These - I'm pleasantly surprised! I do wish they had a proper zip fly but they look like real trousers once on and they're lovely and warm too. They didn't sag or slip down after being worn for a full day either.

They're lovely aren't they? I've got the black ones, they're comfy, smart and warm - love them!

Pistachiois50pmore · 04/11/2017 10:44

I bought three pairs and I'm not going to wear anything else all winter!

Mugmugmugmug · 04/11/2017 18:54

I'm very tempted to get more! What colour are yours, Pistachio? Mine are dark grey and so lovely

Ooh I need these! What is the sizing? I wear a size 10 usually. Thanks Smile

PrivateParkin · 04/11/2017 20:59

Porkless I'm a 14 and the large fitted me with a bit to spare, so for a 10 I guess a small would be ok?

PorklessPie · 04/11/2017 21:01

Thanks Private Smile what height are you? I'm just under 5ft 3. I'm hoping they are not too long.

mercurymaze · 04/11/2017 21:02

i have some in brown (which is goldy yellow) and dark green. they're really lovely

PrivateParkin · 04/11/2017 21:04

I'm about the same height as you Porkless and they were too long! Tbh I'm so used to trousers being too long I didn't even think to mention that, sorry. I just turned them up underneath which is what I do with pretty much all my trousers Blush and they looked fine.

Trills · 04/11/2017 21:24

Are those pockets fake?

Lucked · 04/11/2017 21:33

The posters who find these a good fit how tall are you? I'm 5'10 and aware It is a Japanese company so expect them to be too short.

mercurymaze · 04/11/2017 21:37

no the pockets are real :)

All uniqlo trousers are very long at 33 inches (for jeans) the leggings are very long on me and i'm 5.6

Trills · 04/11/2017 21:50

POCKETS!

OK I am sold.

If I am a 12 at the waist/bum but with unusually chunky legs, what size do I want?

mercurymaze · 04/11/2017 22:15

Maybe the medium I am 14 and get large

Mugmugmugmug · 04/11/2017 23:37

Front and back pockets are real! I'm 5ft4 and they're a little too long. I can just about fit into a small and I'm a size 12, but hoping to lose weight. My legs aren't very chunky though, it's my waist that's the main problem

Ooh, they're fab!! One question: do tops stick to the fabric and get rucked up?

SesameSparkle · 05/11/2017 08:48

Oh they look great, I am tempted now..... Smile

Strummerville · 05/11/2017 09:08

I'm the only one who doesn't like them! The fabric looks nice and I love the colour (grey) but I find them quite stiff Sad. I wore them the other day but changed after half an hour as just didn't feel comfortable. Mind you I am quite weird about fabrics and comfort so it's probably just me! I have velvet leggings (actual leggings) from Johnnie B and much prefer them.

lawn · 09/11/2017 21:36

Snailo/anyone: I can’t see them in black?

SkeletonSkins · 09/11/2017 21:46

Are the black ones passable for work? Wondering if they look more like black leggings?

PrivateParkin · 09/11/2017 23:15

I have got the black ones, and I wear mine for work - I think they are fine but I guess it depends how smart your office is!
lawn These are the ones I have, not actually sure now if they're the "velvet" ones or not Confused

Gingefringe · 22/11/2017 18:31

I got the black but they are strangely described as 'natural' or 'neutral' or something like that. I'm waiting the arrival of the dark green.

relaxitllbeok · 22/11/2017 18:47

Datapoint: I'm a 12/14 and got Large and they're too big, going back.

Trills · 24/11/2017 12:25

I got some, the large fit me better than the medium.

They do feel like they are "proper trousers" even though they are pull-up. I think it's the thicker velvet material that makes them feel that way.

These are the ones
www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/product/women-heattech-high-rise-velvet-leggings-trousers-402688COL05SMA003000.html

I saw the others in store and they were a thinner material - still not as thin as leggings but thinner than most "real trousers" IYSWIM.

Thanks for the recommendation - I probably wouldn't have noticed them if it wasn't for this thread. :)
