Jeggings

mumslave

I got my jeggings from tesco, they have quite a strong elastic waist band so dont slip down. When not pregnant, I wear leggings/jeggings with knee high, heel boots and long smock tops (that dont make you look pregnant when you arent lol)

Sorry to take the thread off at a tengent but has anyone got any recommendations for Jeggings?

I bought mine from Primark and they are sooooooo uncomfortable .... they slip down at the back too .... I hope that they aren't a normally uncomfortable item of clothing but these particular ones definitely are!!

I normally wear mine with a long jomper/knitted dress or a short dress/skirt (I dont think I have the legs to go bare-legged)with boots (as its winter).

Mine are from New Look and are comfortable so far in as much as I have tried them on and worn the round the house for a bit.

I think jeggings look brilliant with a dressy top, it makes fancy stuff less formal or going out-y. Actually I've just bought a couple of long dressy tops in the Next sale and they'd be perfect with jeggings, must now buy some! Handy hint - if they fall down just get a bit of elastic, make a tiny hole in the inside of the waistband and thread the elastic through. I'm always having to do this with things and it really works. It doesn't work on really thick fabrics but it's fine on most things.

Just wear as jeans- if thicker material ones or... as leggings if the thin ones

The new look ones are thick ..and look like jeans, some even have buttons/zips in

Oversized jumpers/jumper dresses work a charm

I got mine from Very they're loveeely and don't worry about your size, mine are an 18 and I look fab !

I just googled...I wouldn't wear this even though I'm size 8/10. Then again, I don't wear leggins or skinny jeans either...

Polish, to be fair the OP asked for ideas not your opinion.

I've bought leggings from Primark, and had the same problem. They were really poor quality. The ones I've bought from New Look, and H&M are good quality.

I got some from tesco that are soooooo comfortable. I got the ones with a proper zip fly and button fastening with belt loops and everything so they look more like real jeans, and also stay up a lot better (don't know if I'm the only one, but I can't get normal elastic waistband leggings to stay up properly). They do them in black and dark denim colours and although they're marked at £12, mine scanned at £6 so a bargain too! x

Think the best advice- for most dress sizes (unless your going for the super skinny supermodel or body con look) is to be tight or tiny only in one area. If the tps is tight, the bottoms are lose and vice-a-versa. I'd say with Jeggins- the same with leggins, go lose on top.

Its the colour that makes them different to leggins- am I right? (have to say I've been blind as Ive not seen them anywhere!! maybe I'm seeing them and not realising they're actually jeggins!) as they're blue I'd say stick to cooler tones? things like blues, greens, cool creams, (ie not beige which could clash) and whites, pastles and black. I'd also go for an opposite texture to add more depth, things like chuny knits, lacey fabrics, soft angora looking fabrics, floppy cotton/jersey fabric sort of thing.

I hope you have fun shopping for new stuff- any excuse to shop, Lol!!
