There are very few must-have items going into Back to School, but one item analysts are keen on is jeggings, pants which combine the fit of leggings with the look of jeans.
"Jeggings (are) flying off the back-to-school shelves faster than you can say 'OMG!'" says Hitha Prabhakar of the Stylefile Group. She says skinny jeans and jeggings made by Joe's Jeans are selling well at Nordstrom and Macy's , one reason Joe's stock is up 170 percent in a year.
Goldman Sachs calls jeggings one of the hot trends this fall, leading to this photoshopped picture of the newly "hip" Lloyd Blankfein.
Wedbush Securities calls them "the standout apparel trend," while Sterne Agee & Leech reports that "some stores could barely keep them on shelves, while others weren't selling as well."
