I'm really allured to these, but showed my sister and she said they might be gorgeous and they might just be super-expensive pyjama bottoms. I was kind of picturing wearing them with sandals or converse-style pumps. Suspect I might need to order them to see. Also, I've never ordered from Sweaty Bettuy, do you know if they come up big/small/normal generally? Would welcome any opinions!

I love those and have a couple of pairs very similar that I wear to death. I don’t think they look too pyjama like on but I’m a right state at the moment so you might want to ignore me. :look:

I find SB comes up true to size and I always ask for a pair of the zero gravity bum sculpting leggings for my birthday. They are even more expensive in $$$.

Thank you for all your thoughts. They sound as mixed as mine :))

Olive, I always think of you as being very stylish, so that gives me confidence. I think they would look lovely on the right person, but I'm not certain that's me, I'll see! I'll make sure I get a code - I think there was a 15% off sign-up offer or something.

I think I'll order them and see how they look, thank you.

I just search for Sweaty Betty + my size every so often on eBay. People but it & exercise more, so then lose weight & sell their bigger gear, I’ve noticed.

Have you tried Thought?

They sell loungewear and cuffed trousers that they call slacks, half the price of sweaty betty. I have a pair of last year's they are fantastic in hot weather.

Saying that, I have ordered myself a pair (plain black & on offer) for the garden. And I am eyeing these up.
I ordered a pair of these last year. I’d say they look a lot nicer than they are - particularly for the price even with money off. They’re mostly made of a very thin material. I was very sad about it.
I shall save my money then, the thing stopping me was the price, even with a discount it's a lot to spend.

I've got those pip, I just really fancied the blue ones :))

Actually, I wonder if M&S have anything this year as I have a voucher.

I’ll have a look at this, thanks Duo. I’ve never heard of it before but it looks good.

I really like the Thought things I have. I have a dress & jumpsuit. The bamboo cuffed joggers look really appealing.

I love Sweaty Betty but for loungewear I'd go for Boody. I live in my lounge pants from them.

If anyone is thinking of shopping at Thought they're offering 15% off until midnight 7th June. SPRINGSAVER is the code.
