Eenie meenie… Whether you’re deciding between chocolate and vanilla or you’re the subject of a Kingston/Bieber collaboration, making choices can be quite the challenge. Luckily there is a fashion trend sweeping the globe designed with the indecisive in mind. Meet the jegging. Never again do you need to choose between those great-fitting jeans and your favorite pair of leggings. Now they can be one in the same.

I was first introduced to the jean-legging hybrid this past winter in Italy and I’ll admit that at first I was skeptic. I didn’t think I could trust an article of clothing in the middle of its own identity crisis. Are you jeans or leggings? You have to choose! But over time I came to find that they’re actually quite functional and fashionable.

Thanks to the jegging, you no longer have to waste time trying to get your jeans to tuck perfectly into your boots. And in the summer, jeggings are great lightweight alternative to real denim. They can be found in a number of washes and styles, often with faux pockets and buttons to resemble their predecessor, the skinny jean.

Looking into my little crystal ball, I see jeggings in my future. But at the end of the day the choice is up to you (and sorry, you can’t eenie meenie this one). Jeggings, fashion staple or fad?
