We all love popping on a pair of comfy high-waisted leggings that support us as we move throughout the day, but in the colder months, our lightweight gym leggings aren’t always enough to beat the chill. Enter fleece-lined leggings, the saving grace of the winter months, and the perfect gift for your friends who feel the cold!
You wouldn’t skip leg day, so don’t skim past the importance of keeping your legs warm, and having pieces in your wardrobe dedicated to doing so.
Fleece-lined leggings are a non-negotiable this winter.
What Are Fleece Lined Leggings For?
Fleece-lined leggings are a thermal layer designed to keep your legs warm in the colder months. They can be worn for a range of outdoor activities like hiking, walking, camping, and skiing, but they’re also a great option for exercising and lounging. Simply swap out your regular leggings for a pair of fleece-lined winter leggings when you need to ramp up the warmth of your outfits.
Heading to the slopes for the start of ski season? Our fleece-lined leggings can be worn as a thermal layer under your ski trousers, or as a cute loungewear look when you’re back chilling at the chalet.
Styling Option 1: For Winter Walks And Hikes
With beautifully changing landscapes, lakes freezing over mystically, and trails becoming quieter, hiking in the winter months grows drastically appealing. But making sure you’re kitted out for the colder temperatures can be daunting, especially if you’re a hiking newbie. You want activewear pieces that are designed with insulating elements that won’t negatively impact the way you move. Our fleece-lined leggings are perfect for getting active and hitting the trails on a colder day, and you’ll love the side pockets to house your essentials as you walk.
We know we’ve said these leggings are made for hiking, but honestly, they’re perfect for any outdoor activity. So if your winter ritual is taking frost-kissed morning walks, or you’re out for your daily dog walk, then a pair of fleece-lined leggings are also a must-have for your wardrobe this season.

Styling Option 2: For Layering Under Dresses And Skirts
Although the colder seasons offer us the unending potential for layering clothes, if we’re being candid, the last thing we tend to reach for on colder days is a floaty skirt or dress. We want to feel warm and cozy, and having our bare legs out isn’t in that equation. Tights don’t even offer the warmth we’re seeking when the frost starts to set in.
Well, we have the perfect solution for staying warm while getting the wear out of your favorite midi skirts and dresses, even in the cooler months. Fleece-lined leggings provide that crucial base layer you need if you still plan to dazzle in your silky satin midi skirts and long dresses whatever the weather. Designed to be functional yet discreet; fleece leggings can be popped on under your dresses and tucked into your knee-high boots for a sneaky heat-trapping solution that people will be none-the-wiser to!
Styling Option 3: For Lounging And Casual Fits’
The third way we like to style fleece-lined leggings is exactly the way you’re used to wearing leggings. Style your leggings for maximum comfort with a casual, winter-ready fit, comprised of a pair of leggings with an oversized hoodie, or a chic chunky knit. But instead of feeling the goosebumps on your legs through your leggings, you can enjoy the insulating feel of the soft fleece lining on your skin.
A lot of our loungewear-based casual fits’ don’t see the light of day, which is totally okay, but instead of just throwing another jumper on to avoid a high heating bill like your mom’s drilled into you, why not wear something fit for purpose? We’re always looking for ways to keep the heat trapped in our house, so now you can do the same with your legs. Pop your fleece leggings on to keep cozy and warm on your rest days, and if you need to pop out on a quick shop run, you’ll know you’re prepared for the elements.
Gymshark Fleece-Lined Pocket Leggings
