Loungewear/yoga pants that 'hold you in' on top but nice and loose in the leg?

I'm trying to find a lovely comfy pair of joggers/lounge pants/ yoga pants that are a bit more fitted round the waist and hips but still relaxed in the leg. I'm an apple and look a total shocker in most joggers as my tummy and hips look like a sack of spuds. Draw-strings add to the bulk as do fold-over waist bands. Any ideas?

I wear my Hush harems for yoga. I like them because I can tuck my T-shirt in and so it doesn't constantly fall over my head and ride up when I'm in downward dog Grin

Although the waist band does fold over I don't find it too bulky.
Have you thought about wearing a light summer jumpsuit? One of the women in my class wears one and it seems very practical.

Sainsburys sell some lovely black lounge pants with a foldover waist and straight leg, I have several pairs and I wear them all the time. They're so comfy I would quite happily never wear any other trousers.

Thanks, will check out Hush and Sainsburys.

Have a look at Asquith. I have a couple of their bamboo jumpsuits, which I love, but I imagine they will also do separates.

Sunshine do you have a link for the Sainsbury’s trousers pls? I can't find them.

JoinTheMicrodots · 06/09/2020 18:50

I've just gone looking for the Sainsbury's trousers, too, and can't find them.

Sunshineanddogwalks · 06/09/2020 19:02

Here we go. Had to search by product code. Which meant I had to go find my glasses so I could read the label! Grin

Those sainsburys joggers are great. I wear them for work as part of a uniform. Last really well too!

Saint + Sofia runway pants, great structure to the waist with wider legs. Comfy but also quite smart.

Thank you @Sunshineanddogwalks!

White Company do the rollover top yoga pants and they are brilliant quality.
My Hush harems are comfy but don’t hold
me in at all

ButterFox · 07/09/2020 21:49

@BangingOn I'm interested in those - what's the material like? It looked a bit polyester-y

mayormaynot · 07/09/2020 21:56

These are so flattering, soft and comfortable. I have three pairs.

@ButterFox not at all, they are a thick jersey fabric and feel fab on. I have two pairs and have worn the, constantly for the past six months.

FrancesFlute · 07/09/2020 23:02

I got the Sainsburys ones linked above in a few sizes up to wear postpartum. They were brilliant. I rolled the band up over my tummy as it deflated. Came home from hospital in them. So comfy. Quite a thick jersey IIRC!

albicocca · 08/09/2020 06:52

@Sunshineanddogwalks. How is the sizing on the sainsbury's ones? Sold out in 12. Might get away with a 10....

Interesting about WC yoga pants vs Hush. Any chance you could link @Oly4? Cant find them.

@BangingOn. Have ordered!

@mayormaynot. They look great. So have ordered too. Eek!!

albicocca I size down in them, and they're very comfortable. Hold me in nicely! They're very forgiving.

albicocca · 08/09/2020 07:38

@sunshineanddogwalks. Thank you. Sold!

I wish some of these trousers had pockets - I'd never buy anything else!

albicocca · 08/09/2020 22:55

@Oly4 thank you.

@BangingOn I'm interested in those Saint and Sofia pants, do the knees stick out in them though after wearing or do they hold well like trousers??
Thank you for starting this thread OP. These are my kind of trousers. I don't really ever wear jeans so I struggle with finding what to wear😊

BangingOn · 09/09/2020 08:41

@Mrsmophead mine have held really well, like comfy trousers with pockets.
