Fearne Cotton is often spotted in printed denim, and like patterned tights have been all winter, it seems to be a trend on the up. Leopard, floral or folk; plain denim just isn't as high on the fashionista's wish list at the moment. This look works better on skinny or straight legged jeans rather than anything flared or baggy and ASOS is championing printed 'jeggings' as the hottest leg wear this season, read on for more about those.
Shown below are the much sought after flower 'jeggings' by ASOS. I know that my curvy thighs would not look quite right in them, but if you having a leaner, longer leg perhaps they will look great on you. When I was about 9, my best friend's mum had a pair just like them. Shows how those trends just keep on coming back around.
Printed Jeggings - ASOS - £30If you are wearing printed denim, I think it is important to keep a neutral base by wearing a top in a solid colour. I love clashing, but because of the sheer amount of patterned fabric involved with wearing trousers like these, clashing should be kept to the accessories; perhaps a scarf or headband. These jeans can work to enhance your inner rock chick or girly girl. It all depends on the print you choose and how you wear them.
If all this talk of 'jeggings' has you confused you are not alone, this is a pretty new term and not everyone in the fashion world is convinced, including me. Those at The Fashion Police blog were quite unimpressed, read what they had to say about this new breed of leggings here.

I have to admit that, having initially hated the idea of "jeggings", I'm actually starting to come round to the idea of the plain denim-like ones. I've got a long haul flight coming up soon, and I was thinking they'd be more comfortable than jeans, and they'd also look better with a longline top, because you wouldn't be able to see the sticky-out button. So I may be forced to eat my words, there!
Definitely not keen on printed denim, though, although I think I'm probably just too old for that one!
People like Fearne Cotton look great in their printed denim... I, however, will be steering clear like you. My bum needs hiding, not more attention!
Initially thought they were pretty daft but then on Saturday after some hours of trying on skinny jeans and falling deeper and deeper into a pit of despair at the fact most the jeans wouldn't even get past my calves, (never mind my knees and then my thighs and then my bum), I tried on a pair of jeggings and - aaaah bliss. So comfortable, tight where you want them and stretchy where you need a bit of 'eating space.
Was all ready to head to the till until I turned around to see the rear view in the mirror!!
If printed denim is back, then I can head on to my mom's closet and search for her old pair. It's pretty exciting how fashion repeats itself but I sooo love the 80's fashion.
Hey it looks so beautiful and this is the old fashion who comes again so it easy for me to use it because i have come cloths of my mom of this fashion.
Oh my god. I remember this the first time round.
Great on models, less good on us ordinary mortals. Especially when the elastic has gone on the flowery leggings, making it look as if you are wandering around in a large baby-gro.
Avoid avoid avoid!!!!!!!Fashion alert!!!!
