What Are Bleggings, Why Are Celebs Wearing Them?

We thought jeggings were the last frontier in the leggings craze, not to mention the downward turn in a persistent fash “moment” that simply refuses to end. That is, until, we spotted these bleggings (black leather leggings) on Ashlee Simpson in NYC today (she was guesting on Alexa Chung‘s show). Turns out, the trend we tried to turn a blind eye to awhile back has indeed caught on with celebs and their stylists alike (apparently Rachel Zoe just pronounced black leather leggings a must-have for fall—d’oh!) and judging from the crazy amount of them we’ve spotted on ShopStyle, well, bleggings are like, all official and s**t. And as silly as they are, why is that we’re kind of craving them? Maybe it’s the rock ‘n’ roll vibe they give off, or the Angelina-back-in-her-edgier-Billy-Bob-days appeal. No matter, the fact is, here’s one item where it seems ridic to splurge: I mean, it’s not like we’ll be wearing these into our old age. And due to all that leather, much like thigh-high boots, they’re stupid expensive, too. Yet, we miraculously dug up this pair of fake-but-high-quality leather Armani Exchange which are a steal at an online exclusive price of $48. Must be kismet.--Erin Flaherty for The Frisky

Will you be jumping on the blegging bandwagon or what!?

    First off- you need like ZERO percent body fat to get away with these. I had a pair of pants similar to this about 9 years ago and I went out to a club one night and the whole back seam (my butt!) ripped out. The fabric wasn't strong enough to support the stitching or my dancing I guess. So I hope they are made better. But personally, I am just not a big fan of any kind of leggings because they only flatter a small percentage of women. I am rather petite, but still don't consider myself small enough (or young enough) to wear them. And unfortunately we will see them on many people who should not even think about it, let alone wear them.

    I can't wear them. I'm only 5' 1/2"! My legs are the longest part of my body, but what would I do with the upper half?

    Okay, whats up with the super long NIKE shoe essay on here?

    Back to the subject, I think the leather leggings are adorable on skinny girls like myself but look god awful on anybody bigger than a size 3

    Not much different then a REALLY shinny spandex pair of very nasty (as in ugly) leggings I saw at Wall mart last week! This won't be a fashion MUST for me - sorry Rachel Zoe!
