We love a sequinned dress as much as the next person (unless that person is Holly Willoughby, no one can match her penchant for sparkle), but when push comes to shove, what we really want to feel is comfortable.

Whether we're heading out to a pre-Chrimbo drinks gathering, meeting a friend for a festive catch-up or just hanging around watching cheesy rom-coms, we want to feel just as good as we look.

Enter the new £19.50 Printed Coated High Waisted Jeggings from Marks & Spencer, the unlikely hero of our Christmas wardrobe.

M&S' jeggings often top the brand's best-selling list and sell out fast - similar to the equally-affordable Cosy High Waisted Jeggings that have already sold out in the majority of sizes.

While comfort is always key, around Christmas time we all want to feel that extra bit fancy, so M&S' printed jegging designs are the perfect compromise.

Why we rate them:

Ideal for anyone who can't face a season of wearing restrictive jeans, these brushed cotton-blend jeggings are easy to pull on, flattering and most importantly, comfortable.

Available in four prints, including two cheetah prints, a subtle snake design and one with a hint of shimmer, there's a design to suit everyone's personal style.

In a modern ankle-grazer length, they're made from super-stretch fabric made with recycled polyester and sustainably-sourced viscose.

They're then finished with a comfy and stretchy elasticated waistband, so you don't need to worry about them falling down like your beloved, somewhat saggy leggings.

What the reviews say:

With over 170 reviews already, it's clear the shoppers and snug-seekers are big fans of these jeggings, and here's why.

  • "Great fit, excellent quality and look lovely. Ordered my normal size and fit really well."

  • "So comfortable, and so smart! Really good for this time of year (Xmas) when elasticated waistbands come in handy! Gorgeous looking too!"

  • "Very comfortable, flattering, no sagging. Subtle print. Really like these."

  • "Very happy with these jeggings, can dress them up and dress them down, very comfortable have two pairs now, easy to wash do not tumble dry!"

  • "I am in LOVE with these jeggings, they are so stretchy and flattering. Especially if you have a smaller waist/bigger thighs. I've found M&S jeggings to be super comfortable, and these are my second pair. These can be dressed up or down, and the animal print looks very glamorous."
