Slim joggers

Anyone got any good tips for where to get a pair of trousers along these lines? I'd like slim rather than really skinny, tapered with a cuff at the bottom. Ideally more 'sports luxe', or at least more like 'normal' trousers, than the actual sporty-looking kind.

I should have said also –high street and not too expensive at that! ie I can stretch to places like Whistles and Reiss etc in the sale, but not full price.

Not very helpful as the sale has just finished but Sweaty Betty Liberty Luxe sweat pants are just this. They went down to £38 in the sale and I bought 3 pairs in the black I love them so much. Perfect alternative to jeans when you want something a bit more comfortable. I wore them yesterday with a linen t-shirt, khaki jacket and white stan smith type trainers. They do them every season so maybe watch out for a discount code before the next sale as full price they are a bit much.

Oh, fab idea! They did still have some on sale, in fact (and another similar pair called Ahimsa) –have ordered. Thank you!

I have the Ahimsa ones too ( I should say SB is a sale only indulgence for me, I don't actually think they are worth full price anyway, but their discounts are fab). The ahimsa are also a slim fit, I think straighter and not tapered as the Liberty Luxe, and a different cuffed ankle but very wearable as casual trouser. Hope you like them Smile

Thank you! I agree about SB; takes the piss really, doesn't it? Especially when some of their stuff is polyester mixes.

I was just coming on the thread to suggest the liberty luxe ones from SB.

Too late as I see you've already ordered ..but I got some for my DD in Uniqlo last week. They had grey, navy, black. Reduced to £5.
She wears them round the house , too warm to wear out at the moment.

SapphireStrange · 22/07/2017 17:12

Thanks both! 70, I think I looked at Uniqlo and didn't really fancy any of them; quite probably because of the fabric seeming a bit warm for now.

Thanks to this thread, I've now just bought a pair of the Liberty Luxe joggers as well (and some yoga leggings and a vest as well). All sale.

That's the spirit, onemouse Grin

What have you done?! I just bought the Liberty Luxe and a top in the sale. Now I know why I try to avoid S&B...

SapphireStrange · 23/07/2017 16:28

If this makes you feel any better, Bus, I've not only bought the two pairs of kecks mentioned above, but also two sports bras and another pair of strides Blush. Am assuming/hoping that at least one thing won't fit me or I won't like it, so I'll have at least something to send back and recoup a bit of cash...

Just come back like anyone cares to say I LOVE the Ahimsa ones! So much so, I'm buying a pair in black too at full price Shock Blush. SO flattering, so comfortable.

Am sending back the Liberty Luxe though; I find them a weird fit – too skinny below the knee and thus quite unflattering. Like ski pants in the 80s. yes I'm old enough that I used to wear those

Thanks again everyone!

You gits.

Mrs9C · 03/08/2017 13:21

Any feedback on how you liked, by those who ordered? Made it to 'swears by' and i'd like to know before I become a sheep Grin

SapphireStrange · 04/08/2017 16:41

Have given my two cents' worth above, Mrs9C. 'Mixed', I'd say!
