REALLY Stretchy Jeggings

8 replies

Can't wear skinny jeans due to large calves. Jeggings seem ideal but need to be really, really stretchy to accommodate lower leg. Going up a size or 2 is not an option as then nothing fits on the waist/hip.

I have an old FatFace pair which are great but this year's offerings just feel too tight on the calf.

Anyone come across an accommodating brand?

Try Topshop Joni. They are thin and very stretchy. They market them as jeans but they’re jeggings.

Peacocks 'Holly' range. Look like skinny jeans - have zip and button rather than pull on, but are jeggings.

I thought I'd never get into either skinny jeans or jeggings for much the same reason - but these have been my saviour.

If there isn't a Peacocks near you, I think they do online delivery.

The DP Eden ones are good and stretchy and accommodate my calves. I have over developed calf muscles and loads of knee high boots don't fit them so I imagine they're pretty large.
