Beyonce wearing jeggings and faux leather pants.
Beyonce started the jegging trend in 2006 when she paired her jeans with cute t-shirts and blazers. Nowadays, technology is allowing brands to create workout leggings that actually look like real denim pants. For this post, we are going to focus on spandex leggings with printed on denim designs and leggings that are definitely designed for working out in.
