Jeggings are leggings which are styled to look like tight denim jeans, it is the blending of the word “jeans” with the word “leggings”. The 'j' not only refers to the appearance of denim, but also to the fact that they were first worn for jogging in early 2009.
Jeggings（牛仔样式打底紧身裤）指看上去像紧身牛仔裤风格的打底裤，jeggings这个词就是jeans（牛仔裤）和leggings（打底紧身裤）两个词的合成词。这里的开头字母j不仅表示这种裤子的外形像牛仔裤，同时也表示这种裤子在2009年初出现的时候是人们在慢跑的时候穿着的。

Jeggings were brought on by the resurgence in style of skinny jeans in the mid- to late-2000s, when a higher demand for even tighter style of pant came about.
Jeggings是在2000－2010年代中后期紧身牛仔裤再次流行的风潮下出现的，当时更加紧身的裤型需求量很高。

Since they are typically made of a denim/spandex blend and simply resemble regular tight pants, they are often worn on their own as opposed to under a skirt or dress. Some jeggings have faux zip-flies and pockets, while others just have an elastic waistband and no pockets.
由于当时的紧身牛仔裤是由牛仔布加氨纶的材料制成，而且与常规的紧身裤很相似，因此可以单独穿着，不用搭配裙子。有些jeggings会有假的拉链和裤兜设计，有些则带松紧腰带，没有裤兜。
