Wet look/leather look jeggings/leggings

[Thora]

Are they awful? Am I too old? I am a fan of jeggings for every day wear due to comfort and being thicker than leggings.

I like the look of them and kind of think they are more dressy or going-outy than just black jeggings? But what would you wear with them? I have a mum tum so no crop tops

Mate I wear that kind of thing and leather look jeans. Usually with a midi dress or a tunic where the back is longer then the front.

I'll try to find some examples of tops....

I wear the leather look jeans a lot because they are great for cycling when it is raining-in fact it's my winter go to work clothing.

Google high low tunics.....

I doubt you are plus size as you have always been petite as far as I remember. So this is just an example. I'm pretty sure you could get what you want in primark.

We don't even have a Primark here but I am going to look for some sequin/glittery long tunic tops and that's Christmas parties sorted

I’ve mostly seen them quite dressed down with shirts and jumpers and ankle boots.

Not sure I’d wear anything too sparkly or dressy.

 

[Looby]

Some of those looks are horrible but yswim.

 

[kalidarkone]

I also wear them with a tartan shirt and trainers....punk rock.....

I was thinking something like this:

Not very dressy but ok for going out...

 

[Poot]

You should definitely get some. Definitely. Now I need some too. I *love* that sort of thing.

Do they creak?

I think that is really dressy! But then that us from someone that only really wears big boots.
One of my pet hates is when clothing for women is only ever shown with heels -when I want to know if it will work with big boots,docs or high top trainers!

And Wtf -why do women wearing jogging bottoms with high heels get shown? Never seen that in the real world!

Do they creak?

No they are leggings.

 

[Thora]

Yeah I don't wear heels either so it would be with ankle boots I think.

Yep. I hate that too. I cannot wear heels. So always have flats and DMs.

Well I went out last night and my friend (also in her 30s) was wearing coated leggings and looked great, so I'm convinced. They were very hot though apparently.

I am a fan on an unusual texture. I have rubber clothes and coated clothes etc and I concur. They are not the best if you suffer from hot flushes like wot I do. They are, however, remarkably wipe-clean

That all sounds completely filthy ^ It wasn't my intention

 

[pinkmonkey]

I have some glossy ones that aren’t coated, got them from TK Maxx and they are Bitte Kai Rand. - look for that brand in TK, its really nice! I wear them with my big boots. I only have big boots. They aren’t sweaty, I don’t think I could tolerate sweaty.

 

[May Kasahara]

I really like these too, any other brand tips?

 

[pinkmonkey]

These from American Apparel as they aren't made from coated fabric. Not cheap though, but I've had their leggings before and they are good quality.

You see them on all ages here, including much older women round our village. Look fine with an army greatcoat and a trailer full of spuds

Threads like these are a little peek into a strange and foreign world I normally have no access to, full of words I don’t understand and ideas I’ve never imagined.

I've ordered a load of wet look/coated/leather look leggings/jeggings/skinny jeans to try (because I'm not sure what the difference between them is ) so I will report back later
