Faux leather trousers/jeggings

Where can I get decent faux leather leggings? Tried a few from
M&S and love leggings last year but were no good. They need to be of decent quality they hide the cellulite on the backs of my legs. Any ideas of what brand could be any good? Not that fussed re cost, it's the flattering aspect I'm looking for. I'm a size 12 and 5'4.

Hopeful bump as I'm also looking!

Spanx are the best IMO

Beachlovingirl · 23/12/2022 20:58

Mine are all saints and I have worn them so much over the years. I bought them in the sale as they are pricey but have kept their shape really well and are very flattering around the tummy area and the bum area.

Here

Thanks all, just realised I tried the Spanx ones too but didn't suit me. I'll check out the all saints link and maybe they'll be on sale. :)

I have spanx, allsaints, real leather from Hish, real leather from Whistles. The best are the hush leather ones. The best faux leather are the Spanx.

@Beachlovingirl I’ve just ordered the All Saints ones, thank you!

ffsagain123 · 25/12/2022 14:28

@WingBingo @Beachlovingirl I've just ordered the all saints ones too so fingers crossed.

I have a pair from Peacocks. £20 and they ate like a glove! Jeans style but absolutely stretchy and warm. Fleece lined. Im in them today

ffsagain123 · 29/12/2022 16:23

So the All Saints pair arrived, the fit is great but the material does nothing for the back of my legs so they'll be sent back. Back to the drawing board or maybe I need to invest in really leather.

Holland and Cooper jodphur ones look nice - but pricey

Beachlovingirl · 29/12/2022 17:35

@ffsagain123 sorry to hear the all saints ones weren’t good.

that’s not a bad idea to try real leather leggings. I have some from hush that I bought in the sale. They aren’t as fitted to the leg after a few wears (knees and bum go a bit baggy) but I bet there are some really good ones out there!

WingBingo · 29/12/2022 20:18

My All Saints ones arrived today and they fit me well

I much prefer the lack of zips and belt loops.

ffsagain123 · 29/12/2022 21:19

@WingBingo glad someone's purchase was successful :) @Beachlovingirl yep I might look into hush etc.

I love my Commando ones.

Newlifenewme · 29/12/2022 22:05

watching with interest. I almost bought some from Boden but the reviews were terrible 😞

Beachlovingirl · 03/01/2023 20:44

Just putting it out there but primark had some for £7 and I wish I’d had time to try them on as that could have been a bargain (they were not fleecy inside though like the all saints ones so they would be freezing to wear in winter and sweaty in summer…) but still £7!!!

givememarmite · 03/01/2023 20:56

I have some from Calzedonia and I love them, they are fleece lined so perfect in winter, really flattering and not expensive.

Alternative to m and s leather look leggings http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/styleandd_beauty/4699948-alternative-to-m-and-s-leather-look-leggings

Beachlovingirl · 03/01/2023 21:23

@givememarmite to be fair those look good and if they were higher waisted I would order some right away to sit alongside my all saints ones as they are very similar in style (I need the high waist though!)

givememarmite · 03/01/2023 21:38

@Beachlovingirl they come up just above my belly button, so quite high but not a proper high waist I guess!

FurAndFeathers · 03/01/2023 21:47

I got some great ones from M and Co

yes I was surprised too 😁
