Neologism: "jeggings"

Jeggings: (noun) a new clothing style that is both a pair of jeans and a pair of leggings. These may also be described as a very tight pair of jeans containing high levels of spandex.

This particular neologism demonstrates the combinatorial magic of creating a name for something new by mixing the names of its ingredients.
