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!!!

There is a German company, called Robell, which makes nice trousers answering your description of what you want. Finding a local stockist may be difficult though. There's a shop near me that has them most years, but unless you're in Devon, that's probably not helpful.

I have Robell trousers. They look like trousers but as comfortable as leggings. You can buy them online Robell Bella Full Length Trousers | So Simply

Matalan do really nice jeggings, very soft material and Uniqlo do pull on trousers and jeans that look smart

I really like my jeggings from peacocks, I have a black and a dark grey pair. More substantial than leggings, but softer and stretchier than jeans without the tight waistband, button or zip. The cut fits me well - size 18, 5'8", and I usually wear with a tunic top or a dress.

M and S has the best range. I have these. I usually wear them for travelling or WFH. Not sure if they are too voluminous but they are incredibly comfy and need no ironing. https://www.marksandspencer.com/jersey-wide-leg-trousers-with-stretch/p/clp60506499?color=BLACK#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r7c2|prodflag_plp_ts_QPH_100

I've just ordered a pair of the Lucy and Yak Alexa - looks like they have most sizes? Will report back - worries they're going to be too long.

Sunnysidegold · 10/08/2023 10:00

Another one for the next jeggings. So comfortable. I was a bit funny about the idea of them until a friend let me try hers on and I was converted. I have about six pairs of black ones which can be smartened up with a blouse and nice shoes. They do cropped ones too.

I haven't found them to go saggy at all. They're quite a thick fabric and they wash well too.

CloudPop · 10/08/2023 11:14

Have a look at Uniqlo.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 10/08/2023 18:17

White stuff jeggings is another place to try, they have a sale on at the moment too.

Do they have pockets? The reviews suggest not, but some of the Insta pics look like they do 🤔

No they don't .

Returning to report back on the Lucy&Yak - they're not actually stretchy/jersey material although are pull on. They were too big and massively long even with turn ups so they will be going back.

Recommend sizing down and being tall!

I wanted them to be thicker jersey material. I've had the M&S ones and they're quite thin.

I second magic pants or the joggers from Niche

https://nicheonline.co.uk/product-category/joggers/

I was coming to recommend these too… love these! So comfortable and flattering too x

Misspiggy1012 · 13/08/2023 22:36

I like everything five pounds jogging bottoms. I really like temu's plain cropped top with joggers and under £15 they have really nice combat trousers made out of parachutes. They are so thin not see through and comfortable. That's my go to
M and S do the combat trousers in all shapes and sizes I love the Pettie one's they look cropped on me. Really smart.

smithsgj · 14/08/2023 00:35

Surely all trousers are “pull on”? How else can you get into them?

rileynexttime · 14/08/2023 08:02

Some trousers have a buttoned or zipped fly which should be undone before putting them on. Some have a side fastening.Trousers described as pull on do not have these openings.

Ginola2345 · 14/08/2023 10:25

For the feel/comfort of leggings you just want some stretchy slightly smarter looking trousers or jogger look trousers. Maybe try M&S, John Lewis, Next, Saint & Sofia apartment pants etc.

Or failing that some trousers with a fixed waistband at the front and elastic at the back. A bit nanna-ish but you can hide the elastic if you want comfort.

Oh OK thanks. How bizarre!

KirstenBlest · 14/08/2023 12:50

Not really bizarre, @smithsgj , trousers might be elasticated but have fasteners. A consideration if, for example, you have broken your arm or something.
Some dresses are called pull-on too.

lastminutewednesday · 14/08/2023 13:19

Halara joggers. Sort of a hybrid legging/jogger. Love them!
