Treggings and Jeggings

Everyone knows leggings. And what are treggins and jeggings? Treggins from the English word "treggins" are all the same leggings, but from a denser material that fits the figure, moreover, with their appearance, they imitate trousers. Their name is derived from a combination of two English words "trousers" (pants) and "leggings" ("leggings") ... ..

Treggings are made of elastic material, it can be leather, vinyl, etc. Their models differ not only in the quality of the material, but also in the decor that is characteristic of trousers: pockets, arrows, fasteners, stitching, rivets, etc.

A bit of history
In the XII century, for the first time, men's stockings-trousers appeared, which were considered everyday clothing. Perhaps from here you should start counting the lifetime of leggings, and therefore treggins, etc.

Be that as it may, but the fashion of those leggings that we are talking about now originated in the 80s of the twentieth century, and then in the early 2000s their rebirth followed with a variety of options, which began to be called treggins and jeggings.

We can assume that treggings first appeared in the Topshop collection in 2009, and a little later in the collections of Balenciaga, Maison Martin Margiela and other delusions.

At first, treggings were made of elastic, shiny fabrics, as well as leather. In 2010, models with decorative elements: cuts and embroidery came into fashion.

How to wear treggings?
First of all, it should be borne in mind that these are not ordinary trousers, therefore, it is not always possible to combine with the same top as trousers. One of the most successful combinations of treggings is considered to be an elongated top, in the form of a top, blouse, sweater, cardigan, jacket, tunic, etc., especially if the treggings are on a soft belt and without a fastener. An interesting option with mini-dresses. However, if you think your figure is flawless, wear treggings and short tops. For treggins, stylists recommend choosing shoes with heels, however, ballet flats are not excluded.

Treggings are made of dense fabrics with the addition of elastane. The main material can be leather, cotton, latex, etc. Models are decorated with beads and rhinestones, lacing and fringe, ribbons and bows are not excluded. Scrapes and cuts, rivets and pockets, various darts and stitches are highly welcomed.

Treggings fit tightly on the body, fit the figure well, but at the same time do not constrain movements. They do not wrinkle, so this creates complete comfort. Creating images in different styles, treggings can be used for leisure and sports, as well as for social events, because their appearance resembles ordinary pants. Since treggings are made of a denser fabric than leggings, their tightening effect is more pronounced, and this of course makes us slimmer.

Treggings have a greater variety of models than jeggings, which always imitate only denim. Treggings can be made from different materials, with any prints and colors, and thanks to the soft belt, they do not cut into the belly.

Many celebrities have become fans of treggins, with different hip sizes and heights.
