What Are Jeggings?
Jeggings are one variation of skinny leggings, jeggings are a combination of leggings and skinny jeans. Jeggings is a portmanteau of the words jeans and leggings. A comfortable cross between jeans and leggings, jeggings appear in retail stores.

However, Jeggings are suitable for sportswear and daily work and life scenes. Pairing Jeggings with oversized jackets, long cardigans or sweaters will make you look more fashionable.
Jeggings vs Skinny Jeans: What’s the Difference?
- Denim Fabric
First, Jeggings are usually made from lightweight, high-stretch denim fabric. General skinny jeans are made of regular high-stretch denim. So jeggings will be lighter than skinny jeans.
- Softness
Second, the denim used to make jeggings will be softer than the denim used to make skinny jeans. But at the same time, skinny jeans will be more durable and abrasion resistant than jeggings.
- Design
Third, jeggings are designed to be tighter, so its waist design is a super-elastic elastic waist, without zippers or buttons. At the same time, there is no design without extra pockets to avoid affecting the shape of the leggings.
Skinny jeans usually don’t have an elasticated waist, but have buttons, snaps, or zippers for closure. Skinny jeans also have pockets for carrying personal items.
What Types of Denim Fabric Are Used for the Jeggings?
As mentioned above, great elasticity and soft touch are the two main characteristics of jeggings. Its characteristic comes from the fabric from which it is made.
Jeggings are made from a different fabric than traditional denim. The denim fabric used for jeggings is usually denim made from a blend of cotton and spandex. The elasticity of jeggings mainly comes from the touch of spandex, and the softness of jeggings mainly comes from the high-quality cotton of the fabric.
If you want jeggings to last longer, you can choose denim made of high-quality cotton and Lycra blend for jeggings. Lycra elastic quality is better so the price will be higher.
