Suggestions for nice thin cotton leggings

3 replies

I’d like to buy some new everyday (not sports) leggings in really soft tightly woven thin cotton but not high waist - I’m short-waisted so high waists sit on my ribs and are really uncomfortable.

My go-tos used to be M&S and Seasalt but both now use thicker cotton - more like thick t-shirt or Breton material - instead of thin fairly fine-weave cotton which is nice and cool in summer, and the M&S ones have high waists now. They’re just too bulky and thick for summer wear and don’t suit the look of eg a linen tunic on top.

Any suggestions for normal low waisted thin cotton summer leggings, please? Recommendations for crops, 7/8ths or full-length all welcome - classic black/navy or more modern funky colours!

It’s been really bugging me for a year or two. My leggings are holey, but as long as I can hide them above the knee, they’re fine, and nobody is any the wiser 😊 -
but they’re not going to last much longer! (I do wear other things!! but would like to have the choice!)

Uniqlo heat tech! Wouldn't wear on their own but great under things

Thank you - Uniqlo is a good shout! I’ve just had a look at their AIRism leggings as they have them for shorter women 👍 (Heattech isn’t quite what I’m looking for for summer!)

Yes appreciate heat tech not perfect for summer but they hit all of your requirements otherwise so great for winter
