DD has some minor SN and cannot wear synthetics due to sensitive skin but high cotton 80% + is ok. She also cannot undo zips.

H+M? - wouldn't be "school uniform" but they nearly always have plain basics, like leggings, that could substitute. I used to get all-cotton white shirts for my dd there, for her school uniform. Lasted very well too.

Also Zara, though their clothes are less plain.

I'm nowhere near an H+M
Would need online if poss

I've seen grey leggings in Primark, Matalan and Woolies too - again, not in their uniform section but just as "basics".

Sorry, cross-posted - have just seen your online request.

Have you tried Children's Warehouse? - link is to some trousers that might do, though they seem quite expensive - maybe that's because they are pure cotton? It doesn't say - maybe give them a call? CW is usually a good bet for cotton-rich things.

Does Tesco do any of its range online? Another good basics place.
