Best value black leggings for fall/winter?

Anonymous
Where do people here get their leggings? Now that I've popped out my 2nd child, I think I'll be leaning heavily on the legging/long tunic or sweater + boots look this season. More comfortable and forgiving. Now, to find the leggings. Opaque, thicker, better quality, and comfortable (mid-rise at least; absolutely no low-rise). Any leads?

Also, where's a good place to buy the longer tunics and oversized sweaters? I was thinking of raiding my husband's sweaters, but interested to see how other people are pairing this look too.

TIA

I got a decent cheap pair at Lands End last winter. Very comfortable and held up well.

I just picked up a pair of black leggings at costco. $15. They were thick and opaque.

NP. How tall are you? I just bought a pack of camisoles from Costco based on a DCUM recommendation but they have to go back because they're crazy long on me. I'm 5'2".

What's the equivalent of black leggings with a tunic for someone who carries a lot of weight in her legs? I need some post-baby clothes for this winter and I can't really pull off the legging/big sweater look b/c my legs are so chunky. I'm almost 5'11" if that matters. Thanks!

Spanx has leggings. But I was too big for the look

Eh. I have quite a few pairs. Much prefer Hue for just a little bit more money.

I am intrigued by the Costco recommendation. Would they work for someone who is 5'9"?

To the poster reporting being too big for the look: it could work well if you find the right streamlining dark colored tunic, and also with the right shoes. For example, if you're concerned about your thighs, find a longer tunic, and perhaps consider wearing with taller boots to make your look elongated.

Lands end has leggings in regular and petite. I'm 5'2" and the petite works well. They're not expensive, relatively thick, and come in black, gray and navy.

Awesome, thanks.

I'm the OP. Has anyone tried the LOFT leggings?

I am the costco poster. I am 5'7, and they have a little bit of scrunching at the ankle. I would try them, and if they aren't long enough, costco's return policy is generous!

I wish I could wear this look, but I'm very flat cheated and always feel like it accentuates that. Anyone out there find a tunic that looks good without a rack to hang it on!

LOFT LOFT LOFT!!!!
They are a little pricey at $50 but they don't fade, are nice and thick so no see-through. You may have to order online. I only wear these and I'm very picky.
