The return of this late-aughts style staple feels like a real stretch. “Jeggings” — or, leggings that look like jeans — are getting a second life thanks to the retailer Uniqlo, which debuted a new line of stretchy denim. “Jeggings,” once a wardrobe staple of the 2000s and 2010s, could be making a comeback.
