Hi, does anyone have these? Im looking for a casual school run outfit. I wear flared leggings but they are very unforgiving over my bum. Are these very thick/stylish or would I look like im wearing pyjamas!

Would you mind linking them? Thanks

These ones.
They all look a bit short on the model (I know she'll be tall but for me if it's reassuring if they are a decent length on the model!) Also some reviews say they shrink as well so if you need them long or you're tall I would avoid.

They've got some nice very wide linen trousers and shirts in too... really love some of sainsbo's clothes.

Thanks @DailyMaui

I have these from H&M in brown, and so far very happy with them (had them a few weeks). They are perfect length on me (I am 5'6). Can't really comment on longevity as have only worn them a few times, washed 3 times but I think for the price the quality is ok.

look great! might pick up a pair myself too

always have a great pair of jeans though

I have these from h&m and I love them so much!! I now wear them everywhere in place of jeans. They are quite a thick material but don't have pockets which means there's no extra bulk around the middle. They are the perfect length for me - I'm 5' 9" (although not particularly long-legged) and size 12ish and buy the medium. I tried on similar looking joggers in h&m which were slightly cheaper (~£15) but the fit wasn't quite as good, length shorter and material thinner.

forgive me if someone has already posted these but I bought these recently in Australia (and they are available in the US as well -
not sure about UK)

They are a collab with Claire Waight Keller. I don’t like sweat pants in general
but these are very smart ones and have worn as alt to jeans.

Bershka have nice joggers if you can get past how they model them on the website. I like their barrel ones.

I have these and they are bloody brilliant. There are also a Uniqlo C pair that have a string at the bottom to make them into cuffed joggers.
I have both pairs and they come different lengths. I think they are £35, lots of colour options.
I wore them out to dinner when travelling recently.

HellybellyMelly · 18/03/2026 09:08

For the Uniqlo trousers - im keen to try them out but are they good with returns?

Don't see why not. I hate jeans and find them so uncomfortable. It's almost laughable that they're described often as being unacceptably informal when they're more restrictive and unpleasant feeling than many suits or other formal wear?

They are like Zara and there is a sneaky £3 return fee. I usually order a few sizes and things to make it worth my while!

WhatAreYouDoingSundayBaby · 19/03/2026 14:59

I think I have these in black but they have shrunk in the dryer so now are ankle swingers 🙈

These are good from Uniqlo as they have a sewn in seam at the front making them look a bit smarter. Thick jersey and drape well.

I have 35 inch legs and these are perfect for me. Really comfy and both smart and casual. Bought them as warm alternatives to jeans and I love them.

I took some stuff back to store and it was very easy. Never bought online from Uniqlo.

I was in Primark today and they had so many variations of wide leg/barrel leg/straight/flared/skinny trousers and joggers in all colours that I got a bit overwhelmed and took 10 pairs into the changing room to try on. I saw those soft wide leg jeans mentioned up thread and they looked very good for the price. I came away with a pair of very soft navy barrel leg-ish joggers, black silky wide leg trousers and a pair of soft denim culottes. Also every pair I tried on was long enough which was like a miracle for me. Happy days.

PlantsAndSpaniels · 20/03/2026 09:46

I have barrel leg joggers from sainsburys for this. They look nicer than normal joggers on me and I got them in a size up so theyre nice and loose and skim over my tummy.

Sorry I’ve only just come back to the thread. I think it’s these I have but I bought in store so not certain as I’m not sure what ponte fabric is, mine are thick jogger material. They come in short, reg or long and I find regular fine at 5’5

Im a tall 18, my weight is on my belly mostly

I've got a pair of these in burgundy - got one decent wear out of them, then washed them and they bobbled awfully and shortened a bit and now I don't really wear them out of the house. Wouldn't recommend to be honest!

HellybellyMelly · 20/03/2026 13:17

@potenial mine arrived today and although i hadnt worn it yet, it does look like itts just home wear/low quality, and nothing id wear out so ill be returning sadly
