Not exactly leggings, but not trousers either, what do I need?

I'm looking for some very thick 'smart' black leggings that I could wear with boots and a nice jumper. I've seen them on people quite a lot, but I need to know the search term to find some. 'Thick leggings' isn't working!

Off to bed now but hopefully some fabulous person will have provided the answer by morning!

Jeggings

Ponte / cigarette trousers?

WeeM · 11/11/2021 23:11

I got a fab pair of these in Zara a few years back. They were a bit done and got a replacement pair from marks but they just weren’t as comfy-the elastic digs in a bit on the waist. Still decent though, that doesn’t help you with a search term though sorry!

Jeggings! Like jeans but without the bulky bit round the middle

TokyoSushi · 11/11/2021 23:15

Oh really, they're just jeggings?! They're black fairly stretchy material, not denim...

Search for Magic trousers

Marks have a few pairs in their leggings section that might fit the bill. Just seen these retro ski pants and now I want them-ideal for wearing with boots!

I got these in the denim option from Lands End recently - they’re pull on, super comfy, and not as tight as leggings or jeggings.

Jeggings are just thicker fucking leggings, seriously!

I bought these a while ago, think it's what's you're describing

chalkyc2 · 12/11/2021 06:05

Does anyone else find that jeggings tend to fall down?!? I feel like I need a belt with them and am constantly hitching them up! Doesn't happen with leggings!

TokyoSushi · 12/11/2021 08:01

Ah yes, looks like they could be ponte leggings, definitely not denim, thanks folks!

Treggings. Sainsbury's has had them in the past, I still wear them

LittleMissA · 12/11/2021 08:15

I have Tikiboo black leggings from their diamond collection for this! They specialise in active wear leggings but the diamond ones are all plain and a lovely thick material and very comfortable and flattering.

No they’re not…
Avarua · 12/11/2021 08:19

Ponte pant is the word you're looking for

ShellfishLove · 12/11/2021 08:23

River Island usually sell the type of trouser you’re describing

Oddly aggressive for a post about comfy legwear! And you're wrong, jeggings are always denim material with the elasticity around the waist and tight fit of leggings. The clue is in the name, a portmanteau of jeans and leggings....

Op is talking about thick leggings made of a material that is not denim therefore jeggings wouldn't work. I think the ponte leggings are close to what you're describing but as an alternative there are also things like these www.matalan.co.uk/product/detail/s2783079_c101/bengaline-slim-fit-ankle-grazer-trousers-black#productDetails
Basically tight trousers but made in stretchy material and with an elasticated waistband, so leggings elements.
