The skinny jean have made it into the new decade — and recently one Daily News reporter tried out a few different pairs of the skinny jean's evil offspring, the jegging, for a very important fashion research piece. She starts out optimistic, declaring that women have been uncomfortable in their jeans for years, so maybe less-constricting leggings that look like jeans would allow the same style sans discomfort. Did it work? C&C California designed the only pair the author liked, and cost $128 — but even with those she noted, "These leggings lacked lift, and what's a pair of skinny jeans good for if not to give your backside some support? Fact is: Denim leggings are not slimming." That's so surprising, that something with an elastic waist would not be flattering! Alas, looks like tingling thigh syndrome will keep thriving in 2010.
