网络上曾经就“秋裤”这一话题,引发了大规模的探讨,关于外国人为什么不穿秋裤,是不是穿秋裤就不时尚。

事实是,美国人确实不穿秋裤。天寒地冻的十二月到1月间,美国人也是一条裤子就出门了。

其实也能理解。首先,气候不一样。以纽约为例,很明显气候干燥,一夜睡来,不用唇膏嘴唇就会干裂。冬天是干冷,只要穿着挡风外套,戴好帽子围巾,感觉就还好,不会像国内的湿冷天气,冻得骨头都哆嗦。其次,房间,地铁,商场,教室,餐厅……一切室内都开着足足的暖气,挨冻的时间就在路面上行走的那一会。

所以国内时尚杂志上的欧美范冬日装束,在国内是挺难模仿的。下身薄薄的打底裤,在冰天雪地的大陆气候里,难以生存呵。

Jegging,作为当今风行的时尚单品,既舒适又易搭配,渐渐成为美国人手一件的冬日必备。一起来看看jegging的分类和优缺点吧!

Jeggings are confusing! We like to differentiate two types of jeggings: leggings that look like denim (they have fake pockets and do not actually zip or button) and ultra stretchy denim that hug the body like leggings. One surprising fan of jeggings Conan O'Brien, who discussed the controversial pants on his new show with guest Tim Gunn.

"Okay, this is what I really want to talk about. This new phenomenon the ladies are wearing: jeggings!" said O'Brien. "I want to say this on the air. I love it when the ladies wear jeggings. I’m obsessed with jeggings. I love jeggings. Not on the fellas, lets be clear with that. When I see women on the lot here walking around wearing jeggings, I just do a back flip."

Naturally, style maven Tim Gunn recoiled in utter disbelief. "Really? Any woman? Any physique?" Gunn shook his head and went on to say, "When it's the jean that really is like a leotard... it's not a good look!"

Opinions on jeggings:

Pros:
-They're comfy
-They're not as confining as skinny or tight jeans
-You can wear them after a big meal

Cons:
-They stretch out easily
-They're not flattering on "any physique"
-They're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from wearing sweatpants.
