I wanted some baggy comfortable shishe for in the house/late night dog walks. I ordered some from Next that specifically called themselves “ loose” and “relaxed fit”. They arrived and were so thin that they were almost see through. They were skinny fit from the knee down and arse clingers so I sent them back and ordered some different ones. Again, Described as loose fit joggers. I ordered a size bigger to ensure they were baggy. Well they arrived and were about as “loose” as a pair of cycling shorts. Slim fitting, clung to all my bulges, shite thin material ...

So I got pissed off and ordered some men’s basic joggers. They have arrived and they are perfect! Lovely material, nice and baggy, completely practical .... love them.

But why should you have to order blokes stuff to actually find something practical and decent?? Why is all women’s clothes designed to show off as much of the body as possible?! I was reading the reviews of these blokes trousers and found one from a woman who said they were bought for herself as she was fed up of impractical women’s joggers!

there was a similar post about womens pyjamas a week or so ago.

Uniqlo trousers are fabulous - great cut, fabric and lots of elastic waists.
I think uniqlo anything is brilliant.

I am very tempted to try men's running shorts, women's are so short, which doesn't both me for modesty's sake but they need to be long enough to stop my thighs rubbing together!

Completely agree op. I had a thread a while back about girls' clothes being useless and impractical too. I often buy stuff from the mens. They have pockets! Luxury!
