I have three pairs of the Hue treggings. Two black and one navy. They are awesome. I wear them to work all the time. My first pair was purchased at the Nordstrom sale in July and they are ankle pants. The other two were purchased from Amazon and are long - very long. They needed hemming, but my friend did that.

The designer name, of course.  Slap a "Gucci" label on an item and the sky's the limit.

With all due respect to those who like these, "treggings" look like my two year old daughter's leggings.  A couple of the pics almost look like the trim is an afterthought too.  Not for me, but cute on her!

I know. I was hoping for something beyond 'perceived' value; something tangible.

I'm thinking that unless there's a big ol' Gucci across her butt she needs to keep the tag on! lol

It's just a a pair of skinny stretch pants with a ruffle.  I think they are super cute and they are doing all sorts of trim and hems on pants now.  Ok, definitely not for me but the young and skinny can wear anything.

I don't think the ruffle is what makes them a tregging.  A tregging is a cross between a trouser and a legging.

 

IMO the name is stupid.  They are typical cigarette pants or slim pants or a skinny pant, given a new name to seem more current.

I would prefer them without the ruffle for myself. Cute on young girls though.

Never knew until now that treggings are a thing. It's a hybrid of a trouser and a legging. I was on the site Who What Wear and saw a picture and article about Gigi Hadid and her ruffle trim treggings. I think they're adorable.

@Greeneyedlady21  I vote “no”....designers are putting ruffles, lace, embroidery and flourishes on everything. Jeans should be plain and basic.
