Looking for good quality jeggings and black leggings

Hi

I'm looking for good quality jeggings and black leggings in tall size. I'm happy to pay a bit more for something that will not lose its shape and will last longer than ordinary leggings.

Any suggestions, please?

Cheers

    Try QVC " Women with control" brand very comfy I have the Leggings and the boot cut trs theyre very good quality and both have 14% elastane so really hold u in and give u a good shape also shows no lumps and bumps like cheaper ones do, I always go down a size or two as theyre very generous !

    At one time I would have said Marks & Spencer - but sadly their quality isn't what it used to be.

    Shame really, as there clearly are plenty of us around who would be willing to pay more for good quality - not just looking for the cheapest on offer!

    Just a word of warning (and perhaps not a suprize!) I went through more pairs of Primark leggings last year than I want to think about: the version with fleece in the lining did keep me really warm, but just fell down by lunch time and were constantly malting over the rest of my clothes when I washed them. Its such a shame as if they just made them to not fall down I'm sure they'd sell out more than they could imagine!
  • Thanks for your replies so far!

    Kelk72, I had a look at QVC's Women With Control range, which I had never heard of before and looks like the kind of quality I'm looking for. The problem is that they don't seem to offer a tall range, which is a shame...

    Jbro, I also used to buy leggings at M&S, but realised that their quality is not that brilliant anymore.

    Jenniewb, I don't buy clothes at Primark anymore, as their quality is appalling and don't wash well at all.

    Cheers.

    I can recommend TU jeggings at sainburys. I wear them to work and find they hold their shape and wash and last well.

    Thanks for letting me know. Are Sainsburys jeggings ok around the knee area as well? I bought a pair of leggings from Next a while ago and they first lost their shape in this area.

    H&M £7.99 leggings. Last ages and quite thick, I have some which are 3 years old and still going.

    Never noticed a problem around the knee area.
  • Hiya,

    I got some from Select today. The sizes are very generous including the length & they are nice and thick too :) Much better than Primark, ASDA, Tesco or Sainsburys. Or so I think anyway xxx

    I like asda's leggings, they're a decent thickness and didn't fall down. Word of warning though do not buy the gold digger leggings from sports direct, they're awful!
