Exercise leggings for size 16, that dont fall down!

[Bemyclementine]

Please recommend if you can. I'd like some high waisted, reasonably thick/firm leggings, preferably with a leg pocket, that don't break the bank and don't have garish patterns.

I have a few pairs but they invariably slip down, even when used for walking.

I'm currently rather apple shaped which can't help.

I’ve just got these (recommended by a friend) and am impressed. They even have the pocket you mention. I usually go for Nike leggings, but I’d get these again

Sweaty Betty do lots of plain and patterned squat-proof leggings. There's usually a sale/offer/discount code happening.

Next have some with a drawstring waistband that are really good! Can't navigate their website, but got mine in store!

The ones I bought from Decathlon have been brilliant. Never fall down, wash really well, properly opaque, very comfortable.

Adidas running leggings with the ties inside. I am apple shaped too and no slipping down whatsoever. No leg pockets but they have a pocket on the back waistband. They come up a bit big so I’d size down.

Sweaty Betty.

Pour Moi are amazing! They have pockets too

Go Move leggings from M&S. My Sweaty Betty's roll down constantly and these don't, nice pattern too. Delighted with them

Sweaty Betty or Lululemon are my go to when I want to spend some money. I’ve never had one issue with leggings from either shop. M and S are great for a cheaper legging, really pleased with them.

Best I’ve ever worn and at £20 very reasonable too!

Another vote for llama leisure - good high waistband that doesn't shift (and I've done yoga, weights and running in them). Well priced, well made and have a pocket option. They do plain colours alongside all the slightly more garish patterns!

I looked at Sweaty Betty before posting. They're very expensive! Out of my price range. I don't want to spend loads, especially when I don't know if they'll work for me.

I'll have a look at sone other links too thank you. I dobt like the idea of drawstring/ties really, I feel like it would take the comfort away potentially

I also came to say Llama leisure... so comfy and soft .

I like BAM leggings. I am a size 16/18 and the size 16 ones fit me well and stay put whatever exercise I do in them.

I’m a size 16 apple shaped and I like the M&S good move ones. I can’t bring myself to pay sweaty Betty / Lulu lemon prices for clothes I’m literally going to be a red faced sweaty mess in. Even with the M&S ones I’ve bought in the sale or new with tags on Vinted.

Ive had decathlon and H&M ones and they’ve been fine, but the M&S ones have a big side pocket that takes a phone.

Amazing Jane ... best leggings I've ever owned and now live in them 😁

Not fabletics they fall down! I e just bought some wrap waist gym leggings from next that are really promising.

Most running leggings have an inner drawstring and this will mean they don’t fall down

Matalan surprisingly good.

A fee m and s recommendations. Any in particular or are they all good?

Asos own active wear leggings are amazing , don't fall down at all so think and squat proof and are under £20
