Withactivewear andleisurewear rising the ranks of popular everyday attire, leggings have become a year-round wardrobe staple. Whether a chic high-waisted pair you wear to the gym (and to be honest, coffee after) or a comfy pair for hanging at home whilst bingeing on the latestNetflix series, our relationship with leggings has come a long way.

And while the jury is still out on whetherleggings are an acceptable replacement for pants—the Olsen twins making a strong case for the affirmative—there’s no denying they’re perfect for layering in the cooler months. However, as the temperature drops, you may find your go-to pair just isn’t warm enough. It could be time to update your wardrobe with a pair of fleece-lined leggings.

Unlike simplecotton leggings, fleece-lined leggings will keep you protected from the cold and wind making them the ideal clothing option if you’re planning a ski trip. You can even just pull them on under a dress for an extra layer of warmth when you head to work or pair them with a slouchy jumper for the perfectwinter weekend outfit.

You will find they are still versatile, comfortable, and affordable as your cotton pairs, just with that extra layer of warmth.

Here, we’ve rounded up our top nine pairs of women’s fleece-lined leggings to keep you cosy whatever you get up to this winter.

Will Fleece Lined Leggings Keep You Warm?

Yes, the structure of fleece keeps you much warmer than other fabrics do. This is because fleece contains air pockets, which trap heat and keep you warm.

Can I Machine Wash Fleece Lined Leggings?

Yes, you can put your fleece tights in the washing machine. To keep them protected, we recommend washing them in a laundry bag, and putting them on a delicate cycle at a low temperature.
