Jeggings

I had a pair for xmas but I'm not sure they are "me"

Im tall and size 16. What on earth do I wear with them?

    I'm tall and a size 16 too, I don't actually have jeggings but I wear leggings with a long tunic or short dress. It is one of the few looks (in my opinion of course) that are made for people with long legs.

    Yeah I wear black leggings with a short ish dress and boots but jeggings are a bit more casual I think? I tried them on with oe of the dresses I wear with leggings and it just didnt look right!

    What about long jumpers?

    I love jeggings, I am 32 weeks pregnant, so they are a god send, I wear them with the thick winter jumper dresses you get, and flat boots, like snow boots.

    I have a pair. I'm not tall (just average), and a size 10 in leggings.

    I wear mine with a tunic dress (worn as a top), a long top, or a knitted dress.

    I already have stuff to wear with leggings and black and brown flat boots. I think I will have a look for some knitted dresses to go with, I havent got any of those.

    Yeah mine are the leggings made out of demin rather than the blue leggings material that are pretening to be jeans, if that makes sense!

  • Sorry to take the thread off at a tengent but has anyone got any recommendations for Jeggings?

    I bought mine from Primark and they are sooooooo uncomfortable .... they slip down at the back too .... I hope that they aren't a normally uncomfortable item of clothing but these particular ones definitely are!!

    I normally wear mine with a long jomper/knitted dress or a short dress/skirt (I dont think I have the legs to go bare-legged)with boots (as its winter).

  • id quite like a pair of these actually (so broke just now though, cant even manage a primark pair!) have only just started to wear leggings though so will maybe get into jeggings in the next few months
