Shoppers are swapping restrictive jeans for a 'comfy and stretchy' alternative from Roman. The Denim Stretch Jegging, priced at £26, gives the appearance of skinny jeans while offering plenty of give, making it a popular choice for autumn.
Comfort without compromising style
The jeggings feature an elasticated waistband and two back pockets, combining the comfort of a legging with the look of a jean. They are available in bright blue, steel blue, chocolate brown and black, in sizes eight to 20. Most colours are still available in almost all sizes, but they are likely to sell out quickly.
For women experiencing bloating or weight gain due to hormonal changes, the soft waistband avoids the digging and stiff fastenings of traditional jeans, while maintaining a sleek silhouette.
Shopper ratings and reviews
The jeggings have received an impressive 4.8 out of five-star rating from shoppers. One buyer said: "The jeggings are absolutely fabulous. True to size. Good length. Wash fab. Bought in black too and in the cropped version. So comfortable."
Another added: "These jeggings actually look like jeans - they are slightly more generous in the width of leg than others I have tried and are very comfortable. They look like tight jeans, rather than absolutely skinny jeans on me. They look great with a longer top and seem to be well-made and strong."
Alternatives from other retailers
Other stretchy options include the White Stuff Janey Jeggings, available for £45 from Marks and Spencer, designed to give a polished denim look with a more comfortable feel. At Next, the N. Premium Skinny Jeans are priced at £59 and use four-way stretch technology for movement while keeping a fitted shape.
One five-star review praised the Roman jeggings for their length and comfort: "As a tall person I struggle to get jeggings leggings etc that are long enough. These are great the length is perfect I'm 5ft 8in. The fit is so comfortable and now have a pair in black and denim. Wash well no shrinkage." A customer who dropped a star noted: "They fit perfectly but are a couple of inches too long for me (I'm 5ft4)."
