Do you wear leggings?

I bought some today from Asda! They were by the bras...

As soon as I got home I put them on under the aforesaid jogging trousers, and they feel wonderful - lovely and cosy. Certainly wouldn't wear them as outerwear, though, even though you could cut off the little bow!

Certainly the weather for layers Ana. Somewhere in this thread someone mentioned Celtic boots...I've skimmed though but can't find the post. Anyone remember it or have I made it up?

Mamie mentioned Celtic Aqualamb boots, Aka, on 17th November.

Someone put up a code to get a discount on them; just looking for it. My Celtic boots had a narrow escape today. My dog is no problem with shoes, never touches them but we went out for the day and put dog in kitchen [where her basket is]. Thankfully yesterday I put my boots on a table just in case the dog found them; what she does steal and chew are fur hats of any kind. Got home to find dog wagging her tail at the front door, which means she'd got out of the kitchen [don't know how]. She really would have chewed my new boots had she found them .

My Aquaboots arrived today. Wearing them with the leggings I bought for the gym round the house today it suddenly dawned on me that I used to wear very long jumpers. Has a sift through the wardrobe and there they are. Thank goodness I didn't throw them away . I'm actually going to wear leggings and a long jumper to the cinema tonight [trying them out under cover of darkness ]. Also, wearing fur boots and leggings round the house I realised that the temperature was way below where it usually is and I wasn't feeling at all cold. Hopefully what I save in heating will pay for the boots. Might be able to move into an igloo at this rate...

Hmm leggings, I haven't recovered from the time I stopped a perfect stranger and kindly told her that her "dress" had ridden up above her hips, only to be told "I'm wearing leggings" Eek!

Also I like to tuck my tummy in so I like sturdy fabrics around my waist to give me a bit of support. The GD is very keen on jeggings, hers are very thick and warm and they add a little substance to her skinny little legs giving her more pleasing proportions just right with a knitted jumper dress.

My DD likes leggings but she has very thin spindly ankles and shins so she wears hers with knee boots. She looks daft in shoes or shoe boots with them (IMHO).

I'm tall. My fear is that a jumper dress on me will show an unflattering section of flabby mid thigh out of proportion to the comparatively slimmer lower leg. If I wear leggings with a slim above knee skirt the thick opaque fabric makes my lower legs look chunkier than I like and I don't like the look with any of my shoes or boots. I prefer warm tights with flats instead.

I haven't learned to rock the leggings and flowing skirt look. I know some very stylish septuagenarians who dress warmly through winter with leggings on under full skirts and dresses, but somehow I can't work their magic.

I have some very stylish black knitted wool long johns with lace trims at waist and shin. They're absolutely blissful and really good looking on (shapeless as anything off the body) but although these would look great on show, mine are always a secret underlayer.

Today cotton leggings, warm socks, sheepskin lined suede boots, tiered skirt, long tunic top. Totally comfortable and elegant too though I sez it myself

Tried on my new Gudruns (dress and warm jumper) and minibags gave me such a look! I said: "That bad?" and she said "Yes". I said "Oh good" and felt great

I can't believe how warm my feet are in my Aquaboots, although I keep tripping over in them. I tripped on the way into the cinema then tripped on the way to the screen where our film was being shown. I explained the problem to the lady taking the tickets and each time I walked past her [I always seem to need to go to the loo part way through a film] she'd shout out 'lift your feet higher'. I still tripped .

Thanks Ana

I'll bump the thread up again.

Bags I'm sure the time will come in the not too distant future when you are able to reward Minibags' brutal honesty by returning the compliment
I'm sure your Gudruns look fab.

Hi Thatbags your outfit sounds Tres Chic , good on yer ! X

Thank you, jane and nonu . I think they look fab, and that's what counts . Trying some out on our Soop tomorrow.

give Soop , a huggy-wuggy from me . !

"and minibags gave me such a look! I said: "That bad?" and she said "Yes". I said "Oh good" and felt great"

I'm still laughing

You are my role model. Envious sigh over being allowed to wear sheepskin boots in public mine are referred to as flying boots as in I'm really a witch and they are nightime house attire only (draughty old house and really huge heating bills).

Got thermal vest and 'leggings' as underpinnings, do they count?
Also tried fleece-lined tights, a gift from a friend. Cosy but lethal if walking in 'stockinged feet' on a hard surface, very slippery! Health and safety will withdraw them from the market, I'm sure!

Realised why M&S sell thermal leggings; my legs felt a bit cold today. But chuffed that I can wear all my old long woolly sweaters [the beatnik look ].

I remember that, I used to buy sweaters from the mens' dept to get them big and baggy! They have all stood the test of time too!!!

You could wear your Asda thermal leggings under your ordinary ones, Tegan - I've been wearing mine under jeans, trousers, everything! Bought two more pairs the other day...

My legs would look even fatter if I did that. Will wear tights tomorrow [hadn't thought of doing that today]. That'll hold my tummy in as well. Still feel as if I'm walking around half dressed, though .

Disappointed with my M&S thermal 'leggings' they come up to my waist at the front but not at the back, hasn't anyone told the manufacturers that there needs to be more room behind to cover a behind?????
They did keep me warm tho'

Not wearing them back to front are you ???

No! I promise.... tab at the back as my lovely Mum used to say when I first started to dress myself many moons ago.
Concluded I'm a size 12 but bum is a generous 14!!!!!

Yes. A thousand times yes to leggings. Used to wear them in the 80s and was so glad when they came back into 'fashion' so I could stock up with some.

They are comfortable and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion; they have elasticated waists, so are comfortable; the long tops I wear with them cover all unsightly bulges; they are an ageless item ....

what's NOT to like about them? Long live leggings!

Yes i wear leggings,and i have 6 leggings. I wear it with long tops and it's my favorite dress.
