Treggings - a stylish hybrid of jeans and trousers - are worth a splurge for those who wanna be stylish yet comfy all day long! Here’s the scoop on what they are and how to rock them the right way.
Leggings are loved for their comfort and versatility, and trousers for their refinement and elegance. But, did you know that you can enjoy all these aspects in one piece of clothing? Yes, that wonder of fashion is called “Treggings”. They’re designed to provide the best of both sartorial worlds – leggings and trousers. Super-chic, flexible, durable, and comfortable, these trendy pants can be paired with almost everything. So, fashion-forward ladies can confidently wear them to office, lunch, or any other occasion where they want the perfect comfortable look that’s high on style too!
What exactly are Treggings?
Although they may look like tight trousers, Treggings are far more than that. They are the perfect cross between a trouser and a legging that combines the look of trouser along with the fit and shape of leggings. This stylish hybrid has pretty much all the benefits of leggings like – comfort, form-fitting, and ankle-skimming length – along with added bonus of trouser’s classic details. These details may include one or more of the following: simple elasticized waistband, belt loops, zipper, buttons, rivets, facings, patch pockets on the back, front mock zip pockets, wide waistband with slant pockets, stitched detailing, zip closure on the hems, etc.
In short, we can say treggings are functional & semi-structured like trousers, but forgiving like leggings. Also, they are available in so many shades, prints and patterns that there is one for every taste and need.
Tregging’s Benefits: What makes Treggings so alluring?

6) Perhaps the biggest advantage over leggings is that treggings can be worn as regular pants! There’s no chance of making a fashion faux pas in these because their fitting is flattering enough to keep the wearer’s modesty and style in tact.
7) They also allow wearer to add color and style to the outfit with belts, scarves and other waist accessories.
8) Almost everyone from a youngster to trendy middle aged woman can don them fashionably.

How to rock Treggings with your Body Type?
1. Pear Shape
Narrow Shoulders + Wider Hips
For women having this body type, treggings are best paired with a loose A-line or empire waist tunic dress. Wearing a long necklace will further enhance the flattering effect of the outfit by giving the illusion of an elongated upper body or torso.
2. Athletic
Broad Shoulders + Small bust + No Waistline + Narrowed hips & butt
Treggings are a great choice for athletic women to show off their toned lines. Pair it with cool crop tops and tank tops for a sizzling evening out with friends, or with a fitted blouse for a stylish day out.
3. Hourglass
Large hips & bust + Well-defined Waist
Lucky you for having a body shape that most women desire for. Your amazing feminine curves are meant to be highlighted, and treggings are the perfect choice for it. Wear them with a simple tank top and blazer for a stunning casual day look, and accessorize with chunky pair of earrings & heels for a night out look.
4. Boyish
Small Bust + Undefined Waist + Narrower Hips
Who says boyish figures can’t be chic and appealing? Team up bright colored skinny treggings with a complimentary lace blouse, and see how your cute androgynous side turns heads wherever you go!
5. Petite
Height: 5ft 3in and under
Yes, of course, treggings can look awesome on ‘petite’ ladies as they give an elongated line to the lower torso. You can pair them up with a knit turtleneck or a fitted knit top for an effortlessly stylish look. Or you can even go for a crisp white shirt and flats to take your casual style to the next level.
5 Essential Style Tips for wearing Treggings
- If you are even slightly insecure about your thighs, wear treggings with longer tops.
- Wear seamless innerwear. The body-fit nature of treggings can be a bit revealing, and so, use of panty liners is recommended.
- To counterbalance the snug fit of treggings, add subtle fluidity to your outfit by wearing flowy tops and jackets.
- Got longer treggings? Then don’t get them altered; instead fold them at the ankle, as you do with chudidar leggings.
- A pair of suede shoes, ballerinas, or stilettos is a great way to add to the style impact of treggings.
