Jeggings Big for Fall, According to Goldman Sachs Back-to-School Fashion Guide

There's a lot we'd trust Wall Street with (hahahahaha -- almost got through that with a straight face), but fashion advice? Please.

So it should come as no surprise that in a new "back to school" fashion guide issued by Goldman Sachs, jeggings are gonna be red-hot this fall, Business Insider reports.

God help those poor little bankers' offspring!

The denim leggings -- which have pretty much been the bane of our fashion-obsessed existence since they first surfaced -- were listed along with the military look and "prints and plaids from last year" as this season's most covetable trends, according to the source.

Whatever you say, guys. But the last time we saw someone rock the ROTC lumberjack look at school, he got shoved into a locker.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, if you're playing the stock market), it seems the fashion report may have been issued for purposes of analyzing market trends rather than delivering sartorial advice, we hope.

After all, you don't see this sort of "style commentary" over at Vogue:

"Driven by persistent hot temperatures, sales of classic B2S long denim have been weak," the Goldman Sachs report said, according to Benzinga.

"If the weather doesn't start to cool down, analysts expect that inventory could begin to build and pressure margins."

Ooh, we love it when those bankers talk dirty. But stay out of our closets, will ya?

Meanwhile, check out our fall beauty and hair trend report.

Pleated chiffon dresses of the floaty, diaphanous variety were paired with sporty-luxe fur-trimmed anoraks and further contrasted by a futuristic beauty look consisting of smoky eyes and unfussy, slicked-back hair.
  • Duckie Brown at New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 Duckie Brown at New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 Play It's fall fashion, but the designers of Duckie Brown wanted their collection to have a summertime feel. The looks are perfect for those transition months from summer to fall, with light jackets and snug shirts. Mark Indelicato loves it!
  • Herve Leger Runway New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 Herve Leger Runway New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 Play For Fall 2011, Lubov and Max Azria did what they do best when it comes to Herve Leger: bandage dresses, of course. Yet unlike the miniskirts of collection past, this season saw a noticeable drop in hemlines - only to the knee, not to worry you girls-about-town - and the occasional fluid skater skirt. The palette stayed in neutral territory with models turned out in white, black, and gold, while slouchy knee-high boots offered a slight tribal vibe. To see all the looks watch our coverage now!

I have never understood why so many intelligent women listen to all these "experts" who tell them what is "in". Do we really have to listen to these people, and why can't we learn to make our own decisions? Who are these fashion gods that women obey, year after year. Come on, ladies, we can do better than this!!

Leggings fit very nicely under boots to keep your pant legs dry. My guess is that they are going either pair them with those huge sweaters that cover rears or layer them with some kind of longer tops. I hate the look. I will stick to my regular clothing. However, there will be wide rear women wearing them with stuff and they will look like balloons getting ready to burst. Heaven help us all!

Dear Manufactures
PLEASE don't make these any larger then a size 9 or 10 MAX!!!!!!!

Somethings (like bikinis) should be made in the upper sizes.

ew, ew, ew! Woman hating gay designers and their lunch-chucking friends seem determined to make fools out of American women even more virulently than usual! It's like, "take THAT, you stupid fat cows, THIS is the fashion if you are Anybody". I think not only should they make these things plus-size, but I think all the plus-size women ought to wear them just out of sheer spite! ...Anyone remember Roseanne, she wore these on her show with her giant chicken shirt....Meh. I predict 9 out of 10 pairs of these things are going to wind up on a ship over to some third-world country, where they can use them.

For these cute fashions, I wish the designers would make them for larger women also, instead of only making them for sizes in the single digits.

Considering what I've been reading for Fall Fashion I thought that the pants were going to be a wider leg this fall. Now we have these jeggings.. who came up with this term anyway? Aren't they just the same old tights or am I missing something. I am hearing CONSTANT complaints from women over 40 who can't find anything to wear, and are pretty much shopping in their own closets. It seems that everything out there, other than expensive couture, is geared toward the under 30's. Designers are missing the "boat" when you consider the millions of women in America over 40 who want to look fabulous. When Helen Mirren, who can probably purchase anything on earth that she wants, says she can't find ANYTHING with long sleeves, then nobody can.
