Recommendations for leggings

Do any of you ladies have larger calves? I’m looking for recommendations for cropped leggings that don’t cut your circulation off - I think this may contribute to my calf pain - and I’m not up for braving shorts (maybe on my treadmill!)

I have 2 pairs of karrimor ones and have had to snap the stitching in them. UK based shopping please

Thanks a lot

M&S do suprisingly good ones - and not too expensive!

I have M&S ones. Go Move are better for me. The Go Train ones were really tight round the calf. Have a phone pocket and zipped waistband pocket for a key. Worth the money!!

I don’t know if you’re anywhere near a TK Maxx, but they always seem to have a ton of different styles, and you can see what you’re buying. It’s can be tricky getting leggings - best of luck! 😊😊😊

Thanks we do have one here - will take a look

I have M&S Capri go move and they are super. I would recommend them . I also have their go move leggings to . They are slightly long in the length as I’m not very tall but that’s no big deal and all are not too expensive. Good luck 😀😀

What about ‘longer’ shorts, ones that are just above the knee? I know you said, not shorts, but that would be my recommendation. Some brands do ‘longer’ and ‘short’ ones.....You have beautiful strong legs, what’s wrong with that?

I'm a big fan of Matalan, their leggings are surprisingly robust and comfortable. I've got chunky hips thighs and calves .

I wore shorts for the first time today as I'm a bit self conscious about my legs. So glad I did though - so much better in this heat! Deep breath and give them a go!!!

Have a look at Lucy Locket Loves active leggings and capris. They're made out of stretchy material which is really comfortable and also come with a zip pocket at the back. There's some really fun designs too (although black is also an option)
