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

But where do they buy them?!?!

Please help.

This is the second old thread I've seen bumped tonight by someone randomly linking to eBay, different names as well!

My best ones are from BHS of all places, better than my expensive great plains ones.

Clearly not cheap Primark ones that look awful even under shorts on my slender athletic 12y.

This is about the only M&S product I would endorse anymore.

Sad

Come on M&S get your finger out!

noddyholder · 11/04/2013 17:40

H and M ones that are about a tenner

Toast jersey churidar in the sale.
The jersey ones are basically leggings but good quality.

I wear leggings everyday for work and I can definitely say that the thickest ones are Hush but they go a bit grey quite quickly. Top shop are good but go thin fairly quickly. I have not had any luck with M&S as they are not long enough for me after one wash. My favourites are definitely Boden as they stay black and are good quality. HTH

Cattleprod (or anyone) - please tell me what's wrong with linen trousers and a waterfall cardi combo...? Sorry but I don't get out much! Am I making some heinous fashion faux pas?

jubbablub · 15/04/2013 17:22

I absolutely swear by H&M leggings. They're about £6/7 and completely opaque. No baggyness at the knees after a couple of wears and there is no seeing through them at all! Brilliant!

woozlebear · 15/04/2013 17:29

Tesco. I have some excellent quality ones from there - only about £6 too!

I have great ones from Phase Eight, they feel totally different to any I have had previously, £20 I think but they often have offers.

FortyFacedFuckers · 11/06/2013 19:12

My topshop ones are not see through despite me putting on loads of weight since getting them

Lollyheart · 11/06/2013 19:17

This thread is 2 years old Hmm

Karbea · 11/06/2013 19:19

I'm doing ivf at the mo so wearing a lot of leggings as are my cycle buddies.

Primark - see through and waistband not stretchy.
American apparel - good and nice selection of colours
Top shop - ok, only can find black.

TallulahBetty · 12/06/2013 08:12

M&S. Had several pairs of black ones for about 4 years and they still looks like new - have kept their shape and not at all see-through. I'm always surprised that they don't get recommended more on these threads.

mintymellons · 12/06/2013 13:57

Boden.

I got a navy pair recently after reading great reviews.

They are nice and thick and stretchy without being too heavy. Worth the money.

burberryqueen · 12/06/2013 14:01

nike from sportsworld
