If I like leggings, what other pull on trousers will I like?

I find leggings v comfortable like no other trouser! But I don’t think they’re great in mid season (I need a longer top to cover my midsection etc and it doesn’t work on my body shape so well - makes me look shapeless on top). Plus I don’t love the look of them, to be honest, unless they’re sportswear.

So I’m searching for some comfortable pull on trousers that aren’t too voluminous (I’m short with slim legs).

If I like leggings, what other comfortable pull on trousers will I like? Any links would be great!!!

Are these acceptable for casual office wear?

CheerfulBunny · 06/08/2023 22:06

@MotherofGorgons Ordered! They look lovely, thanks for the tip

KirstenBlest · 06/08/2023 22:22

@coodawoodashooda , yes but check the rear view.

Twinsmummy1812 · 06/08/2023 22:24

I would say definitely yes but I like to wear a tunic top over to hide my tummy/bum

look good with brogues or trainers

Imnotmadaboutit · 06/08/2023 22:38

@Twinsmummy1812 are they ok size wise? I find M& S a bit hit miss as they can come up large in some styles.

Another vote for magic pants. So comfortable and easy to wear

Land’s End Starfish slim trousers - fabulously comfortable and come in petite length.

The starfish range at Lands end are amazing, the leggings are the best I've ever worn

I live in those 17 quid M&S trousers (the wide leg & the fitted ankle grazers) they wash well, look tidy for work and are comfortable
I’ve got a few pairs of each (in various colours) and wear them for work every day apart from when it’s hot (so 3 days a year!)

Perhaps slightly on the large side but really comfortable and I think they look pretty smart. Definitely give them a god, let me know what you think!

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 06/08/2023 23:06

a go!

Roman do some comfy stretch pull on trousers which are quite a tight fit similar to leggings.

beguilingeyes · 07/08/2023 09:22

As above Uniqlo are absolutely the best jeggings. They feel like velvet.

coodawoodashooda · 07/08/2023 10:09

Thank you.

And mainly natural fibres! Thanks for this tip, just what I've been looking for 👍🏻👍🏻

CanIbeRio · 07/08/2023 12:32

F & F at Tesco do amazing soft knit jeggings...so comfy. I have them in every shade of blue from stonewashed to deep navy. Sooo comfy and only £18 a pair!

Zhougzhoug · 07/08/2023 12:37

Hush Alexa or Amie harem/joggers

CallItLoneliness · 07/08/2023 14:06

Lisette L do lovely pull on trousers. I am still kicking myself about a pair I didn't buy 4 years ago.

Summerhillsquare · 08/08/2023 07:57

Gah! I love a shirred waist but mostly sold out. Woulda been great for me.

Don't all these stretchy skinny ones goes saggy at the knee quickly?

Thebelleofstmarys · 08/08/2023 12:02

The Next jeggings don't go baggy anywhere . Am really impressed by them,
