Jeggings don't love me, Mandipa! They suit your figure and lifestyle well, though, and I'm guessing that they will always be "in" to some degree in your environment, since they play so nicely with traditional dressing. I suspect that Angie would say something like, they're no longer trending, but are still "in style." For you, I think they'd be a great way to wear a shorter dress or a tunic and still feel like you could sit cross legged, bend over to pick up baby toys, or be out and about without having to sit with your knees plastered together on a bus.
I wonder if wicking fabrics --- more like gear leggings -- might not be a good investment for you.
