On the mundane matter of stylish leggings and jeans and bottoms ...

With full appreciation of all the difficulties in the world right now (more so because I’m going through it with a 3 month old and having not v good days..) - what’s the MN advice on stylish leggings and jeans and where to find them?

I’m about a size 12. Apple shaped. Bottom/hips wide, waist narrow. Wardrobe is pretty much entirely black so anything I buy would need to be black.... am after leggings and jeans which meet following criteria -

  1. Give bum a nice supportive lift
  2. Be wide enough to get hips and bum through yet nicely fitted for waist
  3. Not sag at knees and just go generally droopy
  4. Ideally have pockets
  5. Last a while
  6. Not be boyfriend type as like fitted

Am after both leggings for everyday wear and jeans. Any thoughts on where to online shop? Happy to spend some money if need be but does need to fit conditions above! I like paying some attention to how I look and lifestyle is a mix of wood walks, dog, kids and full time work in a university (academic - and no particular professional dress code!). Not sure relevant but in 30s and about 168 CM...

any ideas wise and well styled folk of Mumsnet?

I have just got 2 pairs of leggings from
'Love Leggings' after seeing an ad on Facebook
Wasn't sure what to expect but they are amazing
Arrived in 2 days, fab material and fit. Loads of colours and lengths. Definitely recommend
