Styling Leggings & Joggers

Right, let’s get real: leggings and joggers have basically become the MVPs of our wardrobes, haven’t they? They’re like your comfy slippers, but you can wear them anywhere. But just because they’re cosy doesn’t mean you have to look like you’ve just dragged yourself away from the sofa (though no judgment if you have).


Whether you’re popping out for the weekly shop, meeting friends for a natter, or just enjoying some well-earned me-time, Bonmarché’s leggings and joggers have your back. From ribbed leggings that hug you in all the right places to thermal styles that say “bring on winter”, plus tapered and wide-leg joggers that look effortlessly chic, we’ve got you sorted.


Fancy a nosy at what’s on offer? Keep reading to hear about our faves or check out our full leggings and joggers collection.

How to Style Black Leggings for Any Occasion

Black leggings are the most versatile item in your wardrobe. They're comfy, reliable, and can work with any outfit. Our 2 Pack Essential Black Ribbed Leggings are practically legendary with customers who swear by their fit and comfort.


You really can pair them with anything, but if you need a little inspiration for a casual look - chuck on a long tunic or blouse and an oversized cardigan if there’s a chill and voilà - instant outfit that hides all the bits you don’t want the world to see (you know the ones). Plus, it’s ridiculously cosy.


Customer Shout-Outs:

 “I bought these last month and they are so comfortable, excellent leg fitting, they are the only shop that caters for short people, lovely staff, friendly and very helpful people.”


 “Good fit and length. Have been buying these for years, and will continue to do so.”

How to Dress Up Black Leggings

Want to take your leggings from ‘just popped to the shops’ to ‘ready for a cheeky afternoon tea’? It’s all about the extras. Think of your leggings as Cinderella, comfortable and humble all day, but with the right jacket, smart shoes, and a statement necklace, bam! They transform into the belle of the ball. Suddenly, your loungewear isn’t just comfy, it’s a dressed-up statement piece fit for any occasion (no fairy godmother required).

How to Style Joggers Fashionably

Joggers have come a long way from their “only for the sofa” days – now they’re a wardrobe favourite that can be dressed up or down without losing that all-important comfort. Take our new Jacquard Tapered Joggers - they’ve got the easy-wear elasticated waist, relaxed fit, and tapered leg you love, but the textured jacquard fabric makes them smart enough for lunch dates or evenings out.


For a polished look that’s still effortless, try pairing them with a flowing blouse or smart shirt from our collection. A tunic works beautifully for a little extra coverage, while light knitwear or a tailored coat adds warmth and structure when you’re heading outdoors. If you’re keeping it casual, our loungewear tops or soft sweatshirts will give you all-day comfort with a relaxed feel.


And because they come in a choice of classic colours, you can mix and match to suit your mood – whether you’re feeling sleek and chic in black, or brightening things up with a lighter shade.


If you fancy a bit more legroom, our Wide-Leg Relaxed Jog Trousers are a dream. Roomy, flattering, and ideal for pairing with a fitted top or a tunic to create some balance in your look. One reviewer said, “Bought a pair in black a couple months ago, so comfortable and wash well. I was very happy with them, so I went and got another pair in navy. They are a perfect fit. Would definitely recommend.” 


Why not try them for yourself and see if they live up to the hype?

How to Style Thermal Leggings for Colder Days

When the cold starts creeping in, thermal leggings are the unsung heroes of winter wardrobes. They keep you warm and snug without making you look like a Michelin Man (we’ve all been there).


Our Plain Thermal Leggings are cosy, soft, and perfect for layering under tunics, dresses, or oversized sweatshirts. Basically, the difference between shivering and smugly enjoying a cuppa in comfort.
