Leggings / capsule wardrobe refresh

5 replies

After the fab advice earlier, what is the lowdown on Leggings? Boden used to do great long life ones but are there other brands that wash well and last?

Also I am trying to refresh my capsule wardrobe, have M&S jeggings in a few colours, boden stripy bretons, boyfriend cardigans and need leggings and tunics. Any good buys to recommend? Thank you!

The best leggings I've had were from Warehouse I think, but that was years ago. Bought some from there recently and they weren't as good . I also like Next and M&S.

I read some good advice on here re capsule wardrobe re colours; stick to neutrals plus a couple of other colours. I think some people choose colours which complement each other so everything goes together. I couldn't realistically do that as I had a lot of a few colours which don't really 'go', so I have reduced my wardrobe to neutrals plus purple / royal blue and red / orange. It is now tiny! I am very smug about it actually and may have spent an evening arranging it in colour order need to get out more Grin. Sorry that's not really what you asked was it? Just wanted an excuse to tell people about my new small wardrobe.
