Quality fully opaque leggings for long legs

6 replies

LDNmummy · 22/02/2012 16:38

Can anyone recommend somewhere I can buy a pair of long lasting opaque leggings? I am 5.8" with long legs and can never find some that can reach my ankles.

I would love some lycra ones instead of cotton as I find cotton tends to sag around the bum and knees after a few wears or you can not get them truly opaque.

TIA!!!

Mint Velvet leggings are fabulous. They are thick cotton and have a fold over waistband so never fall down. Im 5 7 and they are plenty long on me. They do have a small amount of ruching at the ankle but its subtle (I like it) They are £15 but if you sue discount code RED you get 20% off during February

Hi I have read about mint velvet leggings before on mn. Do they tend to come big or small? I am an 8-10, have just bought pair of size 8 leggings from next but already after one wash & wear they are looking a bit see-through

Id say go for small in MV if you are 8-10

It was probably me you saw droning on about them elsewhere on MN. Im a bit evangelical : )

I wont buy leggings from anywhere else now, the quality on the high street is laughable. And at £12 the MV ones are only a pound or two more expensive

The M&S ponte treggings are really good and come in long

I second the Mint Velvet ones.

I'm size 10, 5'8 with a 36 inside leg and they are the best I've ever found.

Hmmmm don't know about the length actually, I am 5ft 3 and sometimes. (tho not always) need petite trousers for the length - do you think mint velvet leggings might be too long for me?
