Stylish jogging bottoms?

I usually change into jogging bottoms (non elasticated ankle types!) at home but now I wear them nearly all the time as i rarely leave the house.

I have one pair of Jersey 'loungewear' trousers which are lovely to wear as they are a bit like thicker PJ bottoms. They are lovely and relaxed but ok if someone comes round.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to buy some more.

Kate, I couldn't possibly tell! blush

It’s all your fault Kitty. I didn’t know I wanted any joggers till you started this thread ? And how many pairs of joggers have you got Mary ?

I am just about to find my credit card trawl through all the recommendations and send the bill to MrKitty or is that a very sexist remark ? ? If it is I will send it to you Kitty.

Now I have said my piece.

I recently bought a pair of lounging trousers from saint and Sofia, very comfortable and smart. Baukjen also have some lovely comfy smart trousers

sodapop and Phloembundle that was the first thing that popped into my head too. ?

Landsend Starfish straight leg trousers - lots of stretch, very comfortable, and look OK for home or going out!

I have several jogging suits in a range of colours from Lidl. They are velour and some have a sequin trim. Not always available but if you visit Lidl regularly you might be lucky! They are so easy to wear, wash well (inside out!) and don’t need ironing! Win, win, win!

M and S also do stretch pull on trousers in the trouser section. As comfortable as joggers but don't seem to 'knee' so easily. My mother always looks smart in hers whereas I look less so in my jeans!

M&S or you might like to try Bon Marche, Matalan.

Cotton Traders ones are nice. I've just bought some for DH for Christmas. Quite stylish. They do a few styles, are reasonably priced and they do ladies ones too.

I have some lovely cashmere lounging PJs from John Lewis. They’re really soft and cozy but I definitely wouldn’t call them stylish! They do have pockets though.

M & S have joggers with a seam down the front, straight legged. I recently bought two pairs and they could pass for trousers. £25 a pair so not cheap, at least by my standards.

BAM stuff is good.

Lucca Thu 15-Oct-20 10:11:58

Agree about m and s, had a pair years ago which Were great so tried this years version, awful fabric quality, took them back.

Lucca Thu 15-Oct-20 10:10:23

Sweaty Betty are very expensive but I have a pair (kind of yoga style) in teal which I wear for tennis and therefore wear at least three times a week and they still look great after a year. I have a. Ice blue pair from Gap too

I bought some from M&S recently and they went straight back. They were such bad quality.
I too am looking for some good quality ones. I have some from Mint Velvet but they are years old.
Teetime I too hate the stripe down the side and always wear a little makeup and perfume!

Alexa Thu 15-Oct-20 10:03:31

Same here, Vegansrock. Their cotton goods used to be and some still are good value but their synthetic fibre clothing is over priced for the quality it is. I used to like shopping there because of its convenience in the nearby garden centre, lay out, and small size of venue with nearby clean toilet,quiet cafe, and the other nice things in the garden centre.

vegansrock Thu 15-Oct-20 09:52:31

I stopped looking at the Cotton Traders when I saw a pair of their joggers were 100% POLYESTER! How they can call themselves Cotton Traders I don’t know. I want 100% cotton ones- or at least 95%, M and S ones look worth a go. Sweaty Betty look fab but £70! I like Uniqlo as a rule but found their joggers a bit short in the leg.

Phloembundle Thu 15-Oct-20 09:52:31

That's an oxymoron!

Flossieturner Thu 15-Oct-20 09:51:16

I don’t like the joggers with ribbed or Elasticated bottoms. I have just bought some black straight leg ones from Primark. They are really comfortable. I think they look like trousers.

Chardy Thu 15-Oct-20 09:50:15

Our M&S has several very nice lounging suits in their window this week.

shysal Thu 15-Oct-20 09:48:00

Cotton Traders have several styles with pockets. I am thinking of trying a pair then buying more if they fit well and are comfy.

Funnygran Thu 15-Oct-20 09:40:11

I too live in the M&S straight leg joggers and have a couple of pairs. £15 so hardly breaking the bank. They wash beautifully and the colour hasn’t faded. I don’t see them as ‘slobby’ and often wear them with a smart top. Or used to when we were allowed to socialise.

Teetime Thu 15-Oct-20 09:35:10

I've always liked Nike- I dont like ones with a stripe down the side- I have an M & S pair like this and they are very nice apart from the bloody stripe. I tend to wear leggings and a long jumper at home but always do my hair and a light makeup and some jewels!! Always perfume.

Marydoll Thu 15-Oct-20 09:31:13

I too have some from Sainsbury's. Nice and comfy, but smart. Is that possible?
I like the Tencel ones.

kittylester, I braved a short trip to John Lewis a couple of weeks ago. As I only wear dog walking jeans these days, decided I should have one decent pair in case I ever leave the house for purposes other than dog walking.

Stylish Jogging Bottoms are a Thing. I bought a pair along with a (stylish) long sweat shirt. The outfit cost about the same as the pair of jeans I'd gone in for. It's so comfortable and I feel I've made an effort when I put my new leisures on for the evening.
It's also possible to buy them in Sainsbury's for much less than JL charge.
