I hate to break it to you, but winter weather is officially here, and that means one thing: It’s time to update your wardrobe to include pieces that will keep you warm and cozy when temperatures drop. If you’re someone who lives in leggings year-round, I recommend investing in a great pair of fleece-lined leggings. Think of them as the souped-up version of the black leggings that you wore all summer and fall—they're quite literally lined with an extra layer of warmth. Because I hate that all-too-familiar chilly feeling, I did my research to find the very best fleece-lined leggings out there.

No matter what you’re looking for in a pair of fleece leggings, you'll find a pair you love on this list. Some are thin enough to layer under the rest of your clothes, and many aren't any thicker than a regular pair of leggings. Fleece-lined leggings from universally adored athleisure brands like Alo Yoga and Lululemon, for instance, look just as sleek as their warm-weather alternatives. Plus, the majority of the options on this list retail for under $50. Stay warm!
