Leggings ARRRRRGGHHHH!

I - at 5 foot!- like M & S size 12 Short. Although only for yoga; I just don't seem to be tall enough to carry them off with dresses or tunics.

If you want sturdy leggings.. Bon marche...( yes.. I know.. not always good)... but they do ponte treggings for £18. This might sound expensive but they wash and wash and I've had mine for ages.. no bagginess and the fabric is thick. Really worth the money.

hildajenniJ those leggings look great, can't think why I have never heard of them before. I too have some good ones from Sainsbury's. I also have a thinner M@S pair which fit well and are good under summer tunics. But the tunic has to be long as they do show the flab! I am always amused that adverts for leggings (including the photo with the article on here yesterday) show them worn with high heels. Worst fashion faux pas imaginable to my mind.

My problem is that I cant seem to work out what footwear to wear with leggings/jeggings that don't look ridiculous (though I usually think other folk look okay). I can only wear flat comfy shoes, boots or sandals due to foot problems. I am 5'6" tall and wear a size 6 or 7 shoe. Any hints?

Sainsbury's Tu luxury leggings get my vote.

All great recommendations, however at a tiddly 5ft, I find it difficult to find suitable length leggings. The 3/4 length from Next sound promising for a full length (on me) option - unless anyone else has managed to solve this problem.

I've had good ones from H & M ☺

Also like to say that not only are Sainsburys good for leggings I buy a lot of my other clothes there too. Their stuff is well made, my kind of style and very reasonable.

Another M and S fan here as I am tall and they do long length. Also love their treggings which are thicker and warmer for winter.

Another recommendation for Sainsburys

I too get mine from Sainsburys and M and S.

Oops, sorry. I don't know what went around with that link.

Let's try again. www.amazon.co.uk/Clothing-Cuddl-Duds/s?ie=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=Cuddl%20Duds&page=1&rh=n%3A83450031&tag=gransnetforum-21

Have never fancied wearing leggings, but most of the world seems to! ?

I bought two pairs of Cudl Duds leggings, one black and one navy, to wear with my dresses and tunics. They are warm and soft, fit well, and wash really well.
is the link to the Amazon site.
I bought the fleece wear leggings and love them.

I got some really nice ones from Matalan today not thin fit nice no wrinkles or bag Ines

Mine are a mix of Asda and M & S.
M & S probably have the edge

I get mind from next . They do 3\4 length and full length.
Good quality and wash and wear well with no bobbling .

One of my clients has a really nice pair, they were from M&S

Are we talking footless ones or those like thick tights?
I found a two pairs of black footless ones in Peacock for about £10 but also wanted some navy and bought one pair for £6 - they are just so much better - quality and more comfortable - amazing really - you would not think they were from the same store but of course may not have been same manufacturer. I have found Sainsbury ones to be good too - I mainly buy footless ones and I don't think they tend to have the wrinkling issues as some others do.

Yes, I've just bought some black ones from Sainsbury's, they're good quality and inexpensive.

I've found the Sainsbury's ones good quality as well.

I buy mine in different colours in Sainsbury, they last ages are nice and think and not see through and they do wash well .

M & S ones are very good fit well, wash well and are a good price but I would also add that my nail lady swears by Sainsburys ones.
