The colder weather may be here, but whether you're staying in cuddled up on the couch or getting outside for some fresh air, leggings [1] that keep you warm are an essential part of your wardrobes. While some thermal leggings are better suited for layering under ski pants or for taking a hike [2], others look best paired with a chic chunky knit [3] for a day out and about.
