Where can I get patterned leggings/trousers

I realise they probably aren’t stylish but nonetheless - where can I buy brightly patterned leggings that aren’t see through or shiny?! I’ve a set of cool comic book ones from pilot but they’re really thin :(

There are some on Amazon, don't know about the quality though. Next clearance sometimes have brightly coloured/patterned trousers

Primark recently had a load of patterned skinny trousers in. I quite liked them, I got a couple of pairs for about £10 each and they have lasted ok up until now. Not sure if they are still on sale though, this was a month or so ago.

Thanks for the links - I’ve looked at a few sites with sports leggings but they’re that weird shiny stuff and I’d rather they were matt.
Unfortunately primark is a no go - our nearest is 1.5 hours away and I never get to go shopping!

Seasalt had some I think (patterned leggings). They'll be good quality I would think.

I have several pairs from Johnnie B (tweens/teens section of Boden) Blush

2 flowery ones from a couple of years ago and these with the stars and moons pattern.

I love them Grin

Tk maxx had patterned trousers last year

I’ve bought loads from lotus leggings - pretty much always have a bogof going on,

Monsoon usually have some boho patterned trousers.

MinnieMinchkin · 20/11/2017 11:31

Not all patterned sports leggings are shiny, although most are. I'd recommend a rummage in TK Maxx or supermarkets.

I get mine from Black Milk but you have to order from Australia. They have a matt range as well as the shiny stuff. Expensive but great fit and quality.

Lumbagokid · 20/11/2017 14:09

Gudrun Sjoden have brightly patterned leggings/tights. Never ordered them so not sure of quality but have bought trousers and they were well made.

NinonDeLenclos · 20/11/2017 14:48

Pamela Mann do funky bright leggings.

sparechange · 20/11/2017 17:44

Sports Direct do some by Gold Digga

They are super soft and not shiny

twolittleboysonetiredmum · 20/11/2017 21:13

Ooh thank you! Lots of great sites - I need to get shopping :)

Oh the black milk ones are amazing! So pricey

You need to look at some of the small businesses making handmade ones!

Crease Free Clothes do THE most amazing leggings. Good quality cotton lycra in amazing patterns and the fit is a dream.

Whoever suggested Boden - brilliant! I have just received a lovely thick pair of 15-16yr old kingfisher blue leggings with birds on for £13 :) and they fit perfectly and are so comfy. Yes! And am also bidding on Black Milk leggings on eBay.

That was me, glad you like them! I have quite a few bits from there, currently wearing a pointelle top (really recommend these, they're unbelievably soft and warm) and a wool jumper from the teen boys' range Blush

SesameSparkle · 25/11/2017 14:47

What dress size are you normally if you can get into age 15 to 16 leggings?

twolittleboysonetiredmum · 25/11/2017 15:46

I’m a 10-12 and about 5 foot 2. Not skinny by a long way and I reckon I could get in them if a bit bigger. Length wise they’ve an inch or two more than my legs as well. Do it! Best purchase I’ve made recently - and I had a 10 voucher from Boden too so got them for 4 :) if you look at sizing guide that’ll give you measurements. It did say 28 inch waist for these but I am definitely a 29/30 and they’re fine
