Leggins, Jegging, Treggings, Meggings

This item has got so many name & it's become more complicated!

Leggings - started in the 80s more sportswear/aerobics wear simple, cotton/spandex

80s revival of this item with modern twists returned to the catwalks and High Street in 2005

Then afterwards this piece of leg wear just got very versatile in the fabric department, wet shiny look, digital prints, zipped, lacy.... I think I'm sick of seeing them particularly last week in New Look and how they were displayed, carcasses full of them!

Then 2009/10 comes in the Treggings and Jeggings, pretty much the same thing, trouser+legging or jeans+jegging

Only difference it they’re just normal skinny trousers/jeans but with a higher elastane content, oh and have elasticated waists, so easier to slip on!

Ooh then bring on Meggings! Men’s leggings! So they weren’t very popular during 80s Revival, only some guys were able to pull it off, but then winter 2009 Meggings were back of course the classic Long John, much manly! & a handy item particularly this winter snow weeks we’ve had!

Celebrities influence and pull off the style and can make it a trend. If styled well on a man they look good! They’re also a subtle piece to wear under trousers a way of layering keeping the legs warm and no one notices unless they’re really bright and your trousers are short! But it’s also celebrities who influence

But the 21st Century has brought on the Metrosexual male, where he likes to take care of himself, and styling.... hell like girls getting away with men's clothes, I do admit to donning a few men's pieces guys could get away with some womenswear and they've done it, jeans, sweat tops with kool prints.....

OK I'm off on a tangent and gonna stop! hehehe

But I'm gonna share this awesome tune with you guys. It's a Korean tune by After School, really catchy pop tune!
