The best leggings.

I know some people hate them. But I like them with tunics and boots.

I'm having a lot of trouble to find the right fit though.

Asda and new look size 14 are baggy after 10 minutes. But size 12's are too tight.

Next ditto above. And the size 12 seemed very see through even giving the fact I'd poured myself into them.

I bought a pair off Very last year which are very thick and nice but again go baggy after about 30 Minutes.

My sainsbury's is tiny and only have about 3 rows of clothes so no luck there.

I did look at some in river island but it's too young a shop for me and I felt out of place so didn't even try a pair on.

Help please.

Ive never found any as good as sainsburys, can you do click and collect?

I think it's these that I wear

I find new look the best. Used to be Topshop but I haven't had a pair of theirs for ages.

Select leggings are the only ones I'll buy. Never go see through on me and don't go baggy so quickly! I bought a pair of H&M maternity leggings and they were fab so going to try their normal ones now I'm not pregnant. Smile

Thank you Flowers
Looks like it's still trial and error and different for everyone.

I bought some from next recently. They are very comfortable, thick material (not see through) and are not baggy after a few hours.

I can't find the ones I have online but I would definitely recommend them.

Cellardoor23 · 31/08/2016 13:52

They had a zip pocket pattern on the front.

I would order some into Sainsburys. I have Black Blue and grey pair. The do shrimk slightly in length but as I usually wear them with boots it doesn't matter.

I do have a few Aldi pairs..they are good if you are just wearing them as an alternative to tights..say with long boots.

You can get Saino clothing online now.

Another vote for sainsburys here! I've never had leggings like them, not see through and the perfect length. Had my current 2 pairs (one black one navy) for 18mth now and still going strong and I wear often.

Sugarandsalt · 31/08/2016 14:57

I got a great pair of thick high waisted leggings in mint velvet.

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 31/08/2016 17:59

Another vote for the Sainsburys premium.

HermiioneSnape02 · 31/08/2016 21:12

Mmmm might have to order some into my local sainsbury's. Which I didn't know you could do
thanks everyone.

I also have a tiny local Sainsburys but order lots of clothes to collect when they do the 25% off ... most of them end up being returned as it's hard to judge sizes etc, but at least I'm on first name terms with the CS desk staff now!

HermiioneSnape02 · 01/09/2016 17:17

Grin gingham. I might wait for a code then ...

Another vote for Sainsburys and definitely worth seeing if you can do click & collect. They last for ages and have a proper thick waistband. Love them Smile

H&m

Topshop. Mine last for ever and the only reason I throw them out is because they fade. And they maintain their shape
