M&S Jegging insight please!!

I have finally decided to give these a whirl after reading rave reviews about them, and not just on here!

I'm a size 14 (30"ish) waist and i'm 1"76 - is the sizing relatively true to size?

Also so many different colours - not quite sure what would look best on chunky bum (obviously something dark but love the look of the lighter colours)? What tops do you wear with yours ?

Another question - what is the difference between the jean type or just the jeggings?

I'm obviously hoping that these will change my life Grin

I love my Limited Collection M&S jeggings but wasn't that impressed with the regular M&S ones. I had 2 pairs and did get the dreaded knee and bum bag after a few washes. They felt like skinnies to me not jeggings. Saying the the colour did not fade in the wash (I had a teal pair and a red pair). I'd also say they were maybe a little on the big side size wise. Try a 12 you never know. My waist is a 32" but I'm a 12 elsewhere. I bought a 14 and they fitted my waist but were big on my legs.

I have the m&s indigo ones, I've got black & have had them for about 4 years. Love them, stayed black not gone baggy on bum or knees & are really comfy. I'm size 10 & bought a 10 & they're fab fit. Will be buying some more cheerful colours for spring/summer. I wear them with all tops, t-shirts, blouse, tunic, nice jumpers etc. Ankle boots, long boots, pumps, superga all go with them. Hope that helps.

It can be hit and miss with m&s jeggings sizing i think. I really like them but out of 4 pairs i bought (all the same size)only one fitted perfectly. In my case they were too big in the waist even at size 8 but fine in the leg or too tight in the waist. Just keep trying on until you find the right ones. I like navy, goes with everything.

I have a blue denim pair and agree I would describe them more as skinny jeans than jeggings. Size wise you do need to try. Mine are an 8 but I then ordered a black pair that were too big even in the 6.

I have denim, navy, white, bright blue. They are awesome and cheap as chips! Mum also gets discount. Wash well and haven't stretched.

I bought sized 14 with my new chunky arse and legs post birth.
Long as well.

You really need to go and try them, the regular length looked ridiculous!!

Can someone link to them pls?

MadameBabawic · 19/02/2013 19:53

Thanks so much for all this info. I shall order a couple of pairs (not in uk so can't just pop in and try on!) and see the difference between a 12 /14. Hadn't heard of the Limited ones.
Really hope I won't be disapointed as have got so many clothes that aren't quite right..but i do like the colours to choose from so thats a start!!
