Who does good basic leggings that don't cost loads?

[shouldaknownbetter]

.. I used to get the m and s wide waistband ones at a tenner and if ever the phrase 'if it aint broke don't fix it' applied it is here.

They have replaced their basic ones with horrible short ones that aren't the same.

Who does decent black leggings these days? I'm a size 12-14, big tummy but ok legs, since having my kids I live in leggings and dresses or tunics so need to find a new supplier as they are the basis of half my wardrobe!

Don't really want to pay more than £10-£12 a pair.

I would check out the supermarkets - Tesco F&F or Sainsburys Tu

I bought the Sainsbury's TU ones after reading lots of recommendations on here but thought they faded quickly and the inner seams ripped (quite common for me as my legs chaif). I wouldn't rush to buy them again.

Mint Velvet ones (bought after recommendations on here) are great. Really wide comfy waist band. Slightly over your budget at £15, but House of Fraser often have store wide discount days which would get them into your budget.

Matalan do some nice denim look leggings.

The Luxury ones from Sainsbury's- £10 a pair. Really thick, true black and perfect just on ankle length.

If you can get away with a 14 I bought some really lovely ones from Evans the other day. Think they were slightly over your budget but they are really nice. Both DP and my GP commented on them.

I got a dark grey but bet they do black as well.

Don't bother with Dorothy Perkins ones. Really poor. I usually have next ones and they are reasonable. Tescos are OK too.

For some reason I always find charcoal/dark grey are better quality than black.

Tesco ones are brilliant - thick with a wide waistband and high waisted. Not from their basics range - but their active wear range. About £10 I think

New look work well for me. Dorothy Perkins go bobbly on washing.

Tu but only the super soft ones, around £10. Avoid the two pack ones

The Sainsbury's Tu luxury ones, no others come close (and ive tried a lot)

Primark....but not the cheap see through kind these are the "slimming ones" they are lovely and thick and soft inside. About £5 a pair. They are by all the shapewear.

I would say Next. About a tenner a pair and really thick. I hate when you can see soon through the fabric.

See skin!* damn autocorrect

River island do high waisted ones.

These. Slightly more than you wanted to pay. But I wouldn't look back. Also they are not as short as they look on the model. I am 6ft and they sit on my ankles.

These are great. I’ve got about ten pairs at this point. And they’re bang on your budget. The waist band is nice and high and thick and the quality is excellent www.fiftyplus.co.uk/shop/essential-high-waisted-stretch-jersey-leggings-long/mb987/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=4700#colour:,size:

Tu 'luxury' £10, not the cheaper ones. I would never bother with anything else now.

I got some lovely high and wide waistband leggings from Morrisons of all places, very comfy and wash and wear well.

I got some nice ones from Mint Velvet after seeing them recommended on here. They were £15 and really seem good quality. Not got round to wearing them yet though.

Debenhams collection ones are about a tenner I think. They wear and wash well and are not see through

I second River Island. Wide waistband and I think I choice of lengths.

Tu have done the same as M&S - the new ones are rubbish (I have pairs 5 years old and still going strong, the new ones last 5 minutes). Mint Velvet are the best I’ve found after recommendations on here.

I also like Peacock ones but they are very tight on the waist so only good for hourglass/slim shapes. They are a good fit though and the last time I bought them the fabric was thick.

Bugger that lostpurplehoodie I've bought two pairs in the recent 25% off I've yet to wear. I'll take them back and moan if they're not as good as my previous ones

I got the tu ones - more expensive but doing their 2nd winter
