We are in the EU, and my DD (18,5) wears exclusively jeggings (double stitching on sides and 5 pockets style) in various shades, rips and fads in blue, black or grey-and longer, maxi, hi/low or faux tucked in tops.
She used to wear regular skinnies before (same colors) but she opts for jeggings now more frequently as the better ones they nowadays have the same aesthetic(or better as she is really skinny) but are much more comfortable than regular jeans. No leggings by us, either- only for athletic wear, but than it is real gear.
When she was a smaller child (kindergarten+elementary school) ripped bootcuts &even flare hems + body con, midriff baring tops were the fashion hit....OMG, so happy it's over:-).
We, instead wore a mix of straight or BF jeans and tees(with sneakers:-)) OR pencils with pumps and pearls(&occasional blazer) at college in the late 80'ies...those were the times:-).
