Do you live near Camden Market? I'm going back a bit now, but there was a stall there that sold the best leggings in the world, they were thick jersey with something silly like 20% lycra in them, high waisted, they act like control pants (and are dead flattering, just like you say, skinny jeans but thinner)!

Not hideously expensive either and in a fair few different colours. In the open-air market on the left hand side of the road as you come up from Camden tube towards the Roundhouse (if that makes sense!), before you get to the bridge. The stall is/was at the front of the market so you don't have to delve too far in!

I don't live anywhere near unfortunately, but they sound great!

Possibly American Apparel - the delightfully named faux denim? Or several others, but you'd really have to see them in the flesh to know whether they were really what you were after.

i think the techniocal term is "treggings"

omg controlfreaky - I didn't believe you, but you're right.

drinkmoretea · 17/09/2008 20:40

aah I did wonder what 'treggings' were! Just thought it was a weird name for leggings!!

Topshop have treggings. That's such an ugly word. Fugly, one might even say.

drinkmoretea · 17/09/2008 20:43

those asos ones still look like leggings though? do you think they are thicker?

just worried as I am a lumpy size 12 and really wouldn't want to wear leggings...
