I mean for typical U.K. summer weather, i.e. warmish, but not baking hot - to wear with my linen tunics.
Would be grateful for any suggestions!

I bought some coloured footless tights last year, which were useful to wear with dresses and tunics. Obviously they’re thinner than leggings, but then I soon get hot!

Uniqlo airism leggings are great for summer wear

They also do a style with pockets, always a winner for me

I bought some in a size 14 ( my usual size) and could hardly get them above my knees!

I always buy cropped leggings for the summer from White Stuff on line. They are made from organic cotton so bit cooler than lycra or nylon types.

How strange Maybee70 I have several pairs of different styles, size 12, bought over a period of time, and they all fit perfectly.

Have you checked the label or packaging to confirm the size you received?

I have recently bought 2 pairs of cotton leggings from Matalan. The cropped ones were £5 and full length £6.
Not worn yet but they seem OK.

I did. And I contacted them, too, but they weren’t very helpful.
