Stylish jogging bottoms?

I agree Jaxie Cotton Traders were ok for basics a while ago but now their clothes are frumpy and boring.

I’ve been resisting temptation to buy some since I bought several pairs for a loved one in residential care. They look so comfy and also smart due to the straight leg and no cuff. But I suspect they’ll be so comfy I’ll stop wearing my normal trousers and miss the early warning sign of the waist band starting to tighten. That usually prompts me to have some self control.

I've just bought my first pair of M&S straight leg jogging bottoms after reading this thread. They are lovely and comfy, look quite smart but, as someone said previously, no pockets. I've also bought some online from George at Asda, and they are good too.

Predictive text is awful. Should read jeggings.

Not for me I am afraid. Horrible things. I wear denim leggings. Very comfortable in a good range of finish. I will buy high rise jogging as not as slim as once was (doing Slimming World). I buy jogging from Dorothy Perkins - have nice organic ones at keen prices. Also from George at Asda and perhaps Next - they are more expensive and do not wear so well. I am.63. If I live to be 83 I may have to give in and have joggers but I will resist.

Some very pleasing loungewear towards the end of ITV's Lorraine today (Friday) with a variety of price tags Nanajack1

Vegansrock: the firm is called Cotton Traders because the owner’s surname is Cotton. What ghastly frumpy clothes he sells though.

I’m that age and no knowledge of rugby or Mr Cotton- not a fan of the website anyway, certainly not anything polyester.

vegans I think most people who would look at Cotton Traders are of an age to know that and remember the founder as a good rugby player.

I didn’t know that about Cotton Traders name and I expect most people don’t - therefore it’s misleading for many. Anyway I wouldn’t buy anything that is polyester - it’s basically plastic and hugely bad for the environment. I always look at the composition label. Organic or sustainable cotton isn’t always the most pricey so it’s worth looking.

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.

I never thought about the fabric used in Cotton Traders clothes - I buy almost all my clothes from them! They are called Cotton Traders because the company was started by Fran Cotton, a famous rugby player!

How they can call themselves Cotton Traders I don’t know.

Cotton is the surname of the owners, I believe.

I was just going to say the same Missie, a definite oxymoron in my Humble opinion. However they are really comfy .... and mine are wearing out so I will read with interest .

Never would have thought the words Stylish and Jogging bottoms could be used together

I buy mine from Cotton Traders (85% Cotton, 15% Polyester) - as they're a good price and I can get a longer length as I'm taller than average. Intend to get a couple more pairs for the winter.

Hi Kittylester
I’m like you and find joggers/leggings really comfy. Have you tried the site Everything £5. I heard about it approx 2 years ago, on tv and it’s brilliant. I don’t feel guilty anymore if want to splash out on some clothes. My wardrobe has never been fuller ??

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.)

No elastic?

You could be ok then

Never ankle cuffs - honestly!!

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

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! ?

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.

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?

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.

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

We need somebody in charge of marketing, kitty
