They're also so incredibly soft, that you'll want to buy a pair to wear for every single day of the week. So, if you're ready to invest in some fleece-lined leggings that'll help you beat the cold, keep scrolling for our top picks that reviewers keep raving about.
Best Fleece-Lined Leggings for Winter
Ewedoos Fleece Lined Leggings
These Ewedoos fleece-lined leggings are squat-proof, lunge-proof, and extra stretchy so you can focus on your morning winter workout without worrying about them being see-through. They also boast two spacious pockets that are perfect for storing your phone, keys, and other small workout essentials.
Glowing Review: "These leggings are perfect for fall/winter. Nice, warm, thick but not heavy. Can be used for hiking or casual day-to-day dressing."
Under Armour Thermals
Running during winter has never been easier with these Under Armour ColdGear Thermal leggings. Made from a fabric boasting exceptional sweat-wicking properties, these leggings go the extra mile with welded seams to banish unwanted friction. Say goodbye to chafing!
Amazon Rating: 4.1 Glowing Stars
90 Degree By Reflex High Waist Fleece Lined Leggings
Never underestimate the convenience of a side pocket, especially when it's paired with these highly-rated fleece-lined yoga pants. With a whopping 30 shades to choose from, you can even stock up for the week in every color imaginable.
Glowing Review: "So warm and cozy! It's thicker material but breathable. It hugs your figure gently. Fits well and does not ride up or down."
Romastory Winter Warm Leggings
According to one thrilled Amazon reviewer, these luxurious Romastory fleece-lined tights feel like you're practically "wearing kittens on your legs as pants." And the best part? They come with a price tag of less than $20. Talk about a steal!
Glowing Review: "These leggings fit far better than I expected for a "one size fits all" product. I'm 5' 9", 160 lbs, and just assumed that they'd be too short, too tight, or both. Instead, they actually fit fairly well and they're really warm. I wore these today under a long sweater and even though it's chilly and very windy today, my legs have stayed warm. In fact, they cut the wind far better than my sweater. Also, the inside is very soft, which makes them really comfortable against the skin."
Diravo Fleece Lined Leggings
Score big with this set of seven top-rated fleece-lined leggings, all under $40. What's even better? They come in a variety of colors to effortlessly match your entire wardrobe. They're also so stretchy and comfortable, that one Amazon reviewer even commented "My boyfriend stole my leggings."
Glowing Review: "OMG I am so glad I took a chance on these. Price point vs quantity is AMAZING! Some fleece-lined leggings use maybe Sherpa or something and they can be very itchy, but not these. They are so silky and soft and comfy."
BALEAF Women's Fleece Lined Leggings
With a lusciously soft fleece lining and a snug fit that practically feels like a second skin, these Baleaf leggings provide the ultimate freedom of movement—making them ideal for powering through yoga flows or even chilling on the couch.
Glowing Review: "Great winter leggings. Fleece finish inside to keep you warm, smooth and silky outside. Great stretch, no shrinkage. High-waisted so they don’t ride down. Would definitely buy another pair. Great value and flattering!"
Nike Yoga Women's 7/8 Fleece Pants
Snuggle up in these form-fitting Nike fleece leggings, tailored for both lounging around in your home and intense workouts. They're available in sizes M to 2XL. And can we talk about the soft gray color it comes in? It's basically the epitome of coziness!
E! Editor Glowing Review: "These Nike leggings were the only thing keeping me warm through the most brutal of winters in New York. Serious lifesavers."
UGG Women's Ashlee Double Knit Legging
When it comes to all things cozy, Ugg takes the crown, and it's no wonder they've created one of the coziest leggings on the block. Thanks to their double-knit magic, these Ashlee leggings outshine other non-fleece leggings, offering a thickness and comfort that's hard to beat.
Glowing Review: "These pants are great! I live in a cold climate and I wear these every day. I bought small and they fit perfectly (5,4" tall, 114 pounds). They're fitted but not tight like a lot of leggings."
Yogipace Water Resistant Fleece Lined Thermal Tights
In a market saturated with many high-rise legging options, we found an incredibly comfortable mid-rise option for those who prefer their legging to sit at their hip. They're also water-resistant, so if you get caught in the rain while out on your daily run, you'll stay dry and warm. Reviewers also love the variety of inseam options, making them the perfect pair for both tall and short people!
Glowing Review: "These leggings are the bomb. I wore them camping in cool and windy conditions and stayed warm. I also purposely spilled water on myself to test the water-repellant feature and stayed dry. These are not only soft but are also extremely comfortable."
ZUTY Fleece Lined Leggings
Check out these high-waisted leggings with a comfy 4.5-inch waistband that's supportive but not too tight. They're also a game-changer with spacious side pockets for your phone and a clever hidden pocket in the waistband for keys, cards, or whatever you need on the go.
Glowing Review: "I love these leggings! I got the first pair in the mail and went ahead and ordered a second pair cause I like them so well. They are so soft inside and out and very comfortable. You cannot see through them! I love the pockets on each side! I had all of the girls at work ordering them."
