Do you stop wearing your leggings when cold weather arrives, because you don’t think you’ll be warm enough?
You really don’t have to. Here are the best winter leggings to keep you cozy when the mercury dips.
Warm and fleece lined leggings
If you love the style and comfort of wearing your leggings with tunic tops and dresses or with long-line cardigans and sweaters, you can still continue to wear them during the colder months.
Rather than thinner styles that you would wear during the summer, look out for fleece lined leggings, thermal leggings or those made from knit fabrics.

The best warm leggings this season
We’ve lined up some of the best warm leggings for you this season.
Fleece lined leggings
When looking for leggings for winter, you will want to look for those which are specifically designed for the cool weather.
A fleece-lined pair will keep you warm.

If you already have a pair of classic black leggings that you wear in the warmer months, it could be worth adding a warmer pair to your closet.
You can pop these under your dresses to ensure you can continue to wear them when the weather cools down.
Thermal leggings
While thermal wear may once have had a reputation as being frumpy, thermal styles are now very stylish.
You really can’t tell the difference in style between a “normal” piece of clothing and thermal wear. The important difference is how warm you will be.

Velvet leggings
Velvet is a big trend this season and for good reason. You could wear velvet leggings for a more formal occasion, perhaps with a beautiful long tunic top, or you could style these with a chunky sweater.

Leggings which are too thin are never good. I’m sure we’ve all seen women wearing leggings which show more than they intended.
A pair of thicker leggings will provide you with coverage and warmth.
