Best place to buy white cropped leggings in size 20?

67 replies

Oh2beatsea · 03/07/2016 16:49

Need some white leggings that are comfy, cropped and really good quality. Obviously don't want them to be see through.
Any suggestions please?

Honestly, don't. White cropped leggings only look nice on rather thin tall people, and if they need to be a size 20 then the person wearing them does not fall into the necessary category. There is a reason you are finding them difficult to find.

Sainsburys? They do black ones in a range of sizes and the quality is ok.

Fuck that advice. Wear whatever the hell you want to op, and don't listen to the fashion/ fat police. As an adult female, you can make your own decisions about what you want to wear, when, and why.

Who the fuck made you the fashion police Colditz and Alias?

OP, Simply Be have some, and Curvissa have quite a few different ones.

Wear what you want, when you want and how you want.

I am short and curvy and I wear them a lot. They look fresh and bright with a nice top. I am frequently complimented on my clothes and style and I like what I see in the mirror and photos. Ignore the haters.

Wow!!! What a response.....
I didn't ask for people's opinions IF I should wear white leggings, I was asking for any suggestions as to where I could buy good quality ones.
Isn't it amazing how quick people are to judge and pass very negative comments? What does is say about those people who reacted in this way?!? No wonder people have issues around body image that can absolutely destroy them. Fortunately, I don't have those issues. For what it's worth, my reason for buying the white leggings is to go under a tunic style dress.
Dogdrifts - I totally agree. My ethos completely!!

I don't belong in Style and Beauty - I only clicked on this to see if my initial thought of "I bet some twat has posted something horrible" was correct and sadly it was. Why do people think they are entitled to tell another adult woman what they should and shouldn't be wearing? How arrogant is it to dive in with judgey comments like that instead of answering the simple fucking question of where to find something?

Op I hope you find some good ones and I bet you look a great deal nicer than the black hearts of some posters here Grin

Colditz, Alias - do feel free to fuck off. Honestly. How bloody rude.

Where what you want, some people are just horrible for the sake of it. Evans had some lovely thick cropped leggings in a few weeks ago, my friend bought a few pairs in different colours but one pair deffo white (think it might have been a twin pack).

I thought tunic dress, lightly tanned legs, snazzy sandals. So you need something that won't bag after one wash round the knees or start unraveling along the bottom seam.

There is an awful lot of sniffiness in here about tunics and leggings.

I got mine in Sainbury's. The quality is just fine & I'm happy to replace them as and when. I'm a grubby pup who has a tendency to kneel on the floor, park my arse on a wall etc I'm not that 'careful' with my clothes, so it suits me not to pay loads for boring basics.

Sainsburys. Our local one sells a black and white cropped pair together for (I think) £10. They are reasonably good quality. Not see-through!

I don't like white leggings on any one as they remind me of surgical stockings Grin but my sister also says sainsbos are good.

You wouldn't need plus size in M&s the standard range goes to a 22.

I really don't understand why people are telling OP not to buy them, she obviously wants to buy leggings so we should offer advice the same as we would to someone who said they're a size 8

Try eBay they will have a large selection.
