AW 09 Trends #05 – leggings, jeggings, treggings!

By Noa • Aug 15th, 2009 • Category: FashioNoa, designer

Ok, so you swore no more leggings ever again after you watched that terribly styled 80’s movies….oh lets not forget neon leggings with oversize tees from the early 90’s…can we stop associating leggings with frizzy oversize hair-do’s and netted fingerless gloves?!

I for one absolutely love leggings…I’ve got them in all styles and colours…ruched leggings, leggings with zips on the side, lace leggings, pattern tights, half length, ankle length, leopard print, with skulls and of course a trillion pairs of classic black leggings…I wear them with dresses, skirts, oversize shirts, shorts…you name it!

Especially for the in-between-seasons leggings are the  best option! And what is even better is when we take leggings into the newest of the newest variations – et voilá before you know you have jeggings (jeans + leggings) and treggings (trousers + leggings)!

I am loving loving… loving the jeggings and treggings for AW, thick enough to keep warm, bang on trend skinny fit staying as close as we can to the beloved leggings but still something brand new – how awesome is that?!

At my-wardrobe.com they have all corners covered, sequins, lurex, gold, zip details, coloured, etc:

A fantastic cross between trousers and leggings! Wear these Joseph treggings with an oversized top (bring that 90’s feeling back people!) and leg lengthening heels for super long legs! Joseph Ankle Length Treggings at my-wardrobe.com


Up for some leggings with side zips?!

We like exposed zips!!

Want something with a slightly mode rock chick feel to them? Trust me, I personally looove my zip leggings – and these rocking Markus Lupfer treggings with zippers on the side have rock girl written all over them!

How about some sequin leggings?! (AW 09 trend #04 – sequins – double on trend!!)

Get your sparkle on!!

Ok, so you want some party glamour but you still want to keep it casual? You wanna be able to shake your booty on the dance floor all night and know you still look hot hot hot?! Then get yourself some of these awesome sequin tights from the Danes at By Malene Birger. Leggings + sequins = a double bang on trend!!

Part trouser? Part legging? How do the über stylish Olsen twins do their treggings?!

Treggings à la the Olsen twins?!

Treggings à la the Olsen twins?!

Ok, so Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are somewhat the pioneers of the legging comeback (we’ve all seen them in those wet look leggings by Kova & T – available at Bunnyhug)…but how do the Olsen sisters do it when they bring it to us in their own brand? Super skinny trousers – à la treggings at Elizabeth and James my friends!

Gold Lamé leggings anyone?!

Gold lamé leggings!!

So you want the glam but you think the sequins are OTT and too childish for you?! You’ve had a love for the metallics?! Then these gold metallic leggings by Jasmine Di Milo sure are your thing – Al Fayed’s daughter brings some middle east chic into the legging arena!

Apparently some of the über-chic Les Chiffoniers leggings and Daddy Long Legs coming soon as well! More the merrier – keep them coming! Mischa Barton, Lindsay Lohan, Victoria Beckham, Rachel McAdams, Kate Bosworth,  Madonna (the one true legging pioneer of all times), Kate Moss and the Olsen twins all love their leggings…and guess what – so do we!
