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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

NotSpaghetti Mon 18-Nov-24 09:37:34

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

I recently bought some from Llama. I prefer cotton leggings and Llama are synthetic but I wanted some to put on for special occasions that aren’t wrinkly round the knees. As my weight and size fluctuate all the time they’re perfect as they go from 8-12 and then 14+ I’ve got a pair in each size so they cover me for any weight gain or loss!

I came across this website, was a bit sceptical but reviews from larger ladies persuaded me to order. Glad I did, great leggings, comfy and plenty of designs.
Would highly recommend

Lovall do a wide range of sizes and their leggings are good quality and very stretchy. Their everyday ones are high waisted, too, which can be a lot more comfortable for those with a tummy.

When leggings arrived my daughter said, ‘Remember they are a substitute for tights, not for trousers’
Too many women, not all large, wear leggings which show exactly as much of them as tights would.

Another wholly unnecessary comment.

Redrobin51 Sun 17-Nov-24 21:12:36

My friend always buys the M & S ones.

Farzanah Sun 17-Nov-24 20:55:10

I live in M&S jeggings. Super comfortable and this year cord ones too. Several lengths.

I am a "larger" size and like fine leggings in winter under dresses instead of tights.

They can be dressed-up or be quite casual.

Leggings do mot look good on larger ladies.

An unnecessary comment, as it depends what you wear with them. Anyway, Grannybiz requested recommendations, not advice on how larger ladies should dress.

Unnecessary kircubbin2000.
I’m a size 12 was very grateful for the recommendation Allira but all sizes out of stock. 🙁 I’ll keep trying though.

I bought two pairs last year and they were out of stock a little while ago but managed to order some last week but I am no longer a size 12

They're so popular I'm sure they'll e back in tock soon.

Elusivebutterfly Sun 17-Nov-24 16:34:39

I agree with Allira on the M&S trousers. I have several pairs and find them both comfortable and smart. I expect they will soon be back in stock.
M&S heatgen thermal leggings are also soft and comfortable.

They do if you wear a long sweater or tunic over the top.
