Leather leggings

Looking at investing in a pair of leggings. I am size 12 pear shape. Any suggestions? Have heard good things about Hush and Baujken.

I wouldn't "invest" in leather leggings. It's a very dated thing now. Buy a cheap leather-look one and have fun with it for a season. If you are into leather, maybe leather trousers would be better.

I genuinely think all women should wear what makes them happy.

But damn, leather leggings rarely look good.

Mint velvet

Hi, I got some from Zara that were lovely. Just pleather ones. Or these ones are super comfy (they are thin though so I wouldn’t wear them without something covering my bum

The Spanx ones are good , but leather look not leather. Not sure if you want actual leather.

I think mine look good, 😂 I wear with a pair of white trainers and a long top.

I second the PP who said save your money. They are beginning to look a bit dated. I went through trying loads of different pairs but they all made my legs look like badly made sausages.

If you’re minted I’d buy a pair, otherwise fake it for a season.

They were a fashion lesson for me a couple of years ago - marketed as a classic ergo I should spend money on them but they didn’t suit me and now they can look dated, not classic.

I love the coated black 'jeans'. I don't really wear leggings but the skinny jeans are basically just leggings with zips and pockets. I have some from river island and next - both lovely dressed up or down

I second mint velvet. Leather effect not leather. £25. I wear them all the time!

Agree - buy pleather. I wear them with Nike hi-tops and oversized shirt or sweatshirt. I do not wish to emulate Towie! Dresses down and I buy a size too big so they’re not skin tight. I like them to be wrinkled above the trainers.

Been wearing them since 2014.

Baujken ones are lovely and better quality than Hush. I've navy and black and they've lasted years and I get nothing but compliments when I wear them. They look great dressed up or with trainers and a big chunky sweater.
