skinny jeggings/jeans

can anyone recommend skinny jeans or jeggings that are really close fitting around the lower leg?
I am a size 14 and hate the feeling of uncomfortable tight waistbands so have bought some jeggings but even though they are meant to be skinny fit they are too baggy around the knees and lower legs. I like tucking them into boots so need a nice tight lower leg.

I bought some from Asda and they are great. I have the grey and the black ones and wear them a lot. Size 14 apple here so comfy on the waist but show off reasonably decent legs.

The new look ones are really good.

I live in the skinny jeggings from M&S. I have them in several colours and love the way they fit. £15 per pair but they really last.

Interested in this thread?

I think the problem is if you don't like tight waistbands, you're probably buying them in a size too big.

I have lots from Next that are called denim leggings. They've like jeggings with a zip fly. They're always really skinny on the leg.

I can not recommend River Island’s “Molly” jegging enough. Don’t shop in RI for anything else but have bought 4 pairs of these over past 3 years in different colours.

The best fit of any jegging and I must have tried 5 or 6 different others - gap, topshop, next etc and they all end up digging in or being baggy.

Definitely give the Molly ones a try. I find they run true to size as well (I am a 12 and a 12 fits well, sometimes I can’t even get into a topshop 12!)

Mine are from primark and fit really tight around the leg, (in fact one pair is hard to get over my feet) but I've had to go down a size.
My daughter has some skinny stretch jeans from Asda that fit like leggings and she has quite thin legs.

thanks for replies, I have tried new look and m&s and still too baggy on the leg.
demented, are the asda ones jeans or jeggings?
I will look at the molly ones too

My favourite are my Asda jeans too. They do wear out fairly quickly of course, but it means I can try out new colours every so often.

I have their jeans. I don’t like jeggings as they don’t have pockets.

Asda Asda Asda Asda. They are amazing and great price( from £7) come in lots of colours, really comfy

Jeggings I think. Does that mean without a zip? They are just pull on if that helps...
