So, where does one buy GOOD QUALITY leggings that do not go see through even when you sit down?

[MumSecret]

I know they exist because I have seen people wearing them.

But where do they buy them?!?!

Please help.

Oasis at £15 per pair are my least see through , Topshop are semi see through and Next are like tights so avoid them!

Fat Face

Mint Velvet leggings are pricier (about £19 I think) but excellent quality

White Stuff are not see through

wallis ones are 12 quid and are nice. The ones Ive worn loads and had over a year have gone see through but they weren't initially!!

M&S Indigo range leggings are the best I have, and they last years.

I'm wearing M and S ones at the moment that I bought about two or three years ago.

That is making me feel really, really old for some reason. Partly because I really can't remember when - the years are blurring.

But ... back to the point. They have really lasted. And they are not at all invisible-going. I would imagine they are the same as the current M and S ones, though I think I bought them from Ltd Collection at the time.

I have some from River island that have a small percentage of wool in them

they are fab

M&S. Also I got surprisingly good ones from Peacocks a couple of years ago.

I got a couple of pairs of really good (and cheap) ones from TU at Sainsbury's recently. Really comfy and mostly cotton. I don't know why it is so hard to find good leggings these days, it's like finding the the holy grail!

Second whitestuff. Boden aren't see through and people on here have rated them but they fall down on me.

M&S. I have their limited collection and portfolio collection leggings (no differences between them) from last year, and they're still great. And not bobbly or saggy either.

Select. Cheap and surprisingly good quality.

But Mumsecret, please tell us that you mean see-through at the knees and you are not wearing leggings without the obligatory long top/dress/tunic? Next you'll be wearing linen trousers and a waterfall cardi!! (will let you off though if said leggings are being worn for exercise)

American Apparral. But they are rather pricey. I am also going to buy cheap leggings to cut down to shorts-under-dresses.

I find Boden very good. Certainly not see-through.

Aaaargh. Yes, yes of course only to wear with long tops/dresses

It is the knees that bother me when you sit down IYSWIM?

I may have let myself go somewhat since having dd2, but things are not so bad that I would ever show my bum in leggings

I rarely get to wear said leggings anyway as I struggle so much to find nice tops to go with them. I see loads of people wearing nice things with leggings and they look so comfortable for toddler groups and the like, but I am yet to put a successful outfit together myself.

Definately M&S they still look as good as new.

M&S Autograph are slightly better than the other depts of M&S IMO. When you compare both one after the other there is a definite difference in some colours and thicknesses.
They are about £2 more expensive.

Hush have really good quality ones too.

I have M&S Indigo ones. I wish it were only the knees that were see through. Wore them horseriding. Had to ride on a reasonably busy road. Realised that the interested looks were the result of stripey knickers showing through, not the lovely horse [blush[. Serves me right for being too mean to buy proper jodhpurs.

Boden, White Stuff and M&S Autograph and Indigio range ones. Made the mistake of buying cheaper M&S ones recently (think they were 2 pairs for £15) and they are see through, esp on the thighs .

Huh?

I bought the Sainsburys Tu luxury leggings for £10 yesterday after being recommended on another thread. Very impressed! Comfortable thick waistband, long enough (I'm 5ft9) and pretty thick.

American apparel, I am still wearing the winter ones which although pricey are fab and very thick. imho this is the best place to buy them from.
