I'm looking for some good quality cotton navy leggings, please, where can I get some?
My last pair were from M&S last summer but developed holes quite quickly and bagged around the knees and are only fit for the garden now.
I've see Asda mentioned and I did see some but did not order and days later, nothing to be seen!

I got done nice thick ones in BHS of all places and they have really lasted.

I bought some of the Modal leggings from Adsa, with a wider waistband.
After one wear, one wash, the waistband elastic twisted . I couldn't straighten it without cutting open the waistband (and I'd have had to stitch it in place which I CBA doing).

I bought some navy ones from Sainsburys that are nice.

Matalan?

CherylTrole · 03/06/2013 09:09

I got a pair last year in Tesco but havent worn them yet!

RenterNomad · 03/06/2013 09:13

Next have some nice ones. Very plain.

vodkaplease · 03/06/2013 09:36

Sainsburys sell them, but can't vouch for the quality.

Sonotkylie · 03/06/2013 11:16

Boden or Sainsburys - both good coverage, don't go baggy and last for a sensible amount of time ( my Sainsbos ones have lasted over a year, Boden ones longer). Price and convenience decide it for me.

Startail · 03/06/2013 11:21

I've got some black BHS ones that have lasted years. Don't know if they are still as good.

My navy great plain's ones feel gorgeous, but they are thin and fall down (not cut for my ample arse)

Quenelle · 03/06/2013 14:55

I'm wearing a pair from New Look. They haven't bagged at all, even over my rather pointy knees.

SarahGoodwin33 · 03/06/2013 15:36

I got some white stuff leggings in March and feel lovely, really opaque without feeling it and keep shape. Not sure if they still have them but worth a look.

SecretLimonadeDrinker · 03/06/2013 17:29

I've had my Oasis ones for a few years now and they still look new.

KrazyKurls · 03/06/2013 17:31

I have a Fat Face pair they wash well and I have just bought them in black

Sorry to hijack but just wondered if anyone knew of any good navy maternity leggings? Boden are out of stock. I ordered some from New Look and they were DISGUSTING - seam free, which I thought sounded good, but they were made out of some weird man-made fabric which just made me feel revoltingly sweaty and unhygienic.

Based on responses so far I am thinking of buying regular leggings in a size bigger and going to Sainsburys or BHS so that I don't have to spend too much money...

EarlGreyTeabag · 03/06/2013 17:41

I recommend Boden as well.

Sainsbury's

Thanks for the ideas, I just bought some american apparel ones from amazon for less then a tenner (hope not fake) Fingers crossed, will report back!

lisbapalea I found NEXT to be fab, very comfy.

Sorry for the hijack but just wondering if any of the leggings mentioned are very dark navy? I need a cropped pair but the ones I bought are too light coloured for my dress.

Thanks

juneybean · 05/06/2013 20:35

Sainsbury's are fairly dark, definitely avoid Matalan though, theirs are a weird navy.

cerealqueen · 14/06/2013 14:11

The Amazon American Apparrel ones are nice, but £25 nice (price on the website). They have the correct labels, but given the price, just wondering if they are fake?

I bought some Olay stuff on Amazon which was so cheap, and so rubbish, I wonder if that was fake also.

Anyway I bought Large, I am a 12 verging on 14 but they are a bit baggy at knee. I have sent them back to get a Medium.
