Introduction
Leggings and jeggings are two similar garments that are often confused with each other. This article aims to highlight the differences between leggings and jeggings.
Legging
Leggings have been worn for centuries by both men and women. They are skin-tight trousers made of stretchable material, often with spandex at the top for a snug fit around the waist. Leggings are typically worn at the waist and cover the legs down to the ankles or calves. They are popular for both fashion and exercise purposes.
Leggings come in various colors and patterns, and they go well with long tops and kurtis. They are comfortable to wear, especially compared to traditional salwars. There are now many variations of leggings available, including leather leggings and denim leggings (jeggings).
Jegging
Jeggings are a crossover between skinny jeans and leggings. They are made of denim and spandex, providing the appearance of jeans but with much more comfort. Jeggings have an elastic waist, allowing thickset women to wear them like jeans. They give the silhouette of skinny jeans and are popular among women who want to showcase their shapely figures.
The main difference between jeggings and leggings is that jeggings are made of denim and designed to resemble jeans. They offer a combination of comfort and style.
