Decent black leggings to wear instead of tights

[Pikachuking]

I’m 2 years postpartum and think it’s time to shed tracksuit bottoms and wear some dresses again! Not sure why I have decided to do so in the cold weather but that’s why I’m looking for recommendations!

I was going to buy some opaque tights from Wolford or Falke but quickly realised I’ll be kneeling on the ground most of the time with my toddler! That’s why I want to try black leggings and socks instead so I don’t have to worry about showing my arse. Hoping it won’t look really weird!

I’m tall (5’10”) with long legs (33 inside leg) and I wear an XL in Sweaty Betty which they say is 16/18 but I think I’m probably more like a 14. I don’t like things that are too tight (no compression leggings!) or itchy. I don’t mind that soft yoga pant material but I prefer natural fibres. I don’t buy from fast fashion brands. I was thinking of trying Lululemon Align but they don’t have my size in stock in black.

Thanks for your recommendations!

I like the M&S high waisted ones.
£12.50, nice and thick, don't bag at the knees and wash well.

Oh to find black leggings that don’t bag at the knees,…that would be my holy grail!

I have black leggings from Lands' End that have lasted years. There is often a discount code. https://www.landsend.co.uk/Womens_Starfish_Ultimate_Leggings_/pp/P_18756.html?dwvar_P__18756_sizeVariation=59&dwvar_P__18756_color=CHH

@Gall10 well your search is now over!

Please can you add a link? My marks leggings do sag but keen to try others….

I ordered these, thank you! They are very soft and comfy, I’m going to keep them. The long isn’t that long and they are a bit big around the waist but as I’m wearing them with a dress nobody will see and it means there’s plenty of space to tuck my thermal vest in 😂

Glad to help!
