“Win the morning, win the day.”
In the scheme of leggings, there’s the usual variations in compression, rise, and length. And then, once the first chill hits, we all collectively remember a different kind: fleece leggings. Whether you’re layering them under pants or a dress or going at it alone, a cozy fleece pair is clutch when temperatures get frigid—and Cuddl Duds Fleecewear Leggings are on sale right now to help you stock up your cold-weather wardrobe.
Now, unlike the rest of the fellow Millennial population, I’m a relatively new leggings convert. It started first in pregnancy (in which, of course, they eventually became the only bottoms I could wear) and slowly ramped up to today—an era in which I haven’t worn anything but leggings for the last week. And now that I’m in it, I am in it. So I can vouch that Cuddl Duds Fleecewear Leggings are the softest pair—and best at cutting the chill of winter wind—and they’re 17% off now through December 25.
Original $34; now on sale for $28
Pros:
- Cozy fleece material keeps you warm as a base layer or on its own
- Touch of spandex makes the comfy fleece more form-fitting
- Hidden, adjustable inner drawstring so they stay up
Cons:
- Not quite as body-hugging as regular leggings
I’m hashtag blessed to live next to Prospect Park, Brooklyn’s over-500-acre playground, and cherish my daily walks and chance to get out in nature—so there was no way I was giving that up once the temps dropped into the teens (plus, cold-weather walks offer tons of wellness benefits, too). Instead, I bought three pairs of Cuddl Duds (in dark grey, an emerald green, and navy instead of my usual black, just for fun) and have called it a very happy day.
Unlike some other pairs, these aren’t fleece lined—they’re fully soft, fuzzy fleece all the way through, but with a touch of spandex stretch to keep their shape on your body and a hidden elastic waistband to stay in place on top. They’re equally great as a cold-weather shield outdoors and a couch-lounging upgrade indoors—so really the only question is, how many pairs will you get?
