Jeggings.

Tonight I learned a new word. Jeggings. Blend jeans and leggings and that is what you get. Jeggings.
It turns out these grotesquely tight pants, whose main following is in the U.K, are on their way across the Atlantic.
Their appearance -as seen above- is as offensive as their name is ridiculous.
Knitted and pull on jeans were both names that got tossed around, but according to denimology.com jeggings is what stuck.
Google recognizes the word immediately, which is either a testament to the strength of the google search or jeggings are alarmingly popular.
My roommates boyfriend discovered the term at a mall in Toronto.
A friend of his that works in a clothing store was given a free pair of the stretchy pants by her employer in an attempt to boost their popularity.
He of coursed passed this information on, ending the time before jeggings were part of my world.
