I bought some jeggings from "C" store not sure I can say it.My question is this are they suppose to be tight on the leg and do you always need to wear a long top? The sales lady said they looked good and after they are worn they do give. I am hippy and have large calfs. I like them allot but I don't want to look like I was poured into the pants. I don't really plan to wear them with boots but with flats. Opinions please Thank you

Jeggings are meant to be fitted and tight.

I wear leggings under dresses. You might try that.

Yes, jeggings are supposed to be tight on the legs. A jegging is simply a legging made of denim or meant to look like jeans.

It's always best to wear a tunic type top with tight pants. If you are of average height, look for tunics that are 29 to 30 inches long.

It's a cute look. Good luck!

yes, they are meant to be tighter and if you are hippy like i am then a longer top is a must. i wear mine with boots, flats, or kitten heels.

Leggings are not pants. and uhh..jeggings aren't either, so tunic length tops or a jacket that covers the rear and front (region) are the best bets.

I thought jeggings were denim leggings.

I too thought jeggings are denim leggings?

My middle teen granddaughter (14 yrs old) had jeggins (jean leggings) on last week.

She wears a size 2.

I don't know your size but I would never wear leggings, jeggins, or skinny jeans.lol. Because I think leggings and jeggins are for skinny people just like skinny jeans are! Unless one wears a long tunic (as others here have stated).

They are... Meant to look like skinny jeans with stretch so no you don't have to wear anything over the booty area if you don't want to...
