Jeggings Styles

Anyone can achieve killer style with jeggings. Yes, believe it or not, even curvy women can pull off the look with the ease of a seasoned stylist. Jeggings came alive by combining denim and 1980s-style leggings into one type of jean. Jegging styles range from dressy to casual chic. People you see wearing the look include celebrities, office employees (causal Fridays) and the weekender off from work.

Body Type

Anyone can wear jeggings, according to fashion expert Carlota Espinoza in an interview with "New York Daily News." The fabric forgives any figure. Apple shapes can pull together this look by adding a long tunic shirt or sweater to complete the outfit. Those of you who are short might want to pair wedge shoes to balance the body-hugging jean. Long-legged and slender women can pull off almost any look with this type of denim. Experiment with different tops and add brightly colored shoes to ante up your style.

Tops

Wear your denim with long, flowing tops. Avoid shirts that cling to your your body. Jeggings already adhere to your skin; you don't want to overdo form-fitting attire. Otherwise, you will wind up with unsightly bulges showing. Create an outfit similar to celebrity Sienna Miller as shown in a "Teen Vogue" fashion blog post. Put on a white, vertical-lined sweater that rests at your hips. Finalize the look by adding a casual and chic white blazer with a long necklace. Another idea: Pair a long T-shirt with a vest to complete a jeggings outfit.

Accessories

Pull your look together with a belt. Accessory belts cinch your loose sweater or T-shirt and accentuate your waste. Wear a belt that will fall to your waist to create an hourglass figure. Pair jeggings with heels, wedges or boots. Add jewelry to accent your jeggings style, whether one or two long necklaces or dangling earnings. You can piece together two necklaces to rock your denim ensemble. One way to style: Weave together a beaded necklace with a gold strand. Or, try black and shiny with a dainty rose-colored pearl. Keep necklaces the same length to pull the look together, according to Suzanne D'Amato's article "Long Necklaces Know-How" in "The Washington Post."

Seasons

Keep in mind that jeggings can get really hot in the summer. Material that contains spandex traps heats faster than other types of denim material, according to an Orlando Sentinel article on the StarTribune website. The material winds up sticking to your skin. Wear only if you plan to spend most of the day in the air conditioning. Break out your favorite pair of jeggings once fall temperatures head your way and pair with a high-rise boots.
