Best black leggings

I have yet to find the perfect black legging and want to know what everyone else wears. Must be comfy, not see through, hold you in with a thick waistband flattering. Ones that i can wear with a hoodie out the house and not be exposed or have belly pouch exposed! Do such a pair exist x

I live in these from George of all places, they’re really thick and hold my tummy in loads direct.asda.com/george/women/leggings/black-ponte-medium-control-leggings/GEM1091817,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C33

The Sweaty Betty Power leggings are next level for sculpting, and also really comfy but they’re £88 a pair so not sure if you want to spend that much. They wash well and last years though.

Following.
I am after a pair of leggings to wear just generally. By that I mean not for sports so not sweat wicking ones. Any suggestions?

i wear starfish leggings a lot from lands end. they have lots of cotton in so arent especially sporty looking. buy in the sale, as prices are normally discounted. they last and last and last

Baleaf from Amazon. They have different thickness & warmth & coverage is perfect.

I bought these from Shein. Very comfy and flattering.

Oysho.

Primark fleecy lined ones in winter/autumn. Oddly they’re not bulky or overly hot which were my concerns. I find them comfy and flattering and not see through.

DiscoBeat · 05/09/2024 14:27

These are SO comfy, not see through, flattering and a good fit

I loved these lovall leggings so much in pregnancy I have stocked up for after birth. So many colours and lengths to choose from, thick band, enough holding power but super comfortable and wash well.

Initially I tried the non-lightweight options but they ruined in a few months so don’t get those. I was worried the lightweight would be too thin but actually they are just thick enough and warm and not see through.

Bam are a lovely fit and have worn really well. Size up as they're on the small side

ForgotThePlantsAgain · 06/09/2024 19:24

I got some lovall leggings after a recommendation on here - ordered three more pairs yesterday, they are fantastic.

Weddingexitement · 06/09/2024 19:25

Matalan leggings are the best ever

SeeSawSeen · 06/09/2024 19:28

These are my best buy ever! I may or may not have 5 pairs in black as well as in other colours. Not the cheapest, but great quality and they last for years and years. I wear the Elevate ones.

Another vote for sweaty Betty. Power for more sporty or super soft for everyday. Both have side pocket for your phone. Expensive but last years.

Yes another vote for starfish leggings, sounds like they're exactly what you want OP

The white company seems to tick your boxes.

pricey though, at £69

lovemycbf · 06/09/2024 21:15

Fat face leggings are nice and not see through

Realdeal1 · 07/09/2024 07:05

I started wearing the sports ribbed leggings from h&m after reading about them here. They never lose their elasticity and really flattering
