Hi looking for soft leggings for a large lady or some sort of comfy trousers or joggers

Does anyone know of a decent brand of seamless leggings please?
Not the "tummy control" type. Just regular ones.

NotSpaghetti Mon 18-Nov-24 09:39:22

... not the fabulous Wolford ones as they are out of my price range (sadly)!

With tunic tops or longline jumpers leggings look fine.
What an unhelpful, spiteful, nasty comment to make !

George Asda size 24/26 are lovely and soft and you can wear 2 pairs if it’s really cold, perfect with a baggy jumper

Ive bought 3 pairs of these and they are lovely soft and comfortable - wear with tunics. Only go up to 20 so dont know if that is large enough.

I have fallen in love with Llama Leisure leggings. As a larger lady myself I adore them. So many beautiful bright colours and themes. They are substantial, soft and great for any occasion.

I’d recommend llama leggings too, but be warned they are addictive. I’ve now got 6 pairs plain and patterned.

Room lytham do lovely clothes for the curvy lady,I have bought many clothes from there,they have a fb page and a website

Another one for Llama leggings, they also come with or without pockets.

Have you tried Bonmarche they do comfortable pull on jersey trousers at reasonable prices.

You can’t beat Boden for leggings. They’re soft, don’t wrinkle and last forever. I’ve had mine for about five years and still going strong.

I vary from an 18 - 20 - 22 and find lots of jeans, leggings and leggings on Next. I wear them for comfort and practicality, not how I look (Kirkcubbin and Watermeadow) to others.

Should say leggings and JEGGINGS.

I'm always intriqued about wearing leggings. In summer not too bad but generally I always have cold feet with not wearing foot covering. In winter not too bad as boots can cover socks as long as the boot is high enough to cover up. How do others manage or am I the exception with cold feet. For large sizes, sure BonMarche has quite a selection of leggings, joggers both straight and cuff edged

I wear 3/4 leggings with trainers and trainer socks in summer. If I wear Crocs I still wear trainer socks.

Snag and Lovall have a large selection , different lengths too.

Yes I agree always buy mine from Lovall and they last really well too

Leggings do mot look good on larger ladies.

And why does that matter?

I wear Llama leggings, up to size 32!
I'm also finding wearable leggings on Temu

Try Llama Leisure. Beautifully soft, excellent quality and very reasonably priced

I don't think leggings suit "larger ladies" particularly if you look at yourself from the back. Stick to trousers, straight or wide leg for preference.

And maybe many of us 'larger ladies' are more concerned about our comfort than what some small-minded people may think of us?

I bought fleece lined leggings from Amazon. Very warm and comfy

Retired65 Mon 18-Nov-24 15:01:00

I have a pair of the M&S trousers mentioned. They are love to wear but they don't have any pockets and they weren't as warm as I hoped they would be.

I wear kit fit patterned type leggings for my keep fit classes and the other sort, black in colour, under my trousers to keep warm. They used to be called footless tights in the 1970s and I used to wear a pair for the dance and drama class I use to go to.

Retired65 Mon 18-Nov-24 15:01:54

That should be 'lovely to wear not 'love'.

Retired65 Mon 18-Nov-24 15:03:06

'Keep fit' not kit fit!
