As a Texan who moved to New York City two years ago, I’m still learning how to dress properly for frigid temperatures that come with northeast winters. Don’t get me wrong, I love living in a state that actually has snowy weather, but having to shelf my favorite skirts and dresses for several months out of the year breaks my heart. Thanks to TikTok, however, I saw a genius hack that’ll allow me to don a mini skirt mid-January: sheer, fleece-lined tights that look like stockings. Considering I’m used to wearing shorts during the holidays back in Texas, I naturally had not heard about these genius tights, but now that I know about them, I’ll be stocking up before the temperatures begin to dip.
To save you time, I’ve already sifted through hundreds of Amazon listings to bring you the 10 best fleece-lined leggings and tights the retailer has to offer. Below, you’ll find body-hugging tights that look like sheer stockings but are secretly packing a cozy fleece interior, allowing you to wear your favorite dresses and skirts no matter how cold it gets outside. You’ll also find plush fleece-lined leggings that are warm enough to wear out in the cold with just a jacket. With such a wide variety of options starting at just $9, you’re bound to find the fleece-lined bottoms best suited for you this season.
Chrleisure Fleece-lined Tights
This $19 option from Chrleisure provides the illusion of sheer black tights while hiding 310 grams of ultra-thick fleece on the inside. These fleece-lined tights come in four different skin tones, allowing you to find the shade that best matches you — but they also come in green, navy blue, and wine red, too. One five-star reviewer urges Amazon shoppers on the fence to “buy them right now,” sharing that they tested these tights under skirts and dresses during a cold front with snowy, 10-degree Farenheit days.
Uislii Fleece-lined Tights
If you love the idea of sheer fleece-lined tights but want fun color options rather than skin tones, try this $30 option from Uislii. These tights come in five shades — including wine red, forest green, and hot pink — and are also available in plus sizes up to a size 4XL. They’re constructed with a thick, smoothing elastic waistband and have a high-waist silhouette in order to prevent a sagging crotch area. One five-star reviewer reports that they’re stretchy, don’t fall down, and don’t “squish” their booty flat, unlike some leggings and tights.
X-cheng Fleece-lined Tights
Over 5,000 Amazon shoppers have given these X-cheng fleece-lined tights a perfect five-star rating, with one reviewer sharing that they’re “cozy, warm, and perfect for cold weather.” Carried up to a 3XL and available in 12 different shades and combinations, these faux sheer tights have a U-shaped bottom seam to scoop and lift the buttocks. While the product description doesn’t mention what temperature these can be comfortably worn in, one shopper shares that they were “super warm” while wearing them on a 15-degree Farenheit day.
Everswe Opaque Fleece-lined Tights
If opaque tights are more your style, but you still want a fleece-lined interior, opt for these $10 tights from Everswe. Available in five fully opaque shades and carried up to a size XXL, these tights are thinner and fit slimmer than some of the other options on this list, making them more suited for chilly weather rather than freezing temps. One five-star reviewer loves this in-between thickness, sharing that they are warm without making them overheat.
Caprilite 2-pack Fleece-lined Tights
Looking to stock up on warm tights while saving money? Grab this two-pack from Caprilite for just $21 when you use the on-site 20-percent coupon. Carried up to a size XXL, this set comes in four different neutral color combinations of fleece-lined tights. Over 800 five-star ratings attest to their comfort, warmth, and fit, with one reviewer saying that the quality was “way better than expected,” while another reviewer shares that they’re soft, sturdy, and don’t catch on anything.
Baleaf Fleece-lined 3-pocket Leggings
These Baleaf fleece-lined leggings are like your favorite workout leggings — but way warmer. These high-waist leggings are constructed with two ultra-deep side pockets that are large enough to hold your wallet or smartphone on outings, plus a hidden waistband pocket perfect for your keys or ID. Available in 19 fun colors and carried up to a size 3XL, these leggings are made with a stretchy, breathable exterior, these leggings have a soft fleece lining that’ll keep you cozy up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ewedoos Fleece-lined Flare Leggings With Pockets
I love the unique contrast stitching and functional details of these Ewedoos fleece-lined flare leggings. On sale for $25 when you use the on-site $5 coupon, these leggings come with two ultra-deep side pockets for stashing your essentials, a wide elastic waist, and a smooth, seamless front. While the fleece interior is on the thinner side, one northern Montana resident who regularly braves subzero temperatures gave these leggings a perfect five-star rating, sharing that they “wouldn’t want to wear anything else” when relaxing at home on a frigid winter day.
Campsnail Fleece-lined Leggings
These $19 Campsnail leggings were built to keep you warm and toasty despite temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. They’ve got everything you could ever want in a pair of classic leggings — like a high waist, four-way stretch fabric, and tummy control — plus an ultra-thick and plush fleece interior. Equipped to withstand freezing temperatures, you can pair these leggings alone with a winter jacket on freezing winter days knowing your legs will stay warm the entire time.
Uniikstuff Plus-size Fleece-lined Tights
As a curvy girl, I know firsthand how tricky it can be to find tights in your size — let alone plush fleece-lined tights. This sheer option from Uniikstuff, on sale for $17 with the $3-off coupon, is available up to a 4XL and can keep you warm despite below-freezing temperatures. Made with a stretchy polyester-spandex-cotton blend, these tights come with a thick, smoothing elastic waistband that won’t dig into your midsection. One five-star reviewer shared that these tights are cute, comfy, and kept them warm while wearing them in 35 degree weather.
Crz Yoga Fleece-lined Bootcut Leggings
These Crz Yoga fleece-lined leggings have a bootcut silhouette that serves as a perfect middle ground between flare and ankle-hugging leggings. Available in 15 colors, these sleek leggings have a water-resistant exterior and a smooth thermal fleece interior that’s best suited for chilly evenings rather than freezing temps. On the back of the tummy-smoothing waistband is a discreet zipper pocket that’s large enough to fit your wallet, keys, or phone.
