nice thick leggings

[User8721643839]

Someone must have a recommendation. I need good thickmleggings for smart casual wear

Morrisons! Thick, high waisted with a broad waistband, wash great.

I also like Love Leggings. They are good and thick, but they aren't compression leggings or anything, so don't expect them to suck you in very much. But they're mainly cotton and very comfy

Uniqlo. But I don't see how leggings are smarter than jeans.

M and S suede effect ones

Yes! I have some navy ones I bought once on my way to a yoga class as realised I'd forgotten my kit and they're my best leggings!

I highly recommend the mint velvet ones!

I tried some love leggings and hated them!
The bum wasn't big enough so the waistband kind of pulled down at the back, they faded instantly on washing but they were nice and thick.
I've had better pairs from Sainsbury's and new look via ASOS - their 2 pair packs of high waist leggings are v good

Also fabletics super power hold are amazing if you need proper engineering, or for actual sport. Have to sign up for a membership though to get the discount (which you then instantly cancel!)

i've got two pairs of leggings from Lidl of all places. They were very cheap and i had to buy quite a large size as they came up small. However, for sport they have been surprisingly good - not comfy enough for lounging and they are the nylon type

@Enough4me

M&S are pushing encouraging staff to wear gender badges and to let men in women's changing rooms, so I am boycotting them.

Yes, me too. They’ve totally lost my custom.

Gender badges. FFS.

If you need smart casual though, you don't need leggings. They are never, ever, smart.

And I know that comes up a lot of these threads, and usually someone posts a photo of a very thin, very glamorous, model in response, wearing leggings with extremely expensive accessories and says "THERE! Leggings can be smart!" But unless you are also a very thin, very glamorous, model who will be pairing the leggings with top to toe expensive items, I think the point stands...

Ah that's interesting as they fit me great and I am sadly lacking in the bum department!

Primary fur lined leggings

findingthelight....agreed. if i needed something slightly smarter yet comfy i would go for the £15 M&S jeggings and probably size up as mine have all come up smallish

mint velvet ones are great. they don't go baggy at all and stay up nicely.

I have some from boden on the basis of one of these threads previously and they're ok... the material is thick and soft, better than M&S that I have had previously but the waistband is not as thick (even though described as thick) and its elastic has already started to go a bit wibbly. They do go a bit baggy round the knees so I don't think I'd repurchase.

I've not been impressed with mint velvet jeans so I'm not sure id trust their leggings. I might try lululemon or Spanx altho as always they have mixed reviews...

I’ve had a couple of pairs from Love Leggings. They are lovely, high waisted and thick so not see through at all but they don’t last or wash well! Mine look really washed out and have shrunk

Love leggings. They do different lengths too and absolutely not see through in the slightest.

I have around 11 pairs of mint velvet leggings and they are the best! I work in a high care manufacturing environment where no pockets or personal items are allowed, but we are still required to be reasonably smart. They are just the job!

I have got some from Love Leggings and they are really good.
I have got their treggings as well which are comfy like leggings but really thick material.

My favourites are a pair I got from Tesco, they are thick with a wide waist band and are the comfiest things ever.

Sainsburies no longer stocking the luxury leggings above an 18 it seems. Their others are awful.
So I popped into Matalan. In their curve section I picked up some size 22 and omg I'm impressed. Thought they were thin in the packet (£8 very cheap) but in they are perfect! Hoping they wash ok........ they are big if anything size wise

Love Leggings are awful. Morrisons are amazing!

Which Morrisons ones?

I think they were the soft touch ones. They have a really wide waistband.
