Jeggings: They're a J-No

Y'know how some things work in theory but not in practice? Well, some things don't work in either. Listen, and I say this unequivocally--jeggings is a failed design, kinda like the jumpsuit.  From a word-formation standpoint, it's alright, even kinda cute. Jeans+Leggings=Jeggings. Let's dig deeper though and look at the parts: jeans are great, just universally appealing; leggings are okay (seriously they are just okay--not everyone can or should wear leggings). So it stands to reason that if you take something as delightful as jeans and add something that's not repulsive, you'd get a decent end result. You'd be wrong. This reminds me of when somebody thought it would be a good idea to mix peanut butter and jelly together in the same jar, swirled in layers. It was disgusting, and so are jeggings. Some hybrids just don't work. Before I go into a full-throttle rant, I'd just like to point out that a miniscule percentage of the female population can wear jeggings somewhat successfully. This person is under the age of 20, petite but slightly curvy (size 0 or 2), and graceful but also athletic, so basically a ballerina/gymnast/mouseketeer, possibly Romanian. And you know what? She'd look better in something else. If you are in this micro percentage of the population and inexplicably drawn to jeggings, please, please, please wear something over them that covers your butt, cuz this hybrid is more leggings than jeans and they do not function as full-blown pants/trousers, not even close. A boyfriend cardigan might do the trick. Jeggings is a J-No.
