The Best Fleece

Jul 19, 2023

It doesn't take long for British summers to become, well... bl**dy freezing - which means your best leggings collection needs a new addition: fleece-lined leggings. Such is the joys of living in the UK. Grumbling aside, this means it's time to stock up on warm-weather clothing and fleece-lined leggings are sure to be your favourite thing to wear this cold season. Let us explain...

Fleece-lined leggings are just like regular leggings (already a great head start because we girlies love a good pair of leggos) but they have a thin fleece layer inside. Fleece is a fantastic insulator, so all that warm kinetic energy produced is retained within your leggings. AKA no more freezing thighs! Hurrah. TikTok leggings, eat your heart out - there's a new type of leggings on the block that the internet is ready to obsess over.

It can also save your heating bill at home, as wrapping up in these will keep your body toasty and you'll feel less inclined to wack that thermostat up. All in all, they are amazing.

The ultimate comfort champs in our closet, we'd happily rock leggings all day, every day. But how do you style a pair of leggings for maximum fashion points? If we're being completely honest (this is a safe space), leggings have been low-key guilty of causing some major fashion blunders. Guilty as charged! Let's discuss how can we turn those fresh-out-the-bag fleece-lined leggings into something seriously chic. Here's the 411.

Running out for a few errands and want a comfy yet classy winter outfit? You can never go wrong with a long tailored trench coat, a long-sleeved bodysuit and a pair of fleece-lined leggings. Complete the look by throwing on your favourite chunky boots, and you've got yourself an outfit. Not keen on the cosy look? Dress up your outfit for the after-work drinks with a pair of scrunch bum leggings.

Nail the casual look with an oversized logo jumper and a stylish leather jacket on top (faux, of course). Extra points for draping said leather jacket over your shoulders, ever-so-effortlessly.

Yep, believe it or not, leggings CAN look formal - as long as you choose the right pair. Throw on your fav oversized blazer and some white trainers, and step out the door feeling as comfy and stylish as ever.
