Stylish jogging bottoms?

I used to get quite a few things from Cotton Traders for wearing round the house but recently have found their quality and styling leaves a lot to be desired.

I’m not really bothered about how stylish my bottom is. No-one sees it any more!
Cotton Traders are good, but not for us shorties. Most of their clothing is Unisex, and the arms and legs are far too long. I mentioned it on their Facebook page and they actually thanked me for my comments. They said that their design team always try to take suggestions on board. I’m not holding my breath for a Petite range though.
My joggers haven’t seen the light of day for months, and I can’t remember where I bought them. Now that it’s becoming colder I may start wearing them around the house.

I have just ordered some from Uniqlo and John Lewis! I love Uniqlo's cashmere sweaters also although the colours are pretty dire this year.

What you wear in your own home is entirely your business, but stylish jogging suits? Surely that is an oxymoron?

Any wider leg suggestions?

Definitely Baukjen or Hush. I've had the same four pairs for several years now, they wash really well. M&S, even straight leg, are too long and baggy for me. As are Nike and Addidas. (For really jogging its got to be leggings, warm shorts, long socks anyway.)

Someone should start a company called ‘oxymoron’, very popular word here today.
I love my stylish M&S joggers, also a pair from Matalan with pockets.

Lulubelle- I'm not sure that M&S joggers as discussed here are exactly worn for actual jogging! They are available in four lengths so you should be able to find the right length for you. I need the longer length ones which aren't often in store but are easily available online. I just click and collect. My most recent pairs (I buy 2 at a time) were in very good quality fabric with a 'stay new' finish.

I wear lycra leggings - no I am not athletic! - with oversized tops and strappy tops underneath. So comfy and not too ashamed if the delivery man knocks at the door or I take the dog out. Last week I bought some from Lidl for £8!!! They are great value and quite smart!!!! I also love my Skechers that my daughter bought me!

Who cares about fashion, I'm all for comfort. Jeggings and jogging bottoms are my staples. Next joggers are super for those of us who are vertically challenged and so comfy.

I took up sewing during lockdown after a long break. Practically the first things I made were a couple of pairs of jersey lounging trousers. They don’t take long to make as there are no zips or pockets. I have lived in the ever since and have bought fabric for another pair.

For those of you who sew, Rebecca Page’s pattern is brilliant. She calls them Pippa Pants.

Some Oxymoron joggers
Are what I like to wear
They're not the height of fashion
But who am I to care?
I'll tell you they are stylish
You'll have to take my word.
Because they're oxymorons
In case you haven't heard.

I gave my sister two pairs of M&S joggers for her birthday today, they look fairly stylish and have two zipped pockets. They were their top end range.
I live in joggers and leggings at present, who needs tight waistbands when you are sitting around.

Matalan is THE place for comfy joggers. I have been buying black ones there for several winters as my old Victorian house is pretty cold all winter and I rarely go anywhere these days. I buy Men’s Large black joggers by EASY. They have 2 lovely deep pockets for my mobile phone and cordless house phone, one in each pocket, unlike the ladies’ joggers which don’t usually have pockets or only mini ones! These are 80% cotton, 20% polyester, have elasticated waist and fairly wide bottoms without elastic and No stripe. The inside is slightly fluffy to make them cosy. I paid a bargain £7.99 last winter and they last more than two or three years I think. I have 3 pairs so always have a clean pair and I love them. BTW, when it’s really cold I wear a pair of Primark thin stretchy cotton leggings underneath. They were £6 per pair last winter. So no need to pay M&S prices!

Now we just need someone to start an oxymoron range!! We'd be sorted then!!

We need somebody in charge of marketing, kitty

M&S aren't exactly pricy. The last pairs of joggers I bought there were £9 and 100% cotton.

Just bought some Sketchers walking leggings, smart enough to pop to the post box plus if you get a visitor you can always say you’ve been out jogging/walking. They are lovely and comfortable added plus useful pockets either side for your phone etc.

I have never nor ever would wear jogging bottoms (the clue is in the name) but if that is what you like it is no-one's business but your's.

However, I do wonder what everyone is doing with the smart, attractive and flattering clothes lurking in our wardrobes, only to emerge if visitors are expected or if one is on public view The way things are going that could be who-knows-when, so why not put them on and enjoy them
now?

kitty ! Give yourself a stern talking to....you are on the slippery road to staying in pj’s all day long.?

Elasticated waists are the slippery slope to onesies etc!

But they are comfy.

If we changed the name to Loungewear bottoms, would that be more acceptable?

I never buy the ones with ankle cuffs. A step too far! ?

Never ankle cuffs - honestly!!

I think my nice ones are loungewear bottoms as they have a draw string waist.

No elastic?

You could be ok then

Gosh, its a whole new world this lounge wear!

I used to like Cotton Traders but I did find the quality had dropped so haven't looked at them recently (*Vegan*, they're called Cotton Traders as the chap who started it was a Mr Cotton and his photo used to be on the front of the catalogue.)
