This past weekend I went into Gap because I had a 40% off coupon (I found the cutest reversible navy cardigan for my sister's baby). Yes, I am already a crazy aunt and the baby isn't even here yet! Anyway I haven't been loving the womens collection recently but I decided to do some browsing. I've tried some other jeggings in the past but they were really just leggings and were not flattering at all!
I tried the black knit jeggings (1969 ponte five-pocket leggings-at my local store they were labeled "knit jeggings") and am hooked! I bought 2 pairs in black (2 different sizes though I wish I had bought 2 of the size that fit slightly better. Oh well!). Later in the day I was at another mall (wearing the pair I bought earlier!) and decided to buy the other color too (this store didn't have the black in the size I wanted). I don't usually wear green but I just love the way these fit! They seem to stretch out slightly/I needed to pull them up after walking around so definitely go for the smaller size if you aren't sure. I always say that if you find something you love then buy multiple!!!
I also bought the lightweight corduroy leggings. I wouldn't call these leggings. They are very thin and super comfy but I would just say lightweight corduroy. If you are tall: these run short. I will only wear these with boots (otherwise I look like my pants shrunk/don't fit).
I'm curious: yay or nay on jeggings? Have you tried these? Did you shop the Gap sale last weekend?

Love the corduroy pants! I wish I had scooped up a pair last weekend! I bought a pair of their GapFit leggings instead!
ReplyDeleteummm...now i need to go to the mall.
ReplyDeleteI shopped the Gap sale, for sure! I didn't try on the jeggings though! I missed out! :( Next time I will!
ReplyDeleteA while ago I bought the gap "leggings" that are made of stretchy dress pants material and no pockets in the back. I love them!! Gap has some really great stuff out and I've been looking at corduroy leggings for a few weeks now - I will have to check out theirs!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Gap leggings! I need a new pair, so perhaps I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any jeggings, but now that you're raving about these from the Gap, I'd love to try them.
ReplyDeleteThe corduroy pair looks really nice. I'd love to get a classic black pair.
Those look nice. I'm pretty picky about leggings, so maybe I will give these a try.
ReplyDeleteOk, so I JUST hopped on the jegging band wagon (target!). I have always steered clear, bc I dress preppy and classic, not trendy. So...how do you suggest wearing jeggings and still maintaining a classic style??? I need help!
ReplyDelete@ A Preppy Girl: I will create some Polyvore looks for inspiration
