Nothing special. Just regular old pants and socks. Ones that last ok if tumbled. I'm fed up of continually buying

M&S. I usually stock up when they have a good Sparks offer.

Watchthedoormat · 02/06/2023 11:23

Next.
I buy them in the regular sales they have.
I only wear trainer socks and I absolutely love them.
Pants are great too.
Personally I couldn't afford to buy them unless on sale though.

Hazelnuttella · 02/06/2023 11:24

John Lewis pants. I used to get M&S but the quality has definitely got worse.

Also I wash them at 30 so they don’t shrink

Newestname002 · 02/06/2023 11:25

Mainly:

M&S
Waitrose
Amazon sometimes

Turquoisa80 · 02/06/2023 11:30

Primark for socks, Asda for underwear

BHRK · 02/06/2023 11:37

M&S knickers
Hobbs socks - pricey but lovely

avocadotofu · 02/06/2023 11:39

John Lewis

Sloggi knickers are fab. I don't buy cotton socks. Got fed up with the constant holing, buy wool socks now.

Summertimesunshineandfizz · 02/06/2023 12:38

Pants from Sainsbury, socks from Seasalt (I stock up in the sale)

CatsOnTheChair · 02/06/2023 12:45

M&S pants
BAM socks in the sale.

Pigtailsandall · 02/06/2023 12:50

Following with interest; I asked about socks recently too. I got some Pringles ones in TK Maxx last autumn after they were recommended here and they've been great. Not something I would have thought of on my own.
M&S are awful, and developed to holes within about 10-15 wears.

Pants I have no idea anymore - I got some great ones from JL few years back but I don't think they do those ones anymore.

I absolutely swear by sloggi. I like their "boy shorts" and get them off amazon.
They last and last.

I havent worn socks since covid, properly taken against them.

INeedAnotherName · 02/06/2023 14:27

I'm looking for plain black socks too. Not interested in coloured toes/heels or a picture of an alien embroidered on it. Just plain black.

Asda - too much give at top so keep falling down. I look like Nora Batty
Tesco - got a hole in toe after second wear, toenail was short 😯

Knickers- Superdry bikinis.
Socks- Primark.

StarlightLady · 02/06/2023 14:35

Socks, here there and everywhere, possibly M&S predominantly, but it depends where I am when I decide I need a "re-stock". I'm seemingly plagued by a one legged woman who sneaks in my house in the middle of the night and steals odd socks 😂

Knickers, I buy 2 pairs of matching knickers when ever I buy a new bra and supplement them largely with M&S Brazilians. I can't handle anything thick or bulky like the majority produced by the likes of Slogggi etc. I like gossamer fabrics and a touch of soft lace.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 02/06/2023 14:37

Pants:

"Wirarpa" on Amazon or Mardy Bum Boutique on Facebook. They were both MN recommendations.

whirlyhead · 02/06/2023 14:38

Pants - Boody (mumsnet recommendation and they're ace)
Sloggis are also good.
Did use to buy Stripe & Stare but ditched them for Boody.

Socks - anywhere. Don't care. Sweaty Betty mostly.

Quinque · 02/06/2023 14:43

Pants: M&S
Socks: Seasalt, usually in the sales. I never tumble dry socks, though, they last much longer and don't shrink if they're air dried.

leccybill · 02/06/2023 14:45

Sock Shop do lovely bamboo knickers from their range called Lazy Panda.

Framboisery · 02/06/2023 14:59

Pants m and s.
Socks , rarely buy as they seem to last forever but, accessorize, fatface, sweaty Betty, tkmaxx.

familyissues12345 · 02/06/2023 15:40

Pant - M&S. I like the high leg ones with a bit of lace.

Socks - Primark. I like the "quarter" socks - not trainer socks, nor ankle socks. They sit in the middle. My feet are too big for ladies trainer socks normally, and ankle ones annoy me!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 02/06/2023 15:49

Socks - Finesterre wool stripy ones in winter, and secret sock things in summer for trainers, I think my current lot are Next

Pants - always black, and like most of this thread M&S mainly, but I recently got five pairs of the Chantelle knickers and really like them. I have various black bras/bralettes so everything goes-ish.
