Where have all the coloured leggings gone?

Hello,

I can't be doing with tights. For me it's leggings under skirts and dresses, worn with socks and comfy shoes. I know this is S&B and you may think this is not stylish and not beautiful but I am middle aged and I know what I like. This works for me.

What I don't know though is where to find any colours. I'd like blue that isn't navy, purple, green , mustard, anything but grey and black.

For fit & quality I'm happy with the Tu £10 a pair. But I would like colours. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Over £20 would be too high a price.

Amazon!

Ooo! Thank you so much for the amazon link, they are very much colours! I'm quite keen. Any tips on sizing? I'm usually a 16 on the bum.

When I'm not working, I live in them 😂

Another vote for sinophant leggings. They are so comfy and have lasted well, apart from one pair that bobbled weirdly. Loads of colours.

Keep checking as they do get cheaper 😊

I have the leopard ones too.

I cannot begin to stress how flattering they are. Honestly, I was in such a rut with my style. Everything I put on made me feel frumpy but now I wear these with a band tee and I feel so much more confident 😊

Oooh the Amazon Buttery Leggings Grin
I have the black ones , they are nice , soft , stretchy but not sloppy or baggy . They don't cut into my belly like a regular waistband does .

I really fancy the leopard ones now , I love leopard + black but I only have jumpers and a jacket .

To get to free postage I've just ordered 4 pairs so hoping the L-XL was my right size. Quite excited!

It is a fact that mumsnet knows everything.

Thank you. They look a bit above my price range but I will have a proper browse. I'm not generally cheap but this doesn't seem like a category where higher prices mean better value

That’s absolutely fair enough. For me they are worth paying extra because I like their lightweight ones made of viscose with a high percentage of elastane. I don’t like the feel of polyester leggings. I do wear them a lot though so they’ve definitely paid for themselves and indeed still look as good as new. Sometimes you can find new with tags ones on Vinted.

I'm the same. Have been wearing leggings instead of tights for years. I have some bought off Vinted in burgundy, navy etc.

GreaterCassowary · 24/02/2026 12:55

Lovall have some really nice colours.

FourChimneys · 24/02/2026 13:17

Gudrun Sjoden usually have coloured leggings. I think I saw some printed ones in their recent catalogue. Not cheap but I've never had a problem with quality.

I'd already pushed the button before seeing this comment.

In case it helps anyone else here to report back that the L-XL size fits my size 16 bum & thighs but is very snug (even for leggings). I'm keeping but could probably go one size up without them being silly big.

For the record: incredibly fast delivery.

Mine are size L/XL (dual sizing) , I'm a 14 with a menopausal belly .
If they had a M/L that would've been better .

Thanks for this tip, as I see they are cotton which is a great find.

Word of warning, the Amazon ones are mainly polyester so you may get abit sweaty.
I love them and have them in several colours/patterns but at a certain temperature I have to stop wearing mine!
