Black leggings that actually stay black

[Littleguggi]

Okay maybe not the height of style or fashion, but I love black leggings this time of year with a chunky knit and boots.

I realised my black leggings from last year are looking grey. Can anyone recommend some decent ones that suit a petite 5ft size 8-10, and that don't fade in the wash?

No athletic ones please!

I've brought high end down to supermarket ones in the past but not sure where to look now?

I buy a specific dark wash detergent from Waitrose but sure other supermarkets do it too, my work uniform is black and I wash everything inside out . Nothing is faded!

I buy the 'buttery soft' ones recommended here from Amazon. Good for winter and nice and stretchy but also heavy on the polyester so rubbish for summer.
Ive never had them fade though (or anything really!)...how are you washing things?

I just wash with dark load at 40 with non-bio washing powder and then hang to dry, maybe tumble dryer on the odd occasion. Could you share the amazon link please?

I'm wearing the M & S Heatgen plus fleece ones in black, been washed several times on a normal 40 cycle with ordinary powder & still look like new.

I wear the £3 Primark ones. Never had them fade. I've had my current ones for around a year - still stretchy, still black. Unfortunately they now have a bloody great hole in them because the dog stuck her claw through them yesterday morning, but at least they won't cost much to replace.
