Warm joggers

Anyone found wide leg fleece joggers that don't go bobbly after a few wears. I've tried a couple of brands and they both did it. Don't mind paying a bit more.

Mine are a cuff leg, but I wear them inside boots so that doesn't show.
They're from George at Asda and are many years old. I have three pairs and live in them all winter so they've had a lot of wear. No bobbles at all and still look smart.
They probably do a wide-leg version, worth a look?

I get mine from Damart, soft, lovely and warm and they don't grow bobbles.

Bam do some nice ones and they wear well but more expensive …

I've stopped buying joggers for wearing indoors in the winter - I've taken to buying the new velvety 'lounge wear' trousers that are sold in the supermarkets.
They're heavier weight, super comfy, wide legged with pockets and draw cord / elastic waistband.
They often have zipped tops, sweatshirts or hoodies to match.
I bought a couple of pairs from Tesco last October and have worn them constantly during the winter months whilst indoors and they've washed really well with no bobbling, shrinkage or colour bleeds.
On really cold days, I've worn thick opaque tights under my 'lounge wear' and have been toasty warm.

PestyOne you're describing my new winter pyjamas, though mine were from Amazon 😂

PestyOne, I have done exactly the same thing this year. I have bought 3 velvet loungewear suits, 2 from Matalan and one in the sale at La Redoute. They are warm and comfortable and look smart if someone calls round, they have all washed really well.

We're a load of loungers 🤣.
I really do like my velvety lounge wear, and it's kept me warm all winter, but I wouldn't wear it anywhere other than in my home.
I like to be 'dressed' when I go out of the house for shopping, popping to the post office, etc.
I don't feel like I'm wearing pyjamas all day and I now prefer them to jogging bottoms.
