Leather/leather look jeggings/leggings?

18 replies

IShouldBeSoLurky · 24/02/2020 21:44

I have a pair from Sosander and I love the idea of them but they’re not great. Fake leather bit has almost no stretch and the non-leather back just looks meh. They bag at the knees and crotch and because they don’t have a zip the waist is slightly too low and slips down. Is there a holy grail version I’ve missed?

Am 5’8, 8-10, with v long legs, high/no waist and a quite straight up and down figure.

Eek! They look like a good fit but a bit shiny!

Dorothy perkins do good coated jeans that look like leather

I swear by Asos Design fake leather leggings. I've been wearing them for years. They last well and the knees definitely don't bag. I'm 5'9 and these fit me perfectly.

Depending on how long your legs are, these from Asos Tall might work for you:

Mint velvet!

I don’t know how to do links but you sound like you have a similar build to me - I have Set ones and they’re the comfiest things ever. They’re not shiny and are really flattering.
Try google set pleather leggings and they should come up

"Am 5’8, 8-10, with v long legs, high/no waist and a quite straight up and down figure."

I almost don't want to advise you because I'm too jealous Grin but came on to recommend Next black coated jeggings, I think they do them in long.

Agree with @Squiggleness, mint velvet!!

IShouldBeSoLurky · 25/02/2020 09:07

Thank you so much everyone, lots to look at!

Another Emma trust me, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be! I can’t wear anything with a belt/waist/wrap style and 90% of what’s in fashion right now makes me look like a quarterback in drag Blush

Funny because I'm curvy and I find it difficult to find flattering clothes, I think it's all shapeless tops and dresses which would look great if you were straight up and down.

Honestly try the Spanx ones, they are popular/cult for a reason. They are £££ but totally worth it. I bought a pair a couple of weeks ago and am really impressed. Hold you in, smooth you out, not see through. I’ve tried many of them and I’d say these are the best on the market.

Hence the price tag I assume.

Bluntness100 · 25/02/2020 09:16

I’d also say my build is similar to yours, except a size bigger, even the same height, and the straight up and down,

The only thing I’d say about the Spanx ones is that you need to wear something a bit longer with them, they look better if you cover some of your arse, as they are still leggings ultimately but I have seen lots of younger women wear them with tucked in stuff.

I bought the medium and am a ten to twelve, pretty much a small ten at the moment,

Spanx Spanx Spanx
I have have 8 pairs of Spanx leggings in leather and in jeans style leggings and they are amazing they hold you in and smooth you out
They wash really well and I wouldn’t by anything else
In the leather style I have black blue bronze colours and the croc style
I get mine from luxury legs and Next
Spanx USA site also do them and they are a cheaper

BeNiceToYourSister · 26/02/2020 21:24

Mint velvet if you’re on a budget (I have these and they’re great, but haven’t tried Spanx as they’re out of my price range!)

WickedlyPetite · 26/02/2020 21:43

The Topshop ones aren't that shiny in real life, they're high waisted and fur lined - really comfortable. I bought some just before Christmas and have worn them loads, dressed up or down. They're definitely more jeggings/ trousers than leggings.

bigbadoldbag · 27/02/2020 07:59

Figleaves have a 20% offer on Spanx at the moment! Use code take20
There are a lot of fakes on eBay, beware, I was caught out 😳

MadamePewter · 27/02/2020 08:02

Spanx here too. Amazing and so comfy but don’t look it, if you see what I mean 😃

ASOS sell them too.

Off to look for croc ones now, having read this thread....

starbuckssuzie · 27/02/2020 08:08

These are the holy grail ones OP... I've got them! They are Spanx ones from ASOS & oh my do they look fab on 💖
