denim fabric with the elasticity of a legging, due to a higher proportion of Spandex in the fiber content. The latter are more similar to skinny jeans than the former. Some designers call "denim jeggings" pull-on jeans rather than jeggings. == Fashion trend ==
