Please help wise people of Style & Beauty.

I need a pair of black leggings.

Preferably high waist.

Preferably under £20

Completely plain and must must must not show underwear to the world!

Preferably advice with a link and absolutely spoonfed to me which ones I should buy. Have spent the day looking but all are either not my size or transparent!!

Thanks in advance Smile

Boden leggings are very nice and quite thick.
My black ones wash very well and don't get baggy knees.

Next leggings. The £10 ones, they're not see through and wash well.

Sainsburys single (ie not the multi pack) are fab

Agree Boden good. But wouldn't personally wear any leggings with a top short enough to allow my underwear, or at least it's outlines, to be seen anyway.

If you're in their size range, the Yours Clothing 'tummy control' ones are ace. Yes it's cheaper fabric than say Boden, and the 'tummy control' is in scare quotes because it doesn't do much in the way of tummy controlling, BUT the extra layer of fabric means they never roll down or give a muffin top or show underwear outlines. They wash well too.

Gap Pure Body leggings are my favourite. They are at your price point and are really soft and comfortable.

Sainsbury's ones are brilliant-£10 for a pair (not the pack of two, the single ones) and they fit all your criteria.

I bought some Sainsbos ones this year and they don't seem as good as the previous two years - not as thick. Still a lovely shape and nice soft fabric but I wouldn't recommend them as an hg legging anymore.

These from Next. The waistband is so soft and they come up really high. They're not at all see through and so, so soft.

I have the mint velvet ones that have a thick waistband and are fairly high waisted . Very thick and not see through. They were around £16 I think .. Size down .

i live in leggings. Sainsburys (luxury) single packs are the best. Come in different lengths too.
