Ok the only way I can wear skirts and dresses in summer is with leggings so I am finally giving in to them, I have 1 pair but they are a bit crap and keep falling down and I would like a couple more.

So where I can I buy black leggings that will fit long-ish legs (33-34"), are not shiny, not see-through, won't go bobbly and won't fall down? Ideally less than £20/pair.

Thanking you kindly in advance Smile

Top Shop's leggings are great. Buy them in the long/tall version for plenty of length. I have had mine for 2 years now and they still look new - no bobbling/thinning etc. Boden's version are also good quality but last year's version finish just on the ankle bone so maybe not long enough for you? Not sure how this year's size up - take a look at the reviews online.

White Stuff leggings come up longer than average and are good quality, around £19. Buy a size down though, they are generous.

Boden are the best to me, stay put, have washed mine about 30 times and still great - however, this was A/W line, not S/S so can't speak for current collection!

You cant go wrong with primark support leggings, had mine over a year. They dont fade or loose shape and mine were £5. Plus they make your legs look slim and hold your tummy in. I would get a size up though as they are really tight. I got 8-10 but the 12-14 are much more comfortable Grin

Boden ones are very good but they are full length, i'm wanting some calf ones for the summer, don't bother with the new look ones they are see through.

Thanks Ladies, I have ordered the Boden ones with the 25% off thing and free delivery. I also have a Topshop voucher so will look in there and nip in Primark too, worth a try for £4!
