Non-see-through, high waisted black workout leggings

27 replies

KnockKnockWhosThereEurope · 03/01/2018 13:18

Does anyone know where I can find a pair of these? Have just been and tried on several pairs in Sports Direct and could not find a pair that fit the bill. They were all slightly see-through in bright light and only one pair had a nice high, wide waistband that didn't roll down. Any recommendations for anywhere that might be worth checking? Thank you!

Sweaty Betty, but you’ll pay through the nose.

I second sweaty Betty but they are expensive.

Gap are v good at a reasonable price.

Marena sportswear, really good, antibacterial.

Gym shark.

I got some great Blackout ones from Gap recently. I wear them for running and they're high waisted as well.

Wtfdoicare · 03/01/2018 14:07

Here is a link to one of them Gap

TK maxx - I have a pair from there and they are very good quality and wash well.

Got mine from Nike Outlet. Not cheap but completely not see-through.

CMOTDibbler · 03/01/2018 14:11

I love these Ronhill tights - for me they have to have a drawstring to stay up. And they don't do plain black, but I recently got some leggings from Tikiboo and they have lovely high waistbands

I always wear Nike leggings in the gym. I’ve got four pairs and they aren’t see through or roll down.

YesThisIsMe · 03/01/2018 14:52

Tk MAXX will have a big range

lemonsandlimes123 · 03/01/2018 15:08

lululemon - but they're not cheap!

nobutreally · 03/01/2018 15:10

Asquith (yoga) ones are fab if you’re looking for something less gymish iykwim. Sale on at the mo too!

idontlikealdi · 03/01/2018 15:33

Next.

I can never find anything in store I in gym shark!

idontlikealdi · 03/01/2018 15:33

In stock in...

DaisyBD · 03/01/2018 15:39

lululemon are brilliant but eyewateringly expensive. i'm torn between thinking they're worth it and hating myself for spending so much on a pair of fucking yoga leggings. they're also insanely flattering (as well as comfortable and non-seethrough)

BigGreenOlives · 03/01/2018 15:41

sweaty Betty - their sale ends tonight

KeiraTwiceKnightley · 03/01/2018 15:42

Just wear black pants underneath. V few companies make leggings that are entirely squat proof (and they are pricey, and don't say squat proof over time). Black pants mean you can't see where the black leggings end and the pants begin.

Nikkynakkynoo · 03/01/2018 15:45

I have some blue ones from BAM which are nice and high waisted and thick material - would (bamboo jersey so nice and breathable) i would guess they do black too?

mareemallory · 03/01/2018 15:48

I have some good high waisted running leggings from M&S which aren't see through as far as I know though they're only 3/4 length.

MulhuddartDrive · 03/01/2018 17:30

I got some very nice running leggings in tesco.

Ididnthearanything · 03/01/2018 18:22

I also got some recently in M&S. They’re definitely not see through. They’re quite high waisted and they’ve a handy tie around the waist so they don’t fall down.

What's your budget ?

I buy compression high waisted leggings from better bodies, expensive but they LAST.. mine are in the wash every week and 3 years later still going strong. I do Crossfit so they are really put through the wringer every session

Just got myself a pair of these in grey, a lot cheaper but actually very good quality and these also did not ride down at all and are squat proof. Not washed them yet however

gluteywear.co.uk/shop/

I always pay out a lot for workout leggings..tops you can get away with cheaply but leggings... nope!

CantChoose · 03/01/2018 21:26

I've just orderd some GAP ones so thanks to whoever suggested those!
There's hardly any in stock so I might not be the only one!!
