well, I swore I would never wear them, but I had to buy a pair of leggings..

[Unicornvomit]

and they are too farking long

and i need a pair for friday

help me!!

and do i wear them with flats or wedges?

got black leggings and a black knee length dress.. black jewelled flats or black wedges??

anyone? not even to judgeth me?

do you thikn matalan/dotty p/ next would have black leggings in stock?

Yes I think Next will. Poss Dotty. No clue re matalan.

I'd go for wedges every time, as IMO leggings and flats make your legs look like black golf clubs.

(and a little too - I have some but I only wear them around teh house *disclaimer)

ah, thank you mamag!!

Peacocks have them - twin packs - they were too short for giraffe like DD1 so they might be OK!

M&S have some nice 3/4 length ones in Autograph that would work with wedges

oh but steer clear of calf length if you are remotely cankle-like in the leg department.

Top Shop and Next both have full length leggings in store.

I think flats are fine - wear whichever shoes you feel most comfortable in as you may well be self-conscious wearing leggings for the first time.

Uniqlo have great leggings in loads of funky colours (as well as black).

I'd go for the wedges.

I bought some from Oasis last week, they are good lengthwise on me but I am 5'9" so it depends how tall you are!

thank you all very much !!

i am 5 ft 2, which i think is why the ones i got were so long on me!! have stumpy wee legs

on the cankle department, i am actually fine ! have quite decent ankles and calves. it is what happens above the knee that is the problem !

I got a very nice pair of black leggings from Asda

Just turn them up inside at the bottom..i am your height thats what I do tis fine..wear flats!

thank you, will check asda too

contemplated turning them up but worried they would fall down or look odd!

matalan have an assortment of different leggings even in a size 24 which is planely just wrong IMO

nah just tuck the extra inside

hmm. am not a slim young thing, electra.

but i do have Decent Legs and a dress that covers a multitude of sins.

so off to matalan we go !

i won;t be buying wet look leggins though, that much i can assure you

Wedges, Asda's leggings are mid calf (sp) on me (5'5"). They are £5 and really good, keep their shape brillantly.

thakn you.

i am sure i will be able to get sorted with a pair by friday now

much appreciated all xxxxx

I just cut mine to size

good old matalan came up trumps!! £5 and they are the right length.. brill! all sorted now. thanks again everyone x

where did you get the ones that are too long? i want leggins that go past my ankle and can only find shorter ones - typical

simplybe.co.uk

also, in matalan today they had the ski pant type... so they would cover your ankle

also dorothy perkins online had longer length ones
