Shantilly Bow Tie Necklace, Topshop Blouse, Anthropologie Tank Top, Michael Kors Watch, Citizen of Humanity Avedon Skinny Jeans, Coach Boots, Gryson Bag

I’m admittedly fickle when it comes to denim. High-waisted styles look best on me, but they need to be worn with heels, and sometimes that’s just not doable. Skinny jeans are great for tucking into boots, but usually they’re terribly unflattering. When Marisa, from Citizens of Humanity, offered to send me two pairs of their denim leggings (I refuse to call them jeggings), I was skeptical. To my surprise, they’re tight enough so that they don’t bunch or encase your thighs like sausages, but comfortable enough to feel like you’ve left the house in your pajamas.

Ok, those boots are to-die-for! I saw those jean leggings in stores here. Too bad I’m pregnant and have pudge legs at the moment…or I would be the first one to grab those “jeggings” (hahaha)! Sigh….

I work part-time in a retail store that carries those jeans and they’ve been flying off the shelves – they are truly as comfortable as you say, and I wear mine literally every single day. If you’re looking for another amazing pair, I highly reccommend Goldsign – same style, but the denim is actually even more soft and comfy. And i’m with you, I REFUSE to call them jeggings. that word makes me nauseous.

Very nice Emily. You look beautiful as always. x
I love cupcakes
Gorgeous outfit. Jean leggings are so worth the investment for anyone who’s curious. Skinny jeans just never seem to be tight enough to tuck into boots. Try Joe’s Jeans leggings. They are phenomenal and a little cheaper than the citizens.
Love your blog Emily! Look forward to it every day and miss it on the weekends!

jeans/leggings are my new favorite staple… i’ve been wearing them practically everyday. I just got some really great affordable ones at H&M!

How do the “jeggings” fit? They are so cute. I want to order a pair but dont know what size to get.
Emily
Hey Crystal,
I definitely suggest going down a size (or even two). You want them to fit snug so that they don’t bunch awkwardly.

The little girl I nanny for had a pair today. They looked adorable on her. I need to get myself a pair I think ASAP!

I have been wanting to try these out of awhile now but have been wondering whether people would know if they are leggings. Is it really obvious or do they look like jeans. From the picture it looks pretty convincing so I might have to get myself a pair.

I love this outfit…I had to do a double take when you mentioned they were leggings. They look just like jeans in the black and white pics.

I finally broke down and bought some denim leggings (I refuse to call them jeggings too!), but I plan on buying another pair. They really look like jeans but have the comfort of leggings. Love the pics…and the bag…and the shoes!
