Eek!! I bought some leggings!

Sainsbury's TU do nice Jeggings. Not too tight

Well, you must have looked very young in them littleflo, what's not to like?

I have resisted leggings and jeggings until I read these posts. I bit the bullet and ordered a pair, plus a long top. I am short and skinny and I asked my OH what he thought. "Are you auditioning for Peter Pan?".

They have gone back.

Hotter do wide fitting boots, I noticed some short ones with a zip on both sides.

I bought my new brown boots from Clarks and I think some of their styles come in wide fit too - hope you are successful.

Oh. This is all good. Thank you. My hopes are up. I did try some ankle boots on in Marks yesterday. The right one zipped up but the left one would only zip half way. So now realise one ankle/leg bigger than the other. Urghh.

What about ankle boots lundylinda?

lundylinda I have the same problem with boots. Bought some supposedly wide fit on the Internet from Marks and they wouldn't even zip up. Took them back to a big Marks store and tried on various wide fit ones and was successful finally. Also Evans' boots are extra wide. Good luck! I HATE boot shopping but they are so useful with leggings I had to persevere.

I too have been reading all the advice on how to wear leggings. Got my first pair yesterday in Marks. Then a mid thigh length jumper from 'Primani'. But now I'm having trouble finding suitable boots to fit my chunky legs. So will be going off to Exeter for the day tomorrow. Any hints on who may stock something suitable would be great.

Well, having read all the posts I am off to buy some leggings, I can see lots of uses, doing the housework with a long top in summer, under my nightdress on cold nights and as an alternative to long johns under trousers. Not sure I would wear them out of the house, maybe for gardening, but who knows.

I could live and die in legging/jeggings. I have all sorts of coloured leggings - some with flowers, some with patterns - all very eye catching. They are lovely. With a longish top I am set for the day. I am not a frock person. I wear pumps in different colours too.

EX-TREEMLY gillybob!

I have just bought the most amazing pair of tartan leggings! They are
FAB-YOU-LUS

How brave am I?

They look better. Don't think I saw those. Will have to have a look with daughter. She finds things that I swear are not there.

Jeggings are bendy jings but they are thicker than leggings and feel too tight for me - as though your legs have been bandaged.

leggings

I have these M&S leggings in grey and black - they have a seam and look quite smart with a long top. Only £15 and wash well.

And by the time you have walked round the entire place, you can't remember where the things were that did look possible, and have to walk round again looking for them.

Asking for help is no use - you describe it and they say "Which range was it in?" No idea, there are so many ranges.

Trouble with our Marks is, the stuff is spread out everywhere. I'm never sure if I've found everything.

sherish the jeggings I saw in Marks and Sparks were definitely more fabric-ish, but, I think perhaps, less bendy. More like extremely tight legged trousers. I'm going to have to have another look and perhaps try some. I am going to look in Next too as glamma suggests.

My sister is 5'10 and rather voluptuous; leggings and long tops and tiny cardigans seem to be her wardrobe staples. She always looks very glam.

I tend to live in jeans and long tops - tried jeggings but felt claustrophobic. I quite like the sound of cord leggings - was that M&S?

Clothes not clthes obviously. I hate the way the keyboard covers what I am writing on ios8.

I think it is fine for anybody to wear anything they like as long as they feel comfortable. I never wear mustard yellow because I would look ghastly, but I wouldn't try and tell anyone else not too. I think rules about not wearing certain types of clthes over forty, sixty or ninety are ageist and patronising.

Marmight so true!
I can only try on leggings/jeggings/treggings when my bladder is empty otherwise I wet myself laughing at my 'image' in the mirror!
I also look like Russ Abbot's Flying Officer Kite in knee length shorts! My problem is 'sparrow-legs' from the knees down.
Maureen Lipman suggested checking the rear view many years ago when we all went mad for leotards/leggings and keep fit classes!

If, like me you are shortish and have beer bottle legs, I think these legging things should be avoided at all costs. If, like Marelli and others, you are tall and slim of leg, they are fine. I walked behind a woman yesterday who was wearing them; her a* * * was enormous and wobbled from side to side and her vpl was very visible! I think a reverse view mirror should be used before setting out thus attired .

I have worn leggings in the past but I'm going to try jeggings. If I'm right I think they are more of a fabric than a stretchy jersey, just slimmer on the legs than jeans. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I bought a pair of navy legging this summer to go with a tunic DD1 bought me for my birthday. I was afraid I was a bit like mutton dressed as lamb, but you lot have reassured me.

Thank you!
