Has anyone seen navy leggings?

I've looked in the obvious places: topshop, h&m, primark, etc. The only pair I can find are in zara but they are too short, I want ankle length ones to wear under dresses. Has anyone spotted a pair?

these?

there are denim style leggings in New Look

They have denimy ones with yellow stitching that look like skinny jeans from a distance in New Look. Can't decide if they're horrific or genius.
I bought some grey ones for a fiver from a cheapy shop called Apple Snow, they also had navy ones.

thanks for those suggestions, the American Apparel ones look promising, but I'd have to buy them online, and I was hoping to just go and buy some as I'm feeling a bit impatient!

Saw the denim ones in NL and they have the same ones in Bershka, I felt exactly like you puddock

None in M&S, did see a pair in Noa Noa for 35 euro about 30 pounds, but I reckon this is a bit much for leggings!

Does anyone have the AA leggings, I'm a bit worried they might be 'shiney' IYKWIM. Saw some horrific looking 'wet look' ones somewhere which nearly put me off the whole idea!

Actually, I was thinking I used to have a great pair of navy leggings which I wore with smock dresses....then I realised that was about 20 years ago

I ordered the navy and an aubergine pair from AA which arrived today. Not shiny at all but buy a size up as they seem quite small. They are really nice though and very comfortable - 97% cotton. Good length.

No matalan here sadly, thanks anyway

Gentleotter thanks for that, I think I'll go for the AA ones, normally I'm a 10, do you think I should go for med or large?

River Island has navy but they have a gold zip at the bottom.

I ordered the XL, macherie and I reckon they are a smallish 16 and as they are cotton they may shrink a little after the first few washes.
They are a really neat fit and look good on - not baggy at all.
