Who sells the best leggings?

I have just lost 3 stone and am now slim enough to wear leggings but which ones are the best?
I've ordered some from the Boden sale but there is a 6 week delivery time and I could do with some now.
I am size 10 and petite.

Sainsburys, Matalan, Topshop, American Apparel

Really? The sainsbos and matalan ones don't go baggy? Very happy if they are good cos I imagine they will be a lot cheaper than most places.

Mint Velvet are lovely - they are shaped for the hips and have a nice wide waistband, so no digging in. The legs are gathered at the bottom, which you may or may not like, but they are only £15 and mine have washed and worn really well.

Fat Face are also nice - very soft and comfortable, but mine are new so don't know how they will last, long term.

Thanks,I want to wear tunic tops over the top so I would like a smooth line round my waist so the mint velvet ones sound good.

Disclaimer: I have legs like parsnips and I wear leggings under skirts and dresses so only interested in thigh-down, particularly knee performance!

I found Sainsbos awful, really baggy at the knees. Same with JL (not quite as bad but not wearable IYSWIM). I used to always get the Gap ones which were perfect but they seem to have stopped doing them. I'm waiting for some Boden ones now, they reckon they're on their way so only about 2 weeks from order to delivery rather than the 6 they quoted. I have high hopes!

Surprisingly I got some from Primark that have lasted really well. More suited to colder weather as they have a sort of fleece lining (hard to describe). They were recommended by a work colleague and I was a bit dubious but I love them.
