The “Jight”: A New Fashion Phenom?

A while back, I wrote about the magic that was the invention of the jegging–a portmanteau of jeans and leggings– for Missbehave. And now, Siwy has essentially introduced us to the jight–a combo of jeans and mesh tights. (Wait, should I  have just said that out loud? Should I patent the term before it gets out to the fashion public?)

I tend to wear mesh tights under my denim shorts anyway, so these Siwy Mesh Panel jeans are kind of creating an easy shortcut to getting dressed– and I do love shortcuts.

But do built-in tights really make for a $242 price tag? I’m sure Forever 21 will be in on the jight game in 3…2…1…

Yay or Nay? Mario’s Net Top with Leggings

Back in the day, American Apparel came out with one of those “wear it 50 different ways” thingies. They even had a little video playing next to the display so you could see a girl creating all the different looks. Looking back, I’m realizing it was just a long piece of colored cloth… but at the time, I remember thinking “I’ll get a lot of use out of this.” Once I got it home, though, I couldn’t even remember ONE of the ways I was supposed to wear it, so it’s pretty much been sitting at the bottom of a drawer for about four years.

So while it’s not really related at all, this Net Top with Leggings thing from Pixie Market totally reminds me of that experience. Although this one I could figure out how to wear just from the picture, because I’m a little sharper and wiser than I was four years ago. I think…

Regardless, we’re verging into unpredictable Fall weather now, so you’re going to be needing some leggings and a scarf. So why not 2 in 1? (Although, do these really count as leggings when they don’t go any higher than knee socks?) I think I would feel a bit like a puppet in this contraption, but would you wear it?
