There are few winter wardrobe items that need as much care as a base – and anyone makes the mistake of tossing a winter coat over their usual work-appropriate outfit for a day. Windy winter knows that to be true. If you’re in a cold climate prone to snow, hail, or even a blizzard or two, a good pair of fleece-lined leggings can change your life.
“I’m looking for a pair of pants that are super comfortable, high-waisted and longer,” says the model and fashion blogger. Kristina Zias, who moved from the East Coast to Los Angeles. “I wanted something where I could lounge on the couch all day but then be able to put on an oversized sweater and boots and wear them out.”
There is a misconception that fleece-lined leggings add weight to your body, but the best fleece-lined leggings offer warmth without adding any volume. In fact, they look exactly like regular activewear, but are thinly lined with soft, warm fleece for a little extra insulation. That means you can wear them under a dress or dress, or as a base under ski pants for a day of climbing. Just look for words like “fleece lining” or “combed interior” in the description, which means they are specifically designed to hold and lock in heat.
