Is there such a thing as a Boyfriend shaped jegging?

As per the question, really. I've got some really nice ankle boots and want to wear them with a rolled up leg. I prefer jeggings because I have enough of a tummy as it is ( size 18) and I find that zips/pockets can add extra bulk where I don't need it. I mostly wear tops that just cover the tummy area/gunt. But jeggings seem to be resolutely skinny leg still. Has anyone seen any, or got a suggestion as to where to look? Googling is bringing up some real back pages of cheap catalogue options!

No, there won’t be, as jeggings are a jean/legging hybrid so by definition they will always be skinny.

Like a cuffed jegging?

I think the only way you'll get a nice leg shape in pull on jeans is to size down in maternity jeans.

Yes- Simply Be Bella jeggings. True to size. I wear these all the time- I think the mid-blue look like jeans but they do a black and indigo version.

Really comfortable, they don't go baggy and look ace rolled up with boots.

@Ninkaninus This was my fear!
@ElizaPancakes yes, pretty much.
@PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair -I'd already had a trawl through simply be and missed these; I'll go back for another look- thank you!

I can recommend the bootcut version of these too but as a petite I needed reg length so they can be worn with boots. Very fashionable as well right now and if you cover the waist band up they look like jeans. Really flattering.

Oh it looks like i might have been wrong... Good luck, I hope you find the perfect thing!

Those SimplyBe jeggings sound perfect ! PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair - if I'm between sizes, do you think should I size up or down?

PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair · 27/09/2019 21:26

I think it depends where you carry your weight- true to size for apples I would say but maybe size down if more of a pear?

Actually I would try both sizes and return as necessary. Grin
