    • 2013 May 10, Rachel Braier, “The trouser is so now in the singular world of fashion”, in The Guardian‎[2]:
      I remember first reading about jeggings (jeans+leggings) in 2009. How ridiculous it sounded then, a word that conjured up images of urinary infections and squished buttocks. Four years later, the M&S website devotes an entire section to this fashion hybrid.
