Quality Black Leggings

Ok, they're a wardrobe essential. But has anyone got any recommendations? I've given up on the cheap Primark ones, they get more see through each season!

I want some that stay black, wash after wash. Have plenty of stretch and thick enough that they aren't see through!

    I bought a pair from Topshop last year and they are still black and thick and I wear them alot. They've got seams sewn in down the front of the leg and a really thick waist band - really comfy !

    I get mine from h&m, the £7.99 divided ones, not the £5.99 ones. They are fab.
  • I was thinking about this today too. I've got some asda ones and they're a bit see thru, but I also have a pair of 3/4 ones from Next and they're loads better so I think I'll get some full length ones from there too.

    I think I'd rather pay a bit more than keep buying the cheap ones, I do have some H&M ones in other colours, they are quite good.
    Selects leggings are thick, but find they're quite low cut, i like them to come up to my waist so they hold things in and give a better line!

    Tesco have some cable knit ones (not wooly, still quite fine but opaque) for £10 they feel lovely and not wrinkly around the knee...

    Doesn't the word "quality" juxtaposed to "black leggings" create a contradiction in terms?

    I have this problem, I've had 3 pairs of Next leggings I've had for around 3 years, and worn them winter and summer to death, I've lost a bit of weight, they were starting to go a bit baggy and one pair had a hole, so I decided to go back to Next and invest, big mistake, they're so cheaply made now, completely see through (and I did buy the correct size) so I'd be interested in this too :o

    I get mine from Matalan-my last 2 pairs lasted ages (and got me through most of my 2nd pregnancy too). They aren't see through (unlike a pair from sainsburys i had) and have washed well :)

    I bought some of these today, have tried them on and they seem good, will see how they wash. I have had a pair of American Apparel ones for ages, they don't go baggy and fit really well, unfortunately they have now become faded after many washes.
