JEGSETTERS
Give a breather to your favourite pair of jeans. It's time to get into its new avatar jeggings!
Nothing, just nothing can replace the all-time favorite denims. At the most, there can be slight variations in shape, perhaps the most frequent experiment the denim industry has undergone in all these years. Shrinking from bell-bottoms to straight fits to narrows, climbing down from high waist to mid to 'dangerously' low, denims are here to stay and we are not contesting the fact. Nothing else can make up for the pair of jeans, but now we have the next best thing to them—jeggings.

Most of us feel trapped in the built environment around us. In our daily routines, we go from our home, into our car, to the office, sometimes to the gym, back into our cars and then back home again. Basically, we are going from one indoor space to another, all day long. Outdoor fitness is an exciting, fresh and efficient approach to whole body conditioning.
