Holy grail of leggings

I usually wear mint velvet basic leggings; the old recipe meant they lasted for ages and I found they pulled me in around the waist and helped with the c section overhang.

I've bought 2 new pairs recently and they're shite. I am not a SB fan and don't want gym leggings, I want leggings I can wear every day with boots, trainers, canvas trainers and flip flops. Bonus points for 100% cotton but they must have a wide waistband and not make me feel like I'm going to be cut in half when I sit down - Next ponte leggings, I'm looking at you. I'm a 12-14 and Not Tall if that means anything at all.

Please help me. Nothing leather look or shiny or corduroy or gym type. I know I'm neither stylish nor beautiful but I trust in you, S&B.

Sainsbury's had some that were often raved about but I can't find them on the website though. They were the higher priced ones of the basic black leggings.

If you have a TK Maxx nearby, Avalanche High Waisted leggings are a game changer.

Lululemon align. I get the extra long version and OMG, amazing. So soft.

Amazon Sinophant high waisted leggings are amazingly good. And £10. So comfortable, don’t cut you in half and wash perfectly.

Thanks all! I think I have the Amazon leggings but they are too soft; I need something that both sucks me in but also enables me to sit down Smile
