Leggings- best at the moment

[Tortadellanonna]

I know the style mavens won’t approve, but leggings are a staple in my wardrobe and several of my pairs are going in the bum. Which shops have had good quality leggings that you have bought recently? I like navy or other dark colours - not black.

Hush are good but not cheap

Primark have some nice ones at the moment, they don’t go sheer at the stretchy point and come with a gusset so no central seam in a delicate spot, so knickers optional.

Well the Sainsbury’s TU velvet touch ones (£10 a pair) have been my absolute holy grail for the last couple of years but I bought a pair the other day and I am sure they have changed the fabric and they are no way near as good 😣

Decent black leggings are like the holy grail. I'm beginning to think they no longer exist. I used to get them in Warehouse but they don't seem to sell them anymore. Next have changed their design and theirs are now awful. Have tried M&S and H&M, no good. I've heard Sainsbury's luxury leggings are ok so will try them next.

Mint velvet, last for ages and it's 20% off this weekend...

Pigsinarow posts crossed. 🙄 So that's Sainsburys out as well.

The Boden ones are good. They last a long time.

What's the sizing like at MV ( I'm going to be near a shop today so I may well be reeled in .......... )

Boden are excellent. Full length and three quarter length.

Mint Velvet

I wear a size xl and am a size 20

I wear a large and I'm a 14-16. Hope that helps!

I've heard good things about Mint Velvet leggings. Are they ridiculously expensive?

Uniqlo legging trousers are fab

A little known brand- TLC Sport. Honestly the best leggings I've ever tried by a mile, 100% opaque and last for years. They feel a bit like shapewear, hold everything in nicely which I like. They only come in black though, and the sizes do come up small.

Mint velvet are the best I've ever found and have saved me money in the long run as they last much longer than cheaper ones. They're not ridiculously expensive (around £20, maybe slightly under from memory). I'm a size 8-10 and small fits me perfectly.

I find the MV ones too thick and bulky to wear under dresses. I like Boden or Oasis.

Someone on here recommended the Sainsbury’s luxury ones and they are pretty good. Much better than the M&S ones which are now so thin you can read a book through them.
