Soft leggings larger lady

Leggings are really unforgiving unfortunately as they are really comfortable.
I think it’s rather sad some of the sights you see out in leggings with short tops and you wish they had a mirror at home.
Poster ducks for cover but it is just my opinion !
I would never wear them which I regret but I have lumps and bumps and not enough confidence to carry them off.

Leggings do mot look good on larger ladies.

I have lipoedema, which means my legs, particularly my thighs, and bottom are large. I find that long tunic tops and cardigans over black leggings are a very flattering look. I agree that a waist or hip length jumper with leggings can look dreadful - on anyone of any age or size. It makes them look half dressed. However, when teamed with appropriate length clothing, they can look good on anyone.

i was going to suggest snag

Also, many ladies become apple shaped as they get older. This very often means that they have slender legs. A long jumper over leggings can look very nice on these ladies.

M&S sainsburys yours primark all sell nice leggings some are fur lined

Whilst the leggings may be comfortable - I have a big bottom and don't think they look good on me. Personally, I think only those who are very slim look good in leggings UNLESS you wear them under a long tunic to cover the bum

There are various ways to wear leggings. Me, I wear them instead of tights, with dresses of whatever length. With same-colour socks and either shoes or boots they look fine on any size. Try not to be judgy.

Well said

I’ve just been buying leggings, so I’m in the know! I like Carolina Dress Room, very soft and comfy, but loose, more like pyjamas. Seasalt are also great, very cotton rich and comfy, but pricey. Yours (now includes M&Co) are great for basic black/navy- true to size. Being larger myself (size 20), I usually go up a size in leggings for a smoother, sleeker, less squashed sausagey look. Also, check out Vinted first - loads of brand new leggings on there at bargain prices - people change their mind, or miss the return window. I always look there first once I’ve decided on colour and brand.

There was need for that opinion on this thread

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.

What a prig! I’d have invited her to mind her own business. Daughter or not.

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’ve bought those. They are lovely.
