Ive just bought 2 pairs. Am normally a 14 but have a 16wo DD so am a bit chunkier than usual and bought them in a 16. They seem ok, not as tight as usual around the waist, but in the past I've bought footless tights rather than actual leggings.

Do they tend to sag/bag at the knees after a day's wear, or expand at the waist?...not sure whether to send them back and get a 14.

Experiences gratefully received!
Thanks

I have a black pair of Boden leggings on today, they are a year old and honestly look as good as new.

I bought two pairs and have worn them constantly. They never get baggy, haven't worn along the seams and don't bobble.

I had to size up as they didn't have my normal size but this wasn't really a problem.

Don't wear a lot of Boden but can thoroughly reccomend these.

I find they are Very stretchy around the waist. Pretty good quality though- i bought two pairs in the spring and they are still in v good nick - unless my m&s ones which had to be binned.

Just bought some from hush (in a lovely marl grey) and they are much tighter and much less forgiving, but nice in their own way. The feel more like thin jersey trousers than footless tights.
