Leggings without baggy knees

I'm on the hunt for new leggings. My tried and trusted H&Ms are finally beginning to fade and the new season's version are rubbish in comparison and have started to look old after only two wears. Anyone have any recommendations?

I still have yet to venture into leggings, very conscious of my large thighs!

I do tend to favour long tops anyway, but the plumpness of my thighs extends to the inside bits just above my knees.

I like Sainsbury's too tanith. I recently bought two pairs of jeggings from them. They fit me perfectly, as do my jeans. I wouldn't go anywhere else now.

Sainsbury's clothes are good aren't they. I was looking for cheap leggings to wear in the evening (I'm keeping off the nickerless thread) when lounging around and found their clothes range is now excellent. The quality is good, the prices are excellent. The stuff washes well, what's not to like.

I prefer jeggings bought from new look or m&s

M & S ones are very good I wash and wash them - worn with very long jumper and big socks in doors - they never leave the house!

I wear £8 leggings from Matalan and never have baggy knees.

Another fan of Sainsbury's jeggings here - I have two pairs and they are into their third winter now, and still look fine.

In fact, I bought myself a purple velvet pair the other week - I think they were about £15 smile

Add me to the Sainsbury's fan club. I also tend to prefer jeggings to leggings and these are some of the very few items I look in M&S for.

I was in Sainsburys today and bought 2 pairs of leggings for a tenner and a nightdress for £12. My M&S trousers are so thin (made in China) that I will need the leggings underneath for warmth now that it has turned colder. I have bought knickers there in the past and they wash and wear well. I doubt if I will be returning to M&S to buy knickers.

Just got some heatgen brushed leggings from M&S that are brilliant but tried ordering another pair online and they are not there! M&S drives me mad with some things in the shop and some things online and never the twain shall meet! Get your act together Marks and your profits will go up!!!

Anne58 don't worry about your thighs! Good leggings will support them and covered with a longish too you will look fine! Once tried you will live in them!

Sorry meant top not too!

Leggings? You must be joking.

Only three thing's don't lie; small children, drunks and leggings hmm
