Next Lift Slim and Shape. My are still very black after months of washing.

River island molly jeggings.

Topshop Leigh. My black ones have stayed black.

Shmithecat2 · 03/07/2020 17:41

@reducingfootprint sizing is spot on. They're super stretchy, so if you're between sizes, go low.

reducingfootprint · 03/07/2020 17:44

@PhoneLock really! i heard they go grey easily

@Shmithecat2 amazing, thanks!

No recommendations for jeans, but if you have some you love and they’re faded, try Dylon to dye them black again. It doesn’t last forever but you can redo it when they fade again. Great way to reinvigorate jeans your love (I have some real favourites and hate buying new jeans!) The dark denim colour is also good for dark blue jeans.

Mine haven't and they are a couple of years old now. BUT, I don't wear them every day or even every week, so they probably haven't needed to be washed that often.

The last Leigh ones I bought were utter shite.
Don’t even last a few hours before going baggy at the knee. So @reducingfootprint, I too am on on the hunt for the prefect pair!

PhoneLock · 03/07/2020 20:03

I pretty much lived in Leigh jeans over the winter in various colours. None have baggy knees.

Or arse. Grin

I have topshop black joni jeans and love them! Very skinny and very comfy!

MissMarplesHandbag · 04/07/2020 01:00

@PhoneLock my old ones were marvellous. Had loads of pairs. But the recent ones I’ve bought have been crap quality. Shame, as they were my go to.

PhoneLock · 04/07/2020 08:50

Ah, that could be it. I haven't bought any recently and have loads of pairs so none have been worn to death. That's a pity

TeddyIsaHe · 04/07/2020 08:51

Topshop Jamie jeans. I’ve had a pair of black ones for 4 years and they haven’t bagged, sagged or lost any colour at all. Plus they’re a nice thick denim, so hold their shape well after countless washes.

Littlebendytoe · 04/07/2020 10:53

I'm loving the next structure leggings at the moment. I like faded, so dont have the black black ones, but the fit is perfect. I have the 360 jeans too from Next and they haven't faded at all in the black.

Littlebendytoe · 04/07/2020 10:53

Jeggings that should say

torquewench · 04/07/2020 11:06

Spanx Jeanish Ankle leggings. Ive a blue and a black pair.

I also always wash my dark denims on a 40 degree wash with Woolite Dark and it helps the colour last longer, Ive had mine around a year and they still look unfaded.

MissMarplesHandbag · 04/07/2020 17:00

@reducingfootprint - someone recommended Primark jeans - super stretch skinny and body sculpt skinny. Today I found
the body sculpt skinny in my size, £13 too. So they are definitely worth a try at that price. I bought two pairs!
